Powder is a popular form of insecticide used by pest control service providers. It is primarily used in the control of common pests such as ants, beetles, and cockroaches. The active ingredient differs based on the pests against which it is used. Common active ingredients such as cypermethrin and hydramethylnon are used in powder formulations. Powder formulations, even though effective, are also heavily regulated; for instance, hydramethylnon is classified by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a potential carcinogen despite its minimal risk to humans; however, strict guidelines are to be followed by service providers to minimize the risk to humans and the surrounding environment. Powder formulations can be deployed for use in residential, commercial, and other settings, including transport facilities, to reduce or eliminate pest infestations.
