Transfluthrin is a fast-acting pyrethroid insecticide with low persistency. It has the molecular formula C₁₅H₁₂Cl₂F₄O₂.

Transfluthrin can be used in the indoor environment against flies, mosquitoes and cockroaches. It is a relatively volatile substance and acts as a contact and inhalation agent.

Transfluthrin, if used contrary to product instructions, may cause symptoms of poisoning including nervousness, anxiety, tremor, convulsions, skin allergies, sneezing, running nose and irritation. No specific antidotes are known, but symptomatic treatment with antihistamines may help to control any allergies.
