  • Applications

    Deltamethrin (CAS 52918-63-5) is a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide used in agriculture for crop protection, including foliar sprays and seed/soil treatments to manage lepidopteran and other pests on fruits, vegetables, and grains; it is also formulated into consumer and professional pest-control products for indoor and perimeter use, such as aerosols, sprays, and dusts targeting cockroaches, ants, and flies. In public health, it is employed in vector-control applications, including residual spraying and insecticide-treated nets to reduce mosquito populations. In veterinary contexts, deltamethrin appears in ectoparasite-control products for companion animals. Additionally, it is used in structural pest management and wood-protection programs, including termite control and treated-wood systems.
