Method of action
Hexythiazox 10% EC is a specialized acaricide from the carboxamide (organophosphate) chemical group formulated as an emulsifiable concentrate (EC). This compound is a non-systemic pesticide with contact and digestive effects and is mainly known as a tick growth regulator.
Hexythiazox acts by inhibiting chitin synthesis; chitin is the main component of the tick exoskeleton. It inhibits the growth and development of tick eggs, larvae and pupae It stops molting and causes death of immature stages It has no direct effect on adult ticks, but eggs from treated materials are infertile. At the molecular level, this compound disrupts the normal development of ticks by affecting the chitin synthase enzyme (CHS1).
