Used as an acaricide and insecticide in agriculture to control mites and certain insect pests on crops such as fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants. It is effective against spider mites, rust mites, and other phytophagous mites that damage plant foliage and reduce yields. Commonly applied through foliar sprays, it provides both contact and translaminar activity, offering quick knockdown and longer residual control. Often used in integrated pest management (IPM) programs due to its selectivity and effectiveness at low application rates. Not typically used in household or indoor settings due to its agricultural focus and environmental persistence.
