Chemical Action and Usages: Synthetic pyrethroid (active ingredient permethrin) insecticide that is available in a number of different formulations. Chemically resembles the naturally occurring botanical pyrethrins found in certain chrysanthemums, except pyrethroids such as permethrin are more toxic to pest than the pyrethrins and have a longer residual persistence (up to 4 weeks after application, depending on formulation used).

It is also used around the home on lawns and as a perimeter spray to control ants, ticks, fleas and other nuisance pests. Paralyzes insect nervous systems. Use as a foliar treatment on a wide range of ornamentals, trees, shrubs,
