Thiamethoxam targets nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the nervous system of insects, causing paralysis and death. Its dual action—both via contact and ingestion—ensures rapid and reliable pest control. The compound selectively binds to insect receptors, reducing risk to mammals and non-target species, making it ideal for Integrated Pest Management (IPM) systems.

1. What is Thiamethoxam?
Thiamethoxam is a broad-spectrum systemic insecticide from the neonicotinoid family. It is widely used in agriculture to control a variety of sucking and chewing pests by targeting the insect nervous system.
2. What is Thiamethoxam Used For?
Thiamethoxam is used to protect crops like rice, corn, cotton, vegetables, and fruit trees from pests such as aphids, whiteflies, thrips, rice hoppers, and flea beetles. It can be applied as a foliar spray or seed treatment.
3. How Does Thiamethoxam Work (Mode of Action)?
Thiamethoxam acts on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the insect central nervous system. This disrupts nerve transmission, causing paralysis and death. Its systemic nature ensures protection from within the plant.
4. Can Thiamethoxam Be Used for Bed Bugs?
While Thiamethoxam is primarily designed for agricultural use, some research shows limited efficacy against bed bugs. However, it is not commonly used or approved for indoor pest control. Always follow label recommendations.
5. What is Thiamethoxam’s CAS Number?
The CAS number of Thiamethoxam is 153719-23-4.
6. What is the Formula of Thiamethoxam?
The chemical formula for Thiamethoxam is C₈H₁₀ClN₅O₃S.
7. What is Thiamethoxam Technical?
Thiamethoxam technical refers to the pure, active ingredient before formulation. It is used as the base material to create various insecticide formulations such as 25% WG, 75% WDG, or 350 g/L FS.
8. Thiamethoxam vs. Fipronil
Thiamethoxam targets the nervous system via nicotinic receptors, while Fipronil targets GABA-gated chloride channels. Thiamethoxam is systemic and ideal for seed and foliar applications, whereas Fipronil is often used in soil and bait formulations.
9. Thiamethoxam vs. Imidacloprid
Both are neonicotinoids with similar modes of action. Thiamethoxam has slightly faster uptake and systemic movement, while Imidacloprid may offer longer residual activity in soil.
10. Thiamethoxam vs. Indoxacarb
Indoxacarb is an oxadiazine insecticide that blocks sodium channels. It is mainly a contact and ingestion insecticide, unlike Thiamethoxam, which is systemic. They can be used in rotation for resistance management.
11. Thiamethoxam + Chlorantraniliprole
This combination provides dual-action pest control—Thiamethoxam targets sucking pests, while Chlorantraniliprole controls chewing pests and caterpillars. Ideal for vegetables and fruit crops.
12. Thiamethoxam + Fipronil
Combining these two broad-spectrum insecticides enhances effectiveness against soil and foliar pests and provides resistance management. Commonly used in seed treatment and foliar sprays.
13. Thiamethoxam + Imidacloprid
Although both are neonicotinoids, combining them is rare due to similar modes of action. Use with caution to avoid resistance buildup.
14. Clothianidin + Thiamethoxam
Both are neonicotinoids. The combination may enhance efficacy but should be used judiciously to manage resistance.
15. Thiamethoxam + Cyantraniliprole
This mix provides systemic and translaminar activity, targeting both sap-sucking insects and lepidopteran larvae. It offers comprehensive crop protection in vegetables and fruit trees.
16. Thiamethoxam + Lambda-Cyhalothrin
This is a powerful combination of a neonicotinoid and a pyrethroid. Thiamethoxam offers systemic protection, while Lambda-Cyhalothrin gives quick knockdown effect. Widely used in foliar applications for rapid pest control.
