"Cyhalothrin is a pyrethroid insecticide, highly active against a wide range of species of Lepidoptera, Hemiptera, Diptera, and Coleoptera. It also has some miticidal activity. Lambda-cyhalothrin has the same spectrum of insecticidal activity as cyhalothrin, but is more active. The compound is a stomach and contact insecticide. It shows adulticidal, ovicidal and, particularly, larvicidal activity. Apart from agricultural uses, cyhalothrin also has public and animal health applications in which it effectively controls a broad spectrum of insects including cockroaches, flies, mosquitos, and ticks. It is active as a residual spray on inert surfaces."
