What is Allethrin ?
Allethrin is a non-systemic insecticide used in homes and gardens for control of flies and mosquitoes, and in combination with other pesticides to control flying or crawling insects. Another structural form, which is more toxic to insects, is used to control parasites living within animal systems.
Allethrin is available as mosquito coils, mats, oil formulations, and as aerosol spray. It has stomach and respiratory action and paralyzes insects before killing them.
