Deltamethrin

Deltamethrin is a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide used to control pests in agriculture, including mosquitoes, flies, and crop-damaging insects like aphids and moths. It works by disrupting the nervous system of insects, leading to paralysis and death.

Deltamethrin is known for its rapid knockdown effect, making it effective for immediate pest control, but concerns about its toxicity to aquatic life have prompted regulatory measures in certain regions.
