Metofluthrin is a pyrethroid used as an insect repellent. [1] The vapors of metofluthrin are highly effective and capable of repelling up to 97% of mosquitoes in field tests. [2] Metofluthrin is used in a variety of consumer products, called emanators, for indoor and outdoor use. [3] [4] These products produce a vapor that protects an individual or area. Effectiveness is reduced by air movement. Metofluthrin is neurotoxic, and is not meant to be applied directly to human skin. [5]

Contents

Although metofluthrin has insecticidal properties against the sand fly, Phlebotomus sergenti, it is not an effective repellent of this insect. [6]
