B-Cyfluthrin

Type: Insecticide

Mode of Action: Disruption of Nervous System / Sodium Channel 

Common Product Names: Tempo & Temprid

What is it?

B-Cyfluthrin is a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide. Pyrethroids are modeled after pyrethrins, natural insecticides derived from chrysanthemum flowers. This insecticide functions primarily as a contact insecticide, with some stomach poison action. It is non-selective, targeting a broad range of insect pests B-Cyfluthrin is known for its potent insecticidal properties and its ability to provide long-lasting protection against a variety of insect pests. Beta-Cyfluthrin is used in various areas, including agriculture, turf management, and residential pest control. It is typically applied at a low use rate due to its high potency.

How does it work?

B-Cyfluthrin acts by disrupting the normal function of the insect's nervous system. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how it works:

  • Contact and Ingestion: Insects come into contact with or ingest B-Cyfluthrin.
  • Nervous System Disruption: B-Cyfluthrin interferes with sodium channels in the insect's nerve cells, preventing normal nerve signal transmission.
  • Paralysis: The disruption of nerve signals leads to paralysis, as the insect's muscles cannot contract properly.
  • Death: Continued paralysis and disruption of bodily functions eventually result in the insect's death.

Results from B-Cyfluthrin application can often be seen within hours, with significant pest reduction occurring within 24-48 hours.
