Product Description
Permethrin is a synthetic chemical widely used as an insecticide, acaricide, and insect repellent. Derived from natural pyrethrins found in chrysanthemum flowers, it acts on the nervous system of insects, leading to paralysis and death. Permethrin is commonly used in agriculture, domestic pest control, and in treatments for lice and scabies. It is also applied to clothing, mosquito nets, and military uniforms for protection against insect bites. While generally safe for humans and animals in low concentrations, it can be toxic to cats and aquatic life. Its effectiveness, versatility, and long-lasting protection make it a valuable tool in vector control.
