Bifenthrin interferes with the nervous system of insects when they eat or touch it. Its more toxic to insects than it is to people because insects have lower body temperatures and smaller body size.


How might I be exposed to bifenthrin?
You could be exposed to bifenthrin if you touch it eat it or breathe it in. You may be exposed if you breathe in the spray mist during an application or eat some of it if you smoked or ate without washing your hands after you applied a product.

What are some signs and symptoms from a brief exposure to bifenthrin?
When bifenthrin gets on the skin it can cause tingling itching burning or numbness at the site of contact. The sensations usually go away within 48 hours. Inhaling bifenthrin can irritate the nose throat and lungs. People who ate large amounts of bifenthrin experienced sore throat nausea abdominal pain and vomiting almost immediately.

Exposed pets may experience single-episode vomiting or diarrhea reduced activity twitching of the ear paw flicking and increased drooling. Other signs can include hyperactivity followed by incoordination with diarrhea depression and dilated pupils. Some veterinarians have reported additional signs such as chewing head bobbing partial paralysis and tremors.

What happens to bifenthrin when it enters the body?

Is bifenthrin likely to contribute to the development of cancer?
The U.S. EPA classifies bifenthrin as a possible human carcinogen. This rating was based on studies in mice. Other studies indicate that bifenthrin does not cause cancer when fed to rats.

Has anyone studied non-cancer effects from long-term exposure to bifenthrin?
Yes studies have been done using laboratory animals. Bifenthrin did not cause birth defects in rats or rabbits that ate bifenthrin when pregnant. In long-term studies rats and rabbits had tremors at high doses.


Are children more sensitive to bifenthrin than adults?
While children may be especially sensitive to pesticides compared to adults there are currently no data showing that children have increased sensitivity specifically to bifenthrin.

What happens to bifenthrin in the environment?
Bifenthrin is not likely to reach groundwater because it binds tightly to soil. However soil-bound bifenthrin has the potential to contaminate surface waters through runoff. Bifenthrin on soil surfaces is unlikely to become airborne.


Can bifenthrin affect birds fish or other wildlife?
Bifenthrin is low in toxicity to birds. There are potential risks for birds and mammals that eat aquatic organisms because bifenthrin can last a long time in the environment and it may accumulate in fish.

Bifenthrin is highly toxic to fish and small aquatic organisms. Its also very highly toxic to bees.
