Properties
A study was conducted to investigate the effect of chlorophoxime for the control of fleas in kangaroo rats and hispid cotton rats. Chlorphoxime was found to be effective.[3]
In another study, the efficacy of some insecticides was investigated on certain storage pests. While phoxim, bioresmethrin and fenitrothion showed strong activity against the red-brown rice mealybug, the insecticidal activity of chlorphoxim and permethrin was low.[4]
