Description

A synthetic pyrethroid Insecticide. Permethrin is stable to light. Compared to other insecticides, pyrethrins have low toxicity to mammals. They break down fairly rapidly at leave no harmful residues. Permethrin is used for ticks, flies, bees, lice, and spiders. Some insect repellents also contain permethrin.
