Used primarily as an insecticide, it effectively controls pests in agricultural settings, particularly targeting sucking insects like aphids, whiteflies, and thrips. It is applied to crops such as vegetables, fruits, and ornamental plants to protect them from infestations. Its systemic action allows it to be absorbed by plants, providing long-lasting protection. Additionally, it is used in veterinary medicine to treat flea infestations in pets, offering quick relief by paralyzing and killing the parasites upon contact. Its fast-acting nature makes it a preferred choice for both agricultural and veterinary applications.
