How Optimate CS Insecticide Works Optimate CS microencapsulated insecticide contains gamma-cyhalothrin, a more potent active ingredient when compared to lambda-cyhalothrin. Though both ingredients provide generalized pest control, gamma-cyhalothrin kills insects twice as fast. This active ingredient is classified as a pyrethroid and affects the insects' central nervous systems. After coming into contact with the ingredient, the insects lose much of their ability to function and become paralyzed before dying. Where to Use Optimate CS Insecticide Use Optimate CS insecticide outdoors to reduce the pest population in backyards, on commercial landscapes and throughout recreational fields.
