Notes: Hexaflumuron is a chitin synthesis inhibitor used to bait and eliminate termite colonies.{33917} Hexaflumuron spreads efficiently through entire populations through mutual exchange of liquids via regurgitation.{33919} Termites are unable to metabolize hexaflumuron and clearance is slow, resulting in up to 100% elimination. Hexaflumuron has also been tested for use with the raisin moth, cowpea weevil, and Asiatic rice borer with positive results.{33918,33915} Formulations containing hexaflumuron have been used in the control of insects in residential areas.
