Permethrin and tetramethrin are non natural, non organic controls of pest populations. They share membership in the same chemical control group, the pyrethroids. They control insect populations by attacking each individual insect's nervous system. They're particularly effective against such stubborn pests as cockroaches and mosquitoes.
But there are differences between the two. Permethrin is considered to be of low toxicity to mammals. It's absorbed poorly by the skin. In contrast, tetramethrin is very potent.

What are the orange flying bugs near pools called and do they bite?
=== === Is this bug super tiny with a brown spot on one end? If so hes called a no-see-em. They can be killed by rubbing your hand over the skin where they are. Is this bug similar in size and shape to a housefly? If so, its a deer fly. Hard to kill without a flyswatter. Both bite. The deer fly can carry disease though. Insect repellant works for both but the pool water washes it off too easily. they are called thrips and thay are hard too kill so try finding an insecticide with permethin the best i found is tall star
