Phenothrin(Cat No.:I002886)is a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide widely used for controlling lice, fleas, and other household pests. It functions by targeting the nervous system of insects, disrupting sodium channel activity, and causing paralysis and eventual death. Phenothrin is favored for its high efficacy, low mammalian toxicity, and rapid action. Commonly found in shampoos, sprays, and environmental treatments, it is effective against adult insects but may require combination therapies for comprehensive pest control, including eggs and larvae. Its safety and versatility make it a key tool in public health and pest management.
