Pyrethroid insecticides

Pyrethroid insecticides are chemicals designed to control pests like mosquitoes, flies, and fleas. They mimic natural compounds found in chrysanthemum flowers, affecting the nervous system of insects by disrupting nerve signals, which leads to paralysis and death. Pyrethroids are widely used because they are effective, fast-acting, and relatively safe for humans when used properly. However, they can be toxic to aquatic life and other non-target animals if not handled responsibly. These insecticides are commonly found in household sprays, agricultural products, and mosquito control devices to help reduce insect populations and prevent disease transmission.
