Introduction:
Cypermethrin is a synthetic pyrethroid primarily used to control a broad spectrum of pests, particularly Lepidoptera. It functions as a fast-acting neurotoxin in insects, acting both as a stomach and contact insecticide. Cypermethrin is non-systemic, working through contact and ingestion, and its mode of action is as a sodium channel modulator.
