Prallethrin
Type: Insecticide
Mode of Action: Disruption of Nervous System
Common Product Names: Onslaught, Wasp Freeze, Pivot
What is it?
Prallethrin is a powerful insecticide known for its rapid action against flying and crawling insects such as mosquitoes, flies, cockroaches, and ants. It is often used in aerosol sprays, electric vaporizers, and mosquito coils. This chemical is highly effective even at low concentrations, making it a popular choice for both household and industrial pest control.
How does it work?
Prallethrin works by targeting the nervous system of insects. When insects come into contact with Prallethrin, it binds to the sodium channels in their nerve cells, causing these channels to remain open longer than usual. This leads to an abnormal influx of sodium ions, resulting in hyperexcitation of the nerves, paralysis, and eventually, death.
