Applications

Piperonyl Butoxide (PBO) is a synergist widely used in pesticides, household insecticides, and industrial applications. It enhances the effectiveness of certain insecticides (especially pyrethrins and pyrethroids) by inhibiting insect detoxification enzymes. Below are its key uses:

 

1. Primary Use: Pesticide Synergist

A. Insecticide Formulations

• Pyrethrin/Pyrethroid Booster

  • PBO blocks insect metabolic enzymes (e.g., cytochrome P450), preventing them from breaking down insecticides.

  • Makes pyrethrins & synthetic pyrethroids (e.g., permethrin, deltamethrin) 2-10x more effective.

• Commonly found in:

  • Household sprays (mosquito, cockroach, ant killers)

  • Agricultural pest control (stored grain protectants)

  • Public health (mosquito coils, bed nets)

B. Resistance Management

• Helps overcome insecticide resistance in mosquitoes (e.g., Aedes aegypti), flies, and crop pests.

 

2. Household & Public Health Uses

• Mosquito Control

  • Used in liquid vaporizers, coils, and aerosol sprays.

• Pet Care Products

  • Found in flea & tick shampoos, sprays, and spot-on treatments.

• Mothproofing

  • Protects wool and fabrics from moth larvae.

 

3. Industrial & Non-Pesticidal Uses

• Preservative in Paints & Plastics

  • Prevents microbial degradation.

• Solvent & Stabilizer

  • Used in some adhesives and coatings.

 

4. Safety & Regulation

• Moderate toxicity (LD50 ~1,500-7,500 mg/kg in rats).

• Not a standalone insecticide-only works as a synergist.

• Regulated in many countries (EPA-approved in the U.S.; restricted in EU for some uses).

 

Conclusion

PBO is primarily a pesticide synergist, crucial for:
 Enhancing pyrethroid efficacy
 Overcoming insect resistance
 Extending insecticide lifespan

Common Products Containing PBO:

• Raid® insect spray

• Off!® mosquito repellents

• Agricultural pyrethroid mixes
