Azamethiphos is an organ phosphorus pesticide, which works by interfering with the transmission of nerve impulses. It has been used in a spray form to control insects such as cockroaches and flies in buildings, warehouses and intensive farming installations. It has also been used in the UK (particularly in Scotland) in fish farming, to control external parasites such as sea lice on the Atlantic salmon. This application replaces the use of the hazardous "red list" pollutant.
