The oral ld50 value for cypermethrin is 247 mgkg compared to 5000 mgkg for hexaflumuron therefore what is the more toxic of these two pesticide?

Cypermethrin, assuming the LD50s for the two chemicals are for the same period of time. LD50 is the lethal concentration where half of the individuals die in a given time period. Higher numbers mean that is takes more of the chemical to kill organisms, whereas lower numbers mean it takes less of the chemical to kill organisms. LD50s depend on what animal was used in the experiment.


Who invented permethrin and other synthetic pyrethroids.?

There are two types of synthetic pyrethroids 1) light unstable and 2) light stable synthetics. The first class, of which bioresmethrin or phenothrin are examples, were discovered in different laboratories around the world. These fast acting agents are primary used for specialty purposes in non-agricultural markets like public health, animal health and consumer. The preparation of a the first slight unstable synthetic pyrethroid, bioresmethrin, is attributed to Dr. Michael Elliott at the UK Agricultural Laboratory at Rothamstead England in 1967. The second class of which permethrin cypermethrin and deltamethrin are examples were also discovered by Dr. Elliott in the early 1970's. These halogenated derivatives proved to be light stable. Licenses for commercial use of these discoveries were made to several chemical companies who developed them for both agricultural and specialty uses.

Are slugs bad for pill bugs?

Yes, slug pesticide can kill pillbugs. Scientists classify pillbugs as crustaceans and invertebrates and slugs as shell-less terrestrial gastropod molluscs. The two arthropod types in question do not always respond to one and the same pesticide, but they will when the active ingredients are beta-cyfluthrin, bifenthrin, carbaryl, cyfluthrin, cypermethrin, deltamethrin, esfenvalerate, gamma cyhalothrin, lambda- cyhalothrin, or permethrin.


Is cypermethrin a systemic insecticide?

Yes, cypermethrin is a systemic insecticide.Specifically, a systemic insecticide controls insects by disrupting the pests' life-sustaining processes and structures. In the case of cypermethrin, it is a case of attacking the central nervous system. The results will include paralysis or uncoordinated movements which ultimately lead to death.
