Cypermethrin

Type: Insecticide

Mode of Action: Disruption of the nervous system / Disrupts sodium channels

Common Product Names: Cyper TC

What is it?

Cypermethrin is a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide that offers a potent solution against a wide array of insect pests. It is available in various formulations, including emulsifiable concentrates, wettable powders, and ready-to-use sprays. Due to its broad-spectrum activity, cypermethrin is a preferred choice for controlling pests in crops such as cotton, vegetables, and fruits, as well as for use in residential areas to manage common household pests like ants, cockroaches, and spiders. Cypermethrin is known for its quick knockdown effect, which means that pests are rapidly immobilized upon contact with the substance. This quick action makes it an ideal choice for situations requiring immediate pest control. Depending on the formulation and application method, cypermethrin can provide residual control for several weeks, offering long-term protection against re-infestation.

How does it work?

When insects come into contact with cypermethrin, it quickly penetrates their exoskeleton and targets their nervous system. The disruption of nerve impulses caused by cypermethrin leads to hyperactivity, followed by paralysis and death. The speed at which cypermethrin acts varies depending on the insect species and the environment, but visible results are often observed within minutes to hours after application. The residual effect of cypermethrin can last for weeks, providing extended protection against pest populations.
