Relative Toxicity to Insects of Natural Pyrethrins and Synthetic Allyl Analog of Cinerin I

Abstract

The allyl cinerin, compared with natural pyrethrins against a variety of insects in several different formulations, was found to be as toxic as pyrethrins to houseflies and about 1/3-1/2 as toxic to cockroaches and a number of field insects. Allyl cinerin might be used in combination with certain synergists to replace natural pyrethrins in control work on cockroaches and certain field insects.
