Bromomethane

Bromomethane is a manufactured chemical. It also occurs naturally in small amounts in the ocean where it is formed, by algae and kelp.It is a precursor in the manufacture of other chemicals as a methylating agent, and has been used as a solvent to extract oil from seeds and wool,pesticide,soil sterilant.

Chlorbenside

Chlorbenside is a pesticide. It is most commonly used as an acaricide being used to kill mites and ticks.

Chlorfenapyr

Chlorfenapyr is a pesticide, and specifically a pro-insecticide, derived from a class of microbially produced compounds known as halogenated pyrroles. The United States Environmental Protection Agency initially denied registration in 2000 for use on cotton primarily because of concerns that the insecticide was toxic to birds and because effective alternatives were available. However, it was registered by EPA in January, 2001 for use on non-food crops in greenhouses. In 2005, EPA established a tolerance for residues of chlorfenapyr in or on all food commodities. Chlorfenapyr works by disrupting the production of adenosine triphosphate.

Chlorpyrifos

Chlorpyrifos is a crystalline organophosphate insecticide that inhibits acetylcholinesterase and is used to control insect pests. It is moderately toxic and chronic exposure has been linked to neurological effects, developmental disorders, and autoimmune disorders.

Deltamethrin

Deltamethrin is a pyrethroid ester insecticide. There are many uses for deltamethrin, ranging from agricultural uses to home pest control. It has been instrumental in preventing the spread of diseases carried by tick-infested prairie dogs, rodents and other burrowing animals. It is helpful in eliminating and preventing a wide variety of household pests, especially spiders, fleas, ticks, carpenter ants, carpenter bees, cockroaches and bedbugs. It is also one of the primary ingredients in ant chalk.

Fenitrothion

Fenitrothion is used as a fly, mosquito, and cockroach residual contact spray for farms and public health programs. Fenitrothion is also effective against household insects and all of the nuisance insects listed by the World Health Organization. Its effectiveness as a vector control agent for Malaria. Fenitrothion is non-systemic, and non-persistent.

Ivermectin

Nitromethane

Nitromethane is an organic compound. It is a slightly viscous, highly polar liquid commonly used as a solvent in a variety of industrial applications such as in extractions, as a reaction medium, and as a cleaning solvent. As an intermediate in organic synthesis, it is used widely in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, pesticides, fibers, and coatings. It is also used as a racing fuel in Top Fuel drag racing, and as an important component in the fuel for the miniature internal combustion engines used, for example, in radio-controlled models.

Nonyl Phenol

Nonylphenol is a family of organic compounds, a subset of the alkylphenols. It is a useful precursor to certain detergents. These compounds are classified as a xenobiotic and are controversial pollutants. Alkylphenols are subjected to ethoxylation to give alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEs), which are widely used as industrial surfactants. They are used in the processing of wool and metals, as emulsifiers for emulsion polymerization, as laboratory detergents, and as pesticides.

Sodium Azide

Sodium azide is an inorganic compound. This colourless azide salt is the gas-forming component in many car airbag systems. It is used for the preparation of other azide compounds. In the laboratory, it is used in organic synthesis to introduce the azide functional group by displacement of halides. Sodium azide is a useful probe reagent, mutagen, and preservative. In hospitals and laboratories, it is a biocide; it is especially important in bulk reagents and stock solutions which may otherwise support bacterial growth where the sodium azide acts as a bacteriostatic by inhibiting cytochrome oxidase in gram-negative bacteria; gram-positive are resistant, a characteristic similar to antibiotic resistance. It is also used in agriculture for pest control.
