Cyfluthrin

Overview:

Cyfluthrin and Beta-Cyfluthrin are synthetic pyrethroid insecticide active ingredients used in many professional grade pest control products.  These active ingredients control a wide variety of insects including ants, roaches, spiders, fleas, ticks, flies, mosquitoes, and other listed insects depending on the product label. 

Cyfluthrins belong to a class of insecticides known as synthetic pyrethroids —which means that it is effective for longer periods of time. Synthetic pyrethroids are man-made insecticides created to mimic the chemical properties of the naturally-occurring insecticide pyrethrum, which comes from the crushed petals of the Chrysanthemum flower. Synthetic pyrethroids, like cyfluthrin, are often preferred to the real thing as an active ingredient because they offer the added bonus of remaining effective for longer periods of time, sometimes up to 3 months. Beta-cyfluthrin is a refined form of cyfluthrin that contains more insecticide active isomers. It can be used at lower percentages because it has more activity.

Cyfluthrin Dual-Action: Begins working on contact or ingestion for faster kill.  Cyfluthrin begins working immediately upon contact or ingestion, leading to insect knock-down and death. Cyfluthrin kills by acting as a high-power poison to the central nervous system. Once poisoned, the insect’s nerve cells become excited, causing paralysis and preventing normal feeding and grooming activities. Absence of these activities leads to the insect’s eventual or immediate death.Cyfluthrin Formulations
