Nibor-D Insecticide

Particularly effective in food-handling and commercial kitchen environments, NIBOR-D targets small flies and cockroaches that hide in drains, cracks, and around equipment. Its flexible application methods allow professionals to adapt treatments to a variety of conditions and hard-to-reach areas.

Nibor-D can be used in Green Pest Management® programs. As a borate-based product, Nibor-D has a very low mammalian toxicity and targets specific pests. This reduces the impact on people, pets and non-target insects beneficial to the environment (such as butterflies and honeybees). Also, Nibor-D is applied only where needed, further reducing any unnecessary impact to the rest of the environment. And since it is long-lasting, less product is required for a successful and effective Green Pest Management program.

Nibor-D’s effect on target pests comes from the way the boron molecules in its active ingredient interfere with a pest’s metabolism. Because pests cannot excrete excess boron as humans can, the boron builds up in their systems and ultimately interrupts the normal chemical process of transforming food into energy. So, by ingesting Nibor-D, the insect is unable to extract nutrition from its food and effectively starves to death. Humans, pets and other living things don’t share the risk because they are able to excrete excess boron from their bodies.
