Permethrin insecticide molecule
Permethrin. Molecular model of the insecticide permethrin. This is a broad-spectrum insecticide with a number of uses. In agriculture it is used to kill pests of nut, fruit, cereal and cotton crops as well as to treat poultry parasites. It is widely used to treat woodworm and domestic pests including ants and cockroaches. It is also used as a treatment for head lice and scabies. Atoms are represented as spheres and are colour-coded: carbon (yellow), hydrogen (white), oxygen (red) and chlorine (green)
