Bifenthrin is poorly soluble in water and often remains in soil. Its residual half-life in soil is between 7 days and 8 months, depending on the soil type, with a low mobility in most soil types. Bifenthrin has the longest known residual time in soil of insecticides currently on the market. It is a white, waxy solid with a faint sweet smell.
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.
Pyrethroid absorption can happen via skin, inhalation or ingestion. [11] Pyrethroids often do not bind efficiently to mammalian sodium channels. [12] They also absorb poorly via skin and human liver is often able to metabolize them relatively efficiently. Pyrethroids are thus much less toxic to humans than to insects. [13]

Whereas pyrethrin I is a derivative of (+)-trans-chrysanthemic acid, in pyrethrin II one methyl group is oxidized to a carboxymethyl group, the resulting core being called pyrethric acid.

This is a list of insecticides.These are chemical compounds which have been registered as insecticides.The names on the list are the ISO common name for the active ingredient which is formulated into the branded product sold to end-users. [1]
Raid derivatives aimed at particular invertebrate species can contain other active agents such as the more toxic cyfluthrin which is also a pyrethroid. [2] As of 2019 Raid Ant & Roach Killer contains pyrethroids, imiprothrin , and cypermethrin ; [ 3 ] other products contain tetramethrin and prallethrin as active ingredients. [ 4 ]
