It's a fond farewell to Fipronil

Monday 02/10/2023

Leading pest control solutions manufacturer, BASF, has announced that its popular insecticide products, Goliath® Gel and Formidor®, will be withdrawn, with the last sales in March 2024.

The phaseout comes as a result of a European-wide withdrawal of the active substance fipronil under the European Biocidal Products Regulation (Reg. EU 528/2012).

All biocidal products containing Fipronil in Europe will be affected following this decision. Therefore, the market-leading products Goliath® Gel and Formidor® will not be available to purchase on the UK market after March 2024.
