InsecticidesFMC Transport Insecticide Review: Transport-EX vs. GHP & Mikron Guide
A complete guide to understanding the "Transport" brand: Propoxur flushing agents (India), advanced dual-action systemic controls (USA), and logistics.
The name "FMC Transport" refers to two very different things depending on where you live. In India, Transport-EX is a powerful "flushing" agent used to drive cockroaches out of hiding. In the USA, Transport GHP/Mikron is a high-tech combination chemistry designed to eliminate entire colonies of ants and bed bugs.
Note: If you are looking for the Missouri-based trucking company (FMC Transport Inc.), please see the FAQ section below.

8 topicsWhy farmers choose itWhy Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️ Rapid Knockdown & Flushing: Especially with Transport-EX (India), the high vapor pressure forces pests out of deep crevices immediately, giving you visual proof it's working.
- ?️ Dual-Action Resistance Breaker: The US versions (GHP/Mikron) combine Acetamiprid and Bifenthrin. This kills pests that are genetically resistant to standard sprays.
- ⏳ 90-Day Residual Protection: Transport GHP provides a lasting barrier (up to 3 months), reducing the need for expensive callbacks and re-treatments.
- ?️ The "Transfer Effect": Unique to the US formulation, insects walk over the treated area and unknowingly carry the poison back to the nest, killing the queen.
- ? Versatile Formulation Options: Available as an Oil-based EC for penetrating grease (Transport-EX) or a non-staining Wettable Powder/Micro-emulsion for clean homes (GHP/Mikron).

Product scienceHow It Works: Mode of Action
The mechanism depends entirely on the version you are using.
- Nervous System Overload (Both): Transport-EX (Propoxur) inhibits the enzyme acetylcholinesterase ($$ \\text{Enzyme} + \\text{Inhibitor} \\rightarrow \\text{Carbamylated Enzyme} $$), preventing the breakdown of neurotransmitters. The US version (GHP) jams open sodium channels while simultaneously stimulating receptors. Both lead to paralysis and death.
- The Flushing Effect (Transport-EX): The vapors irritate the insect's sensory system immediately. This forces pests like German Roaches out of cracks and into the open, allowing for a direct kill.
- Synergistic Transfer (Transport GHP): The Acetamiprid component is "stealthy." Insects don't detect it, so they walk over it and spread the poison to other colony members through grooming.
Result: Total population collapse, either through immediate contact (India) or horizontal transfer (USA).

How to applyDosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Area" instructions. Transport-EX is liquid; Transport GHP is often a powder packet.
How to applyDosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Application Type | Dose (ml or oz / Acre equiv) | Carrier Fluid | Dose (Standard Mix) | PHI (Re-entry) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Transport-EX (Roach Cleanout) | N/A (Indoor) | Water (or Kerosene) | 25 ml - 50 ml / Litre | Wait until dry (2-4 hrs) |
| Transport GHP (Bed Bugs) | N/A (Indoor) | Water Only | 1 Packet (0.3 oz) / Gallon | Wait until dry |
| Transport Mikron (General) | 1.25 oz / 1000 sq ft | Water Only | 1.25 fl oz / Gallon | Wait until dry |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: Not applicable for structural pest control. Ensure area is dry before re-entry.
Useful detailsHow to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply when infestations are first spotted. For bed bugs, inspect mattress seams and box springs immediately.
- Mixing: For Transport GHP (powder), drop the water-soluble packet into the spray tank after filling it halfway with water. For Transport-EX (liquid), mix gently.
- Coverage: Focus on "Cracks and Crevices." Insects hide in tight gaps. Do not spray open floor areas; focus on baseboards and corners.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Transport-EX has a strong odor; ventilate the area well.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between Transport-EX and Transport GHP?
Transport-EX (India) uses Propoxur for immediate "shock" and flushing. Transport GHP (USA) uses Acetamiprid and Bifenthrin for stealthy colony elimination and long-term residual control.
2. Are these products safe for pets and children?
Once the spray has completely dried, Transport GHP/Mikron is considered safe for pets to re-enter the room. Transport-EX is more toxic; strict exclusion is required during treatment and drying. Always follow the label.
3. Is FMC Transport the same as the trucking company?
No. FMC Transport Inc. is a separate logistics company in Missouri (USDOT: 461519) that hauls fuel and asphalt. They are not the same as FMC Corporation, the chemical manufacturer.
4. Does Transport work on bed bugs?
Yes. Transport GHP is specifically engineered to kill pyrethroid-resistant bed bugs by attacking two different parts of the insect's nervous system simultaneously.
5. Can I use Transport-EX in the USA?
No. The residential use of Propoxur (the active ingredient in Transport-EX) has been cancelled by the EPA for most indoor applications due to safety concerns.
