Lambda-Cyhalothrin
Lambda cyhalothrin, an insecticide, belongs to the pyrethroid chemical class of insecticides. Because of its close similarities to cyhalothrin, studies are sometimes conducted with cyhalothrin to evaluate the effects of lambda cyhalothrin. It forms strong bonds with soil and is mostly insoluble in water, so it is an unlikely water contaminant.
Lambda cyhalothrin targets a wide range of insects including aphids, Colorado beetles, and butterfly larvae. It is also used to control insects identified as potential disease vectors, such as cockroaches, mosquitoes, ticks, and flies.
In commercial applications, lambda cyhalothrin is used on food crops, non-food crops, in greenhouses, in and around hospitals, for cattle (in ear tags), and in termite treatments. Residential use can be both indoors and outdoors on homes, ornamental plants, and lawns.
