Usage

Uses

Used in Pest Control:
Dimefluthrin is used as an insecticide for controlling various pests such as mosquitoes, flies, cockroaches, and whiteflies. It is particularly effective against cloth-damaging Lepidoptera (moths) and Coleoptera (beetles) in indoor situations.
Used in Indoor Insect Control:
Dimefluthrin is utilized in the control of insects in indoor environments, including non-food use areas such as residences, homes, non-food areas of restaurants, schools, warehouses, and hotels. Its broad-spectrum action and multiple modes of action make it a valuable tool in maintaining a pest-free living and working environment.
