Fluvalinate (Cat.No:I027644) is a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide widely used in agricultural and veterinary applications. It is effective against various pests, including mites and insects, and is commonly employed in beekeeping to control Varroa mites. Fluvalinate acts by disrupting the nervous system of target pests, leading to paralysis and eventual death.
