The active ingredient in FAROX - fenoxycarb - is a novel insect growth regulator for preventive use against wood-boring insects (Hylotrupes, Anobium and Lyctus). FAROX has the same biological effect as a natural insect growth factor produced by the insect itself. FAROX is tailor-made for insect control; it attacks at the points where the insect should normally be changing its form and blocks these insect-specific processes i.e. from egg to larva and from larva to pupa. FAROX has shown to be effective in preventive EN standard tests, carried out by EMPA (CH). FAROX possesses an extensive toxicological and ecotoxicological data base.
