Fenoxycarb is an insect growth regulator.[1][2][3] It has a low toxicity for bees, birds, and humans, but is toxic to fish.[3] The oral LD50 for rats is greater than 16,800 milligrams per kilogram (0.269 oz/lb).[4]

Fenoxycarb is non-neurotoxic and does not have the same mode of action as other carbamate insecticides. Instead, it prevents immature insects from reaching maturity by mimicking juvenile hormone (IRAC group 7B).[5][6]
