How it works
Many insecticides repel pests, so their ‘control’ of pest populations is more a case of simply moving them. The pests are repelled before they become affected and increase pest pressure on untreated paddocks and pasture.
Fipronil, the active ingredient of Cosmos®, has no repellent effect. It can’t be detected in the soil by pests like redlegged earth mites, so they come into contact with it or ingest it as they approach seeds and the population is reduced.
