Synthetic Pyrethroids
These modern synthetic insecticides are chemically similar to natural pyre-
thrins, but modified to increase stability in the natural environment. They are
now widely used in agriculture, in homes and gardens, and for treatment of
ectoparasitic disease.
Figure 5.6
shows several different products containing
various synthetic pyrethroids.
The following table list includes the names of several pyrethroids that are
not currently in commercial production. These are included because they may
