Yes, some formulations of the pesticide rotenone can be mixed with water.
Usually, however, rotenone is available as a dust. It is considered a botanical insecticide. Specifically, it is made from plant body parts. It therefore may be used as an organic control of insects such as aphids, Colorado potato beetles, flea beetles, Mexican bean beetles, and weevils.
But rotenone is a controversial choice as an organic insecticide. It may be used with only slight possible consequences to bee populations. But it also is considered quite potent and in fact competitive with non-organic controls in terms of negative environmental impact.

Rotenone kills by inhibiting mitochondrial respiration in cells. It specifically targets Complex I (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase) in the electron transport chain, disrupting ATP production and leading to cellular energy failure. This results in the accumulation of reactive oxygen species and ultimately triggers apoptosis or cell death. Rotenone is often used as a pesticide and has also been studied for its effects in research related to Parkinson's disease due to its neurotoxic properties.
Is the pesticide rotenone available as a dust?
