Crack and crevice treatment and barrier
strip" no maximum residue levels are required. Ref:

January
25, 1999 - Sediment
Toxicity and Fate of Synthetic Pyrethroids. The
synthetic pyrethroids were conditionally registered beginning
in 1984 for use on cotton and later for use on other major crops
including corn, soybeans, and sugarcane. Currently, EPA is assessing
risks to non-target organisms for ten synthetic pyrethroids:
bifenthrin, cyfluthrin, cypermethrin,
deltamethrin, fenpropathrin, fenvalerate, cyhalothrin,
tefluthrin, tralomethrin, and permethrin.
Each of these synthetic pyrethroids are conditionally registered
for use on cotton, with the exception of tefluthrin, which is
conditionally registered for use on corn. Each of these chemicals
is highly lipophilic and in aquatic environments tend to strongly
adsorb to sediments. Environmental Fate and Effects Division
