Cypermethrin is a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide used for both crop protection and to control ectoparasites on

Cypermethrin is a contact poison, having a rapid paralytic action on insects, preceded by muscular excitation and

Cypermethrin is not systemically active when used as a “pour-on” preparation. When applied in this manner, the
product spreads over the surface of the animal.
