Products containing these chemicals, which are all restricted to non-animal use, can be found on the PubCRIS database on the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) website.

Rotation of chemical groups

Flies develop resistance when exposed to the same insecticide repeatedly. This makes the chemical ineffective as a fly control. To prevent flies building resistance, rotate the chemical groups.
