Dimethoate

Sincerely hope the first two - organophosphates - are not!
Pyrethrum, Resmethrin & Permethrin probably are. Don't quote me!!

Pyrethrum is available (from the Organic Catalogue among others!)
http://www.pesticides.gov.uk/approvals.asp?id=627
and
http://www.rhs.org.uk/thegarden/pubs/garden0503/pesticides2.asp
- info on recently banned chemicals.
Malathion (organophosphate or not) is still available and used to treat head-lice (the cure worse than the condition? Banned in the garden but put it on your hair? Scary!).
All best - Gavin
