Metabu

Metabu (Fipronil 4% + Acetamiprid 4% SC)

Metabu is a broad-spectrum combination insecticide formulated as a suspension concentrate (SC) for effective control of a wide range of insect pests in agricultural crops. This dual-active formulation combines Fipronil, a phenylpyrazole compound, and Acetamiprid, a neonicotinoid, working synergistically to target pests such as aphids, whiteflies, thrips, and soil-dwelling insects.

Mode of Action:

Fipronil inhibits GABA-gated chloride channels in the insect nervous system, disrupting neural transmission, causing hyper excitation, paralysis, and death. Acetamiprid binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), interfering with nerve impulse transmission, leads to overstimulation, paralysis, and death of the pest.

Key features and Benefits:


  • Provides both contact and ingestion as well as systemic action, ensuring thorough pest control.
  • A versatile solution for managing agricultural pests as well as household termites.
  • Delivers immediate pest death and long-lasting protection with rapid absorption into foliage.
  • Targets all stages of sucking pests (egg, nymph, and adult), including Aphids, Jassids, and Whiteflies in cotton.
  • Prevents pest development by killing eggs, reducing future pest populations.
