An insecticidal composition containing more than one active ingredients which comprises as active ingredient in an amount of 0.001-99% by weight a synthetic pyrethroide of general Formula (I), (wherein X stands for chlorine or bromine) - namely out of the eight possible isomers at least 95% of a 55:45 - 25:75 mixture of the enantiomer-pairs Ia:Ib, wherein Ia is 1RcisS + 1ScisR and Ib is 1RtransS + 1StransR - if desired, in admixture with an activator and/or with an amount of up to 100% of an auxiliary agent, preferably an antioxidant, stabilizer, wetting agent, emulsifiying agent, dispersing agent, antifoam agent, diluent, carrier, and/or filler. The advantage of the insecticidal composition of the present invention is that it is less toxical towards warm-blooded animals and useful parasites and is therefore much less harmful to the environment. |
