Prallethrin is an insecticide composed of a mixture of diastereomers, specifically (1R)-trans-chrysanthemate and (1R)-cis-chrysanthemate esters. It is used to control mosquitoes, flies, and other pests in residential and agricultural settings. Prallethrin acts on the insect’s nervous system, disrupting neurotransmission and causing paralysis and death. This insecticide is valued for its rapid knockdown effect and low toxicity to mammals. However, precautions must be taken to minimize exposure to humans and non-target organisms during application.
