Ticks are parasitic bloodsuckers, capable of spreading deadly disease, and they are becoming increasingly common. Here’s what you need to know about them.
There are multiple ways to approach the issue of how to prevent tick infestation. For many years, the main way in which humans thought to control tick infestation was by the use of pesticides against ticks, called acaricides. [10] This has been especially important in the context of ticks that infested cattle. [10]
A pyrethroid is an organic compound similar to the natural pyrethrins, which are produced by the flowers of pyrethrums (Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium and C. coccineum). Pyrethroids are used as commercial and household insecticides. [1] In household concentrations pyrethroids are generally harmless to humans. [1]
The use of pyrethrin in products such as natural insecticides and pet shampoo, for its ability to kill fleas, increases the likelihood of toxicity in mammals that are exposed. Medical cases have emerged showing fatalities from the use of pyrethrin, prompting many organic farmers to cease use.
