Usage

General Description

2-methyl-2-phenylcyclohexyl carbamate, also known as TFM, is a chemical compound commonly used as a pesticide in controlling sea lamprey populations in freshwater ecosystems. It works by interfering with the normal functioning of the lampreys' nervous system, ultimately leading to their death. TFM is relatively non-toxic to other non-target species, including fish and amphibians, and breaks down quickly in the environment. It is typically applied to water bodies as a liquid or granular formulation, and its use is regulated to ensure minimal impact on the surrounding ecosystem. TFM has been shown to be an effective tool in controlling sea lamprey populations, contributing to the restoration and conservation of native fish species in affected areas.
