Dinotefuran is an insecticide of the neonicotinoid class developed by Mitsui Chemicals for control of insect pests such as aphids, whiteflies, thrips, leafhoppers, leafminers, sawflies, mole cricket, white grubs, lacebugs, billbugs, beetles, mealybugs, and cockroaches on leafy vegetables, in residential and commercial buildings, and for professional turf management. Its mechanism of action involves disruption of the insect's nervous system by inhibiting nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. In order to avoid harming beneficial insects such as bees, it should not be applied during bloom.

In July 2013, the state of Oregon temporarily restricted the use of dinotefuran pending the results of an investigation into a large bee kill.

Dinotefuran is also used in veterinary medicine as a flea and tick preventive for dogs and as a flea preventive for cats. It is used in combination with pyriproxifen or permethrin.

Current studies show dinotefuran is effective at controlling the invasive Spotted lanternfly, first found in Berks County, PA, in 2014.

Dinotefuran is a relatively new insecticide belonging to the class of insecticides known as neonicotinoids, which are among the most widely used insecticides in the world. Dinotefuran products are labeled "Reduced-Risk" by the EPA, meaning they have very low toxicity and are generally safer around humans, pets and the environment. Common products that we carry with dinotefuran are alpine aerosols, alping dusts, alpine termite foams and alpine baits.

Dinotefuran is a neonicotinoid which is a chemical designed to mimic the effects of nicotine, found commonly in tobacco. Dinotefuran is also systemic, meaning that it is absorbed into the plants that it is applied on and moves through the entire plant body down to the root. Dinotefuran's mode of action is achieved by disrupting stimuli transmission within the nervous system of the targeted insect when the insect either ingests or absorbs the active into its body.
