DDT was the first of the chlorinated insecticides, it was originally prepared in 1873. The use of DDT increased enormously after WW II because of its effectivenessagainst mosquitoes and lice. DDT and it’s main metabolite DDE, have been found to be toxic to animals, cause birth defects and it’s known to be an endocrine disruptor (EDC). The use of DDT has been banned in the US since 1973, although it’s still used in other parts of the world.
DDT (from its trivial name, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) is one of the most well-known synthetic pesticides. It is a chemical with a long, unique, and controversial history.First synthesized in 1874, DDT's insecticidal properties were not discovered until 1939, and it was used with great success in the second half of World War II to control malaria and typhus among civilians and troops. The Swiss chemist Paul Hermann Müller was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1948 "for his discovery of the high efficiency of DDT as a contact poison against several arthropods."[2] After the war, DDT was used as an agricultural insecticide, and soon its production and use skyrocketed.
Abamectin is amixture of avermectins containing about 80% avermectin B1a and 20% avermectin B1b. Abamectin is a natural fermentation product of this bacterium. Abamectin is a widely used insecticide and anthelmintic. It is used to control insect and mite pests of a range of agronomic, fruit, vegetable and ornamental crops, and it is used by homeowners for control of fire ants. Abamectin attacks the nerve system of insects and mites, causing paralysis within hours.
Allethrin is a synthetic duplicate of a component of pyrethrum and central nervous system stimulant. Allethrin is a nonsystemic insecticide that is used almost exclusively in homes and gardens for control of flies and mosquitoes, and in combination with other pesticides to control flying or crawling insects.Allethrin is a pyrethroid, a synthetic compound that duplicates the activity of the pyrethrin plant. It has stomach and respiratory action and paralyzes insects before killing them.
Ambush EC is used for the control of certain insect pests on crops.
Anabasine is a pyridine alkaloid found in the tree Tobacco. It is similar to nicotine. Its principal (historical) industrial use is as an insecticide. Anabasine is a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonist. In high doses, it produces a depolarizing block of nerve transmission. It is present in trace amounts in tobacco smoke, and can be used as an indicator of a person's exposure to tobacco smoke.

CYPERBASE is formulated as a concentrated emulsion in water (EW). This type of formulation is obtained by using a very small amount of emulsifiers and no solvents. Moreover, the emulsifiers have been selected among those classified as “non dangerous”. CYPERBASE, therefore, secures insecticidal efficacy combined with reduced release of chemical substances in the environment, apart from the active ingredients and piperonyl butoxide. CYPERBASE is a combination of a knock-down pyrethroid and a long residual one, at a high concentration.
Chlordane, or chlordan, is an organochlorine compound that was used as a pesticide. This white solid was sold in the U.S. until 1983 as an insecticide for crops like corn and citrus and on lawns and domestic gardens. [2]
Coumaphos is a phosphorothioate with ectoparasiticide properties: it kills insects and mites. It is also used to control varroa mites in honey bee colonies, though in many areas it is falling out of favor as the varroa develop resistance and as the residual toxicity effects are becoming better understood.
