Key points

Thiacloprid is an insecticide primarily used on crops such as cotton, potatoes, vegetables, and various fruits.
The approval for this substance expired because it meets criteria for being toxic to reproduction, making it a prohibited 'cut-off' substance.
There are significant concerns regarding the contamination of drinking water with metabolites that may be carcinogenic.
Scientific evidence indicates that exposure to this substance can have devastating effects on the health and behavior of honey bees and bumblebees.
