Permethrin insecticide is used for fogging and barrier spraying to control adult mosquitoes. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), “Pyrethroids [permethrin is a type of pyrethroid] can be used for public health mosquito control programs without posing unreasonable risks to human health when applied according to the label. Pyrethroids are considered to pose slight risks of acute toxicity to humans, but at high doses, pyrethroids can affect the nervous system.” (Source: http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/health/mosquitoes/pyrethroids4mosquitoes.htm) For additional questions and answers please visit: http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dvbid/westnile/q&a.
