Permethrin and cypermethrin are both synthetic pyrethroids used as insecticides, but they have different properties and applications. Permethrin is often preferred for treating clothing and for use in public health due to its effectiveness against a wide range of insects and its lower toxicity to humans and pets. Cypermethrin, on the other hand, is commonly used in agricultural settings and may have a broader spectrum of activity against certain pests. The choice between the two depends on the specific application and target pests.
What else can I help you with?
Is cypermethrin the same as permethrin?
No, cypermethrin and permethrin are different synthetic pyrethroid insecticides. While they have similar uses in controlling pests, they have different chemical structures and properties. It is important to consult the specific usage guidelines for each one when applying them.
What is the difference between alpha cypermethrin and technical cypermethrin?
Both very effective bee killers. Half life below surface approximately 200 days. No known effective disposal or decontamination method. The MSDS says 'dispose of in a safe manner'.
Is cypermethrin a carbamate?
No it is a pyrethroid
Is there a risk of mixing DEET with pesticides containing Permetherin?
Permethrin is a suspected human carcinogen. DEET is an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. It's considered safe enough to use on human skin (in low concentrations). A mixture of a permethrin-based insecticide and a DEET based one shouldn't be any worse than the permethrin one alone. We'd have to know more about what kind of risk you're talking about to give you a better answer than that.
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.

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.

Which bug sprays have permethrin?
Permethrin is commonly found in various bug sprays designed for repelling and killing insects, particularly ticks and mosquitoes. Popular brands that often contain permethrin include Sawyer Products Permethrin Spray, Repel Permethrin Clothing and Gear Treatment, and Coleman Permethrin Insect Repellent. It's important to read product labels to ensure permethrin is included, as formulations can vary. Always follow application instructions for safety and effectiveness.
Is 0.5 permethrin toxic to cats?
Yes, 0.5 permethrin is toxic to cats. It is important to avoid using products containing permethrin on cats as it can be harmful to their health.
Is permethrin toxic to cats when dry?
Yes, permethrin is toxic to cats when dry. It is important to keep cats away from permethrin-treated surfaces to prevent poisoning.
Is Cypermethrin good to kill ticks?
Yes it is, kills them in a matter of seconds.
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.
