Cyfluthrin is in a group of man-made insecticides called pyrethroids. It is used in homes, outdoors, and in agriculture to control insects like ants, cockroaches, termites, fleas, mosquitoes and flies.
Products containing cyfluthrin may be a solid, granule, powder, total release fogger, or liquid. There are over 150 products with cyfluthrin that are used in agriculture, inside homes, in the yard, and to protect wood from insects. Some products may be used in agricultural aerial applications and as cattle ear tags.
Cyfluthrin acts as a stomach poison and through contact with the insect. By attacking the nerves, cyfluthrin causes constant muscle spasms. Eventually, the insect is paralyzed or starves. It is less toxic to people and mammals because they break it down faster than insects.
