Pyrethroids are generally considered to be less toxic than other synthetic pesticides, and are often used in organic farming. Pyrethroids are used in a variety of agricultural applications, including crop protection, animal health, and public health. They are also used in non-agricultural settings, such as in homes and businesses, to control pests.
