Deltamethrin

Type: Insecticide

Mode of Action: Disrupts the nervous system / Disrupts Sodium Channels

Common Product Names: D-Fense & Delta Dust

What is it?

Deltamethrin is a synthetic pyrethroid, modeled after the natural insecticidal compounds found in chrysanthemum flowers. It is a highly effective and versatile insecticide that can be applied in many forms, including as a spray, dust, or solution. Its effectiveness against a wide range of insects, including beetles, flies, and moths, makes it a go-to option for both professionals and homeowners. The results of Deltamethrin application are often quick, with visible effects on insect pests within minutes to a few hours. As a residual insecticide, Deltamethrin continues to provide protection for several weeks after application, depending on environmental conditions and surface types.

How does it work?

Deltamethrin works by attacking the nervous system of insects. Upon exposure, insects experience hyperactivity due to uncontrolled nerve firing, leading to paralysis and death. Deltamethrin is a contact and stomach poison, meaning insects must either come into direct contact with it or ingest it for it to be effective.

Benefits

  • Residual activity: Continues to protect treated areas for several weeks, reducing the need for frequent reapplication.
  • Rapid knockdown: Provides quick results, often within minutes, making it ideal for urgent pest control needs.
  • Stability in sunlight: Deltamethrin is photostable, meaning it does not break down quickly in sunlight, which enhances its effectiveness outdoors.
