Malathion

Form a chemical structure model of the insecticide Malathion out of Genuine Molymod Atoms & Bonds by Indigo.

What is Malathion?

Malathion is the most popular organophosphate insecticide. It is used outdoors to control a wide variety of insects in agricultural settings and around homes. Malathion blocks the enzyme acetylcholinesterase which in turns prevents the nervous system from working properly. While potentially toxic, birds and mammals can eliminate it far more readily than insects.

Common Uses for Malathion:

  1. Food and Feed Crops
  2. Mosquito Control
  3. Lawns and Gardens
  4. Medications - for scabies and head lice
  5. Spraying buildings, clothing
