Pyrethroids are chemical compounds that are safe for humans but toxic to insects; as a result, they are employed as home insecticides.

A pyrethrin is an organic chemical that is similar to the other well-known pyrethrins generated by plants in the pyrethroid family. Many pyrethrids are used as insecticides in both residential and commercial settings. Cockroaches, ants, and other social insects like wasps and butterflies are also controlled using them. It is unknown if they are chemically manufactured or taken from a natural source, as is the case with many insects of theroponomically similar families.

Pyrethroids are widely used by pest control professionals to reduce the population of certain pests and animals in residential and commercial environments. While they are commonly used to control other insects, they may also be used to control mosquitoes, as previously indicated. It's worth noting that there are certain limits on the use of pyrethroids in the United Kingdom, particularly when it comes to pesticide application in residential areas. This is owing to worries about the chemical contained in these insects' possible harmful consequences.

The chrysanthemum blooms that grow in conjunction with pyrethroids are one source of this chemical. Chrysanthemums have a strong scent and are used in a variety of perfumes. The resin from these flowers has been used as an irritant for insect bites and irritation in rare situations. While chrysanthemum flowers are typically harmless when consumed in their natural condition, the resins contained inside them are thought to produce a variety of negative effects. Local skin irritation is the most commonly reported response, which, although not hazardous, can be annoying if it persists.
