Description:
Pyrethrins are natural insecticides produced by certain species of the chrysanthemum plant. The flowers of the plant are harvested shortly after blooming and are either dried and powdered or the oils within the flowers are extracted with solvents. The resulting pyrethrin containing dusts and extracts usually have an active ingredient content of about 30%. These active insecticidal components are collectively known as pyrethrins. The natural pyrethrins are contact poisons which quickly penetrate the nerve system of the insect. A few minutes after application, the insect cannot move or fly away. Do not use around water as pyrethrins are highly toxic to fish. Piperonyl butoxide is extremely toxic to bees and other pollinators, so avoid flowers when possible. This product is a broad spectrum insecticide and will attack beneficial insects as well as pests.
Application Recommendations:
Apply dust uniformly to upper and lower leaf surfaces. For outdoor use around the home only.
