SECTION 11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Only acute toxicity studies have been conducted on this product as formulated. The non-acute information
pertains to the active ingredient, imidacloprid.
Male/Female Rat: LD50: > 5,000 mg/kg
Acute Oral Toxicity
Male/Female Rat: LD50: > 5,000 mg/kg
Acute Dermal Toxicity
Not Applicable. No possibility of drift or off-placement desposition of the product
Acute Inhalation Toxicity
from crack and crevice use since the formulation is a thick, syrup-based paste
and the active ingredient is non-volatile (vapor pressure = 1.5E10(-9) mm @
20癈).
Rabbit: Mild skin irritation
Skin Irritation
Rabbit: Minimal irritant.
Eye Irritation
Guinea pig: non-sensitizing
Sensitization
In a 3-week dermal toxicity study, rabbits treated with imidacloprid showed no
Sub-Chronic Toxicity
local or systemic effects at levels up to and including 1000 mg/kg, the limit dose.
In a 4-week inhalation study, rats exposed to high concentrations of imidacloprid
exhibited decreased body weight gains and changes in clinical chemistries and
organ weights.
In chronic dietary studies in rats and dogs exposed to imidacloprid, the target

organs were the thyroids and/or liver.
Assessment Carcinogenicity
In oncogenicity studies in rats and mice, imidacloprid was not considered carcinogenic in either species.

REPRODUCTION: In a two-generation reproduction study in rats, imidacloprid

weights at the high dose and in conjunction with maternal toxicity.
DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: In developmental toxicity studies in rats and
rabbits, there was no evidence of an embryotoxic or teratogenic potential for
imidacloprid. In both species, developmental effects were observed only at high

doses and in conjunction with maternal toxicity.
In acute and subchronic neurotoxicity screening studies in rats, imidacloprid
Neurotoxicity
produced slight neurobehavioral effects in each study at the highest dose tested.
There were no correlating morphological changes observed in the neural tissues.
In a one-generation developmental neurotoxicity screening study in rats,
offspring exposed to imidacloprid showed decreased body weights and motor
activities. These effects occurred at the highest dose tested and in conjunction
with maternal toxicity. There were no correlating morphological changes
observed in the neural tissues.
The imidacloprid mutagenicity studies, taken collectively, demonstrate that the
Mutagenicity
active ingredient is not genotoxic or mutagenic.
