• Signs of acute toxicity in rats and mice given single doses of fipronil via oral or inhalation exposure generally include
changes in activity or gait, hunched appearance, tremors, convulsions, and seizures.7
• Clinical signs of toxicity in mice fed doses of fipronil (87.4-97.2%) in the diet for 6 weeks included overactivity, irritability,
abnormal gait or posture, body tremors, convulsions, and death.7
• Signs of toxicity during a 52-week chronic rat feeding study included reduced feeding and food conversion efficiency,
