Usage

General Description

1-(2-phenylethyl)-3-pyrazin-2-ylthiourea, also known as PETT, is a chemical compound that is commonly used as a molluscicide, particularly in the control of snails and slugs in agriculture. It is a white crystalline solid with a molecular formula of C14H16N4S and a molecular weight of 268.37 g/mol. PETT works by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase in the nervous system of the mollusks, leading to paralysis and eventual death. It is considered to be an effective and relatively safe chemical for controlling mollusc pests, and is often used in combination with other pesticides for even greater efficacy. However, as with any chemical, care should be taken in its handling and application to minimize potential environmental and health risks.
