Features of Cypermethrin
- High Efficiency: Cypermethrin has high stomach toxicity and contact toxicity to insects, with strong selectivity and long-lasting effects. Once in contact with harmful insects, it acts immediately on the central nervous system, leading to rapid death.
2. Low Toxicity: It is low in toxicity to humans and warm-blooded animals; even in the case of accidental ingestion or contact, it can be rapidly metabolized in the body.
3. Environmental Stability: Cypermethrin is not easily degraded by light and air.
4. Repellent Properties: Cypermethrin is a low-toxicity, powerful repellent that is not absorbed or transmitted within plant tissues. It is widely used for the control of agricultural pests, public health pests, livestock pests, and stored grain pests.
5. Activating Effect: Cypermethrin has a stronger activating effect than other insecticides, prompting pests hidden in burrows to come out and contact the insecticide. However, due to years of continuous use and the issue of cross-resistance with organophosphates and carbamate insecticides, pests have developed strong resistance to this type of pesticide, significantly reducing its effectiveness.

Application
Cypermethrin has a wide range of applications, especially for controlling pests in fruits (grapes), vegetables (potatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, peppers, tomatoes), grains (corn, soybeans), cotton, coffee, ornamental plants, and trees. It targets pests from the order Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, Diptera, Hemiptera, and others.
It is also used to control mosquitoes, cockroaches, houseflies, and other public health pests.
Additionally, it can serve as an external insecticide for animals, controlling beetles, aphids, and Lepidoptera pests on field crops like cotton, fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants.
Cypermethrin is effective against larvae of the order Lepidoptera and shows good efficacy against pests from the orders Diptera and Hemiptera. However, it is ineffective against mites and is suitable for crops such as cotton, fruit trees, tea trees, soybeans, and sugar beets.
