Used as a synergist in insecticide formulations to enhance the effectiveness of active ingredients like pyrethroids and pyrethrins. It works by inhibiting the detoxification enzymes in insects, making the pesticide more potent. Commonly found in products targeting household pests such as ants, cockroaches, flies, and mosquitoes. Also used in pet shampoos and sprays for flea and tick control. Its role is purely synergistic, meaning it has little insecticidal activity on its own but significantly boosts the performance of other chemicals.
