Applications
In veterinary medicine, spinosad is formulated as oral chewable tablets for dogs for the treatment and prevention of flea infestations (Ctenocephalides felis). It provides rapid kill of adult fleas, typically within 30 minutes of ingestion, with month-long duration of activity. In agriculture, spinosad is used as a crop protection insecticide against thrips, leafminers, caterpillars, and fruit flies. It is approved for organic farming in many jurisdictions due to its natural origin and low environmental persistence. In public health, spinosad topical suspension is approved for head lice (Pediculosis capitis) treatment in humans.
