Fenoxycarb is aninsect growth regulator.[1][2][3] It has a low toxicity forbees,birds, andhumans, but is toxic tofish.[3] The oralLD50 for rats is greater than 16,800 milligrams per kilogram (0.269 oz/lb).[4]
Fenoxycarb is non-neurotoxic and does not have the same mode of action as othercarbamate insecticides. Instead, it prevents immature insects from reaching maturity by mimickingjuvenile hormone (IRAC group 7B).[5][6]
