No matter how hard you try, there are all sorts of ways that pests can invade your home and property. Sometimes, it seems as if there are as many pest control solutions as there are pests and pests invasions. One pest control solution or insecticide is Navigator SC. Here is a quick guide to what this product is and what its applications are.
Navigator SC Uses Fipronil to Control Pests
Navigator SC is a pesticide that uses fipronil as its active ingredient. This chemical kills insects through ingestion and contact because it binds specifically to insects’ nerve endings and makes their bodies unable to function.
It Is Useful Against Termites and Ants
The way this pesticide works makes it particularly useful to control pests that tend to live in large colonies, such as termites and ants. Navigator SC termiticide is undetectable to the bugs at first, which means that they aren’t killed until they return to their colonies. Since fipronil kills bugs even when it comes in contact with them, it spreads quickly through a colony once an infected individual comes back.
It is effective against termites and ants because it is easy to apply in hard-to-reach places where they tend to form their colonies. This pesticide can be applied around the perimeter of a property to prevent them from entering in the first place, on a piece of property before construction, or after construction if you notice pests. It is particularly useful against subterranean colonies since the individuals track it back.
