Usage

General Description

3-([1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yloxy)propane-1,2-diol, also known as Bifenthrin, is a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide and acaricide. It is commonly used in agriculture to control a wide range of pests including ants, fleas, cockroaches, mosquitoes, and ticks. Bifenthrin works by targeting the nervous systems of insects, causing paralysis and eventually death. It is also used in residential settings for pest control and in the treatment of wood to prevent termite infestations. Bifenthrin is considered to be relatively low in toxicity to humans and non-target organisms when used according to label instructions, but it can be harmful if ingested or inhaled in large amounts.
