Used primarily as an insecticide in agriculture to protect crops such as rice, vegetables, and fruits from pests including aphids, thrips, whiteflies, and other sap-sucking insects. Applied to soil, seeds, or foliage, it effectively controls infestations by disrupting the nervous system of insects, causing paralysis and death. Its systemic nature allows it to be absorbed by plants, providing long-lasting protection and increasing yields while reducing damage. Also utilized in veterinary medicine to combat fleas and ticks on pets. In urban settings, it helps manage termite populations in buildings. However, its use is regulated in some regions due to environmental concerns, particularly its impact on pollinators like bees.
