Pyrethroids

Pyrethroids are a class of synthetic chemicals modeled after natural insecticides found in chrysanthemum flowers. They are commonly used in pest control products for homes, gardens, and agriculture because they effectively kill insects like mosquitoes, flies, and ants. Pyrethroids work by affecting the nervous system of insects, causing paralysis and death. They are generally considered safe for humans and pets when used as directed, but concerns exist regarding their environmental impact and potential effects on beneficial insects. Proper usage and disposal are important to mitigate any adverse effects.
