Pirimiphos-methyl is a phosphorothioate used as an insecticide. It was originally developed by Imperial Chemical Industries Ltd., now Syngenta, in 1967.[1]
This is one of several compounds used for vector control of triatomine bugs. These insects are implicated in the transmission of Chagas in the Americas.[2] Pirimiphos-methyl can be applied as an interior surface paint additive, in order to achieve a residual pesticide effect.
