Bifenthrin
Bifenthrin is a pyrethroid insecticide used to control a range of pests. It has a low aqueous solubility and is volatile. There is a low risk of groundwater contamination based on its chemical properties and it is not persistent in soil. There are some concerns about bioaccumulation and the pesticide shows a high oral toxicity to mammals as well as being an endocrine distupter and a neurotoxicant. It is toxic to birds, most aquatic organisms, honeybees and earthworms.
Description: A pyrethroid acaricide/insecticide for use in a wide range of crops to control sucking and biting foliar pests
Example pests controlled: Fire ants; Blue grass weevil; Armyworms; Cutworms; centipedes; Crickets; earwigs; Millipedes; Sowbugs; Mole crickets; Ticks; Fleas; Grasshoppers
Example applications: Non-cropped situations including lawns, athletic fields, ornamentals, residences and commercial buildings
