Insecticides typically consist of chemically active substances, solvents, and adjuvants. Specific components vary depending on the intended use and the target pest. Common insecticide components include organophosphates (such as dichlorvos and dimethoate), pyrethroids (such as cypermethrin and deltamethrin), carbamates (such as carbofuran), and neonicotinoids (such as imidacloprid). These components kill pests through different mechanisms of action (such as neurotoxicity and respiratory inhibition). In addition, insecticides may contain synergists, stabilizers, and emulsifiers to improve efficacy and stability. Safety precautions must be taken when using insecticides to avoid harm to humans and the environment.
