How Bayer Regent Ultra Works

Regent Ultra contains Fipronil, a phenylpyrazole insecticide belonging to IRAC Group 2B. It disrupts insect nerve signal transmission by blocking GABA-regulated chloride channels. This causes abnormal nervous system activity and ultimately leads to the death of susceptible insects.
