Natural Pyrethrum
The history of Pyrethrum as an insect repellent can be
traced back to an early Chinese Dynasty where it was grown for sale and
passed along the silk routes to Europe.
Pyrethrum is derived from the flowers of Chrysanthemum
Cinerarifolium and possesses a unique combination of insecticidal
properties. It contains not one but at least six distinct related
insecticidal ingredients called Pyrethrins. Insects affected by
Pyrethrum will try to escape from the threatening area.
Imitations
Although in recent years there have been several
chemical imitations of Pyrethrum, none of these alone combines all the
properties of Pyrethrum.
Properties
SAFETY
Pyrethrum is one of the safest insecticides known. It
has a low toxicity rate, is non-allergenic and is approved by
government regulators for the use in meat exporting and processing
facilities.
BIODEGRADABLE
Pyrethrum is a totally natural product and is soon
broken down by sunlight and leaves no residue. Ideal where food is
prepared or where there may be children and pets.
FLUSHING ACTION
Disturbs insects so they move out of their hiding places
and expose themselves to the insecticidal spray. Greater flushing power
than any other commercial insecticide.
FAST KNOCKDOWN
Pyrethrum initially causes insects to escape from a
threatening area. A rapid paralytic action causes knockdown soon after
- often within seconds.
REPELLENCY
Pyrethrum is repellent to insects at very low
concentrations, a useful property in the protection of stored grain and
other foodstuffs.
BROAD SPECTRUM
Effective against a wide range of insects and pests.
MINIMAL INSECT RESISTANCE
Very few insects have been discovered that are resistant
to Pyrethrum. Each batch of Pyrethrum is different and should an insect
develop a resistance to one batch, over time they are effectively
controlled by the next batch.
