6. Fipronil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fipronil

   Fipronil is a broad-spectrum insecticide that belongs to the phenylpyrazole chemical family. Fipronil disrupts the insect central nervous system by blocking the ligand-gated ion channel of the GABA A receptor and glutamate-gated chloride (GluCl) channels. This causes hyperexcitation of contaminated insects' nerves and muscles.

7. Neonicotinoid - Wikipedia
