The present invention relates to novel crystalline polymorphs, solvatepseudomorphs and amorphous form of 5-amino-l-[2,6-dichloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl] -4- [(trifluoromethyl)sulfinyl] - 1 H-pyrazole-3 -carbonitrile (fipronil). The present invention also provides methods forpreparing the novel polymorphs, pseudomorphs and amorphous form, as well asinsecticidal or pesticidal compositions comprising same, and methods of usethereof as pesticidal agents.
