1 Subsection (Annex Point) 5.1 Function (IIA5.1) 5.2 Organism(s) to be controlled and products, organisms or objects to be protected Organism(s) to be controlled Products, organisms or objects to be protected 5.3 Effects on target organisms, and likely concentration at which the active substance will be used (IIA5.3) Effects on target organisms (IIA5.3) Likely concentrations at which the A.S. will be used (IIA5.3) PT 18 insecticide Musca domestica, Musca autumnalis Livestock and poultry stables Domestic premises insecticidal, with contact and stomach action Official use only 5.4 Mode of action (including time delay) (IIA5.4) Mode of action Clothianidin belongs to the chemical class of insecticides known as neonicotinoids or chloronicotinyls and especially active against homopteran and coleopteran pest species. The compound acts agonistically on insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptors located in the central nervous system. Clothianidin has excellent systemic properties as indicated by its physicochemical characteristics Time delay RCC project no

2 5.5 Field of use envisaged (IIA5.5) MG01: Disinfectants, general biocidal products MG02: Preservatives currently not relevant MG03: Pest control The present dossier is to support PT 18. MG04: Other biocidal products Further specification 5.6 User (IIA5.6) Industrial Professional General public 5.7 Information on the occurrence or possible occurrence of the development of resistance and appropriate management strategies (IIA5.7) Development of resistance Management strategies currently not relevant none No Yes Farmers, applying the product either by smearing (undiluted) or by low-pressure spraying (diluted with water, 1+2) in livestock and poultry stables. Yes Consumers, applying the product by smearing onto cardboard pieces for fly control in domestic premises. is only applicable for adult of insects (e.g. Musca domestica and Musca autumnalis) and not applicable for other generations (e.g. eggs, larvae and pupae). Moreover, application of paste formulation generally takes place above the lethal level. Therefore, it is expected to be difficult to develop resistance of target insects. However, clothianidin belongs to the chemical class of chloronicotinyls/ neonicotinoids like many other insecticides which might promote the development of resistance. Active substances of different chemical classes should be used in rotation. This is to avoid a selection of the pest when the next generation has to be treated. The product should be used as recommended in terms of dose to be applied and treatment intervals. The effective dose must be applied and no higher or lower doses. RCC project no
