What is Permethrin?

Permethrin is a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide designed to mimic the natural bug-repelling properties of chrysanthemum flowers. Functioning as a potent neurotoxin for arthropods, it works by disrupting the nervous systems of insects and mites, causing paralysis and death upon contact or ingestion. In medicine, it is a staple topical treatment, often available as a cream or lotion, used to eliminate parasites like head lice and scabies. For environmental and agricultural applications, permethrin is a broad-spectrum insecticide used in mosquito control programs, crop protection, and as a treatment applied directly to clothing and gear to repel ticks and mosquitoes.
