How It Works: Mode of Action
Chlorpyrifos interferes with the enzyme that regulates the transfer of nerve signals in susceptible insects.
- Pest exposure: Follow the crop-specific contact and application directions on the current pack.
- Nerve signalling: Chlorpyrifos inhibits acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme needed for normal nerve signalling.
- Loss of normal function: The affected nerve system disrupts susceptible insects. No universal knockdown time or residual period is promised.
Use the stated mode-of-action group when planning resistance management. A different brand name does not necessarily mean a different mode of action.

Dosage & Application Guide
Historical formulation reference only: the table below is based on the September 2025 CIBRC major-use compilation. It is not a complete current Lethal Super 550 label or an independent instruction to apply. Confirm every value against the supplied pack before use.
Qualified formulation rates and waiting periods
| Crop / programme | Product rate | Water / acre* | Tank dose | Reference PHI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rice | Current pack | 202–405 L | Not supplied | 15 days |
| Cotton | Current pack | 202–405 L | Not supplied | 30 days |
Historical agricultural reference: rice and cotton each 500–1000 L water/ha, approximately 202–405 L/acre. Reference PHI is 15 days for rice and 30 days for cotton. Product quantities are held because their source units or area basis are incomplete.
*Area quantities are approximate acre equivalents of the original hectare values stated above. PHI means the time between the last treatment and harvest; “not stated” is not zero days.
Building termite treatment is not an agricultural spray programme. The online 0.50% statement lacks a clear concentration basis and complete procedure, so no building dilution or treatment-volume recipe is supplied. Confirm the separate current label and applicable professional-use requirements. Crop rates, methods and waiting directions also need current-pack confirmation.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Confirm the crop and target: Identify the problem and match it to the current supplied label, not just the active ingredient.
- Use the complete pack directions: Check the crop-specific rate, water, equipment, timing and placement before measuring product.
- Do not assume a mixture is suitable: Use another product or adjuvant only when the relevant labels permit that combination. A jar test alone does not establish crop safety or permission.
- Protect people and nearby areas: Follow protective-equipment and re-entry directions, prevent drift and water contamination, and observe the required harvest interval.
