Alarm

1. Active Ingredient: Fipronil 0.6% GR (Granules)
2. Description:
   Alarm is an effective granular insecticide containing Fipronil, a broad-spectrum phenylpyrazole insecticide. Fipronil primarily acts as a contact and stomach poison, disrupting the central nervous system of insects by blocking the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-gated chloride channels. This results in over-stimulation of the insect’s nerves, causing paralysis and death. The granular formulation of Alarm ensures easy application and effective soil pest control.

   • Provides excellent control of soil-dwelling insects.
   • Long-lasting residual activity ensures extended protection.
   • Low application rates are effective, making it economical.
