Danitol (fenpropathrin)
Danitol is a broad-spectrum pyrethroid insecticide/miticide with contact and stomach action. It is registered for use on apples and pears, but not on stone fruit.

On pears, Danitol is registered for the control of codling moth and pear psylla. The rate for Danitol varies from 10.67 to 21.33 fluid ounces per application, with no more than 42.67 fluid ounces per season. The product is highly toxic to fish and aquatic organisms. Due to fenpropathrin toxicity to beneficial organisms, the compound is recommended mainly for prebloom insecticide applications in Pennsylvania.
