Product type
Pyrethroid insecticides are synthetic chemicals modeled after the natural insecticidal compounds found in chrysanthemum flowers. They work by disrupting the nervous system of insects, leading to paralysis and death. These insecticides are widely used in agriculture due to their effectiveness against a broad range of pests while being relatively low in toxicity to humans and animals when used correctly.
