Overview

Imidacloprid is a systemic insecticide belonging to the neonicotinoid class, which acts on the central nervous system of insects. It works by interfering with the transmission of stimuli in the insect nervous system, causing paralysis and eventual death. Imidacloprid is effective on contact and via stomach action and is more toxic to insects than to mammals.

Uses

Imidacloprid is widely used in agriculture for pest control, including aphids, cane beetles, thrips, stink bugs, and locusts. It is also used in arboriculture to protect trees from boring insects, in home protection against termites and cockroaches, and in domestic animals for flea control. Additionally, it is applied to turf and gardens to control various pests.

Regulatory

Imidacloprid has been the subject of regulatory scrutiny due to its impact on pollinators. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) concluded that most uses of neonicotinoid pesticides, including Imidacloprid, pose a risk to bees. The pesticide has been banned for all outdoor use in the European Union since 2018, while it remains partially approved in the U.S. and other regions.

Monitoring

Monitoring studies have shown that Imidacloprid can contaminate surface waters, with levels sometimes exceeding chronic toxicity thresholds for aquatic invertebrates. It has a high potential to run off into surface water and leach into groundwater, particularly in areas with permeable soils and shallow water tables.

Health Impact

Imidacloprid is rated as "moderately toxic" on an acute oral basis to mammals and low toxicity on a dermal basis. It is not listed as a carcinogen but is on the EPA's Tier 1 Screening Order for endocrine disruptor testing. Acute exposure can cause symptoms like emesis, diaphoresis, drowsiness, and disorientation.

Environmental Impact

Imidacloprid is highly toxic to bees, birds, and aquatic invertebrates. It has been shown to impair navigation, foraging, and learning in honeybees and reduce brood development in bumblebees. It also poses a potential high acute risk to herbivorous and insectivorous birds.

Safety Measure

To minimize environmental impact, it is recommended to apply Imidacloprid at recommended rates, avoid irrigation, and not apply it when heavy rainfall is predicted. Proper handling and usage instructions should be followed to ensure safety.
