Permethrin (Cat No.:I003926) is a synthetic insecticide and acaricide from the pyrethroid family. It is commonly used to control and eliminate various pests, including insects and ticks. Permethrin acts by targeting the nervous system of insects and other arthropods, disrupting their normal function and leading to paralysis and death. It exhibits both contact and ingestion toxicity, making it effective against a wide range of pests. Permethrin is used in agriculture to protect crops from insect damage, in public health programs to control disease-carrying mosquitoes, and in veterinary medicine to treat and prevent infestations in animals. It is also used in household insecticides for controlling pests in and around the home.
