How does it work?

Synthetic pyrethroids are man-made insecticides created to mimic the chemical properties of the naturally-occurring insecticide pyrethrum, which comes from the crushed petals of the chrysanthemum flower. Synthetic pyrethroids, like cypermethrin, are often preferred to the real thing as active ingredients because they offer the added bonus of remaining effective for longer periods of time.

Cypermethrin begins working immediately upon contact or ingestion, leading to insect knock-down and death. Cypermethrin kills by acting as a high-power poison to the central nervous system. Once poisoned, the insect's nerve cells become excited, causing paralysis and preventing normal feeding and grooming activities. Absence of these activities leads to the insect's eventual or immediate death.
