A microcapsule is provided enclosing one or more compounds selected from pyrethroid compounds represented by Formula (1) or (2) wherein Ra represents a hydrogen atom, a fluorine atom, a chlorine atom, or a methyl group； Rb represents a fluorine atom, a chlorine atom, a methyl group, or a trifluoromethyl group； and Rc represents a hydrogen atom, a methyl group, a propargyl group, or a methoxymethyl group. The volume median diameter of the microcapsule is 2 to 100 μm, the thickness of the microcapsule is 0.02 to 0.3 μm, and the microcapsule is substantially free of a hydrophobic organic solvent.
