workings
Permethrin 5% is a type of insecticide that works by disrupting the nervous system of insects. When an insect comes into contact with permethrin, it quickly penetrates the cuticle (the outer layer of the insect's body) and enters the insect's bloodstream. The insecticide then acts on the nerve cell membranes, causing them to become depolarized. This leads to the overstimulation of the nerves, resulting in paralysis and death of the insect. Permethrin is most effective against pests like mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, and other biting insects. It can be applied topically, as a spray, or used in a variety of other forms, depending on the intended use and the target pest.
