Cyfluthrin is a pyrethroid insecticide and common household pesticide. It is a complex organic compound and the commercial product is sold as a mixture of isomers . Like most pyrethroids (MoA 3a), [ 1 ] it is highly toxic to fish and invertebrates , but it is far less toxic to humans. [ 2 ]
Over the subsequent decades these derivatives were followed with other proprietary compounds such as fenvalerate, lambda-cyhalothrin and beta-cyfluthrin. Most patents have now expired, making these compounds cheap and therefore popular (although permethrin and fenvalerate have not been re-registered under the 91/414/EEC process).
The chronic reference dose (RfD) for bifenthrin is 0.013 mg/kg bodyweight/day. [4] Bifenthrin was included in a biocide ban proposed by the Swedish Chemicals Agency, because of its carcinogenic effect. [18] This was approved by the European Parliament in 2009. [19] Pesticides containing bifenthrin were withdrawn from use in the European Union. [20]

Allethrin I (R = −CH 3) Allethrin II (R = −COOCH 3) The allethrins are a group of related synthetic compounds used in insecticides. They are classified as pyrethroids, i.e. synthetic versions of pyrethrin, a chemical with insecticidal properties found naturally in Chrysanthemum flowers. They were first synthesized in the United States by ...
Since then, many BPUs were commercialised by many companies. BPUs accounted for 3% of the $18.4 billion world insecticide market in 2018. [4] They are active against types of insect pests, (e.g. lepidoptera coleoptera, diptera) in agriculture, [7] [1] as well as being used against termites and animal health pests such as fleas. [8]

It has also been found useful for protecting other crops. [4] It is also used as a prevention for flea control on household pets, for killing indoor and outdoor ants and ...
Relvène (1967 French version), Venoruton (1962 Swiss version), and Paroven are mixtures of hydroxyethyl rutinosides. Hydroxyethylrutosides are used in the treatment of chronic venous insufficiency [2] and hypertensive microangiopathy. [3] Oxerutins work by reducing leakage from the small blood vessels (capillaries). [4]
