What is Natural Pyrethrum?
Pyrethrum, derived from the dried flowers of Chrysanthemum Cinerariaefolium is one of the oldest and most widely used botanical insecticides worldwide. Pyrethrum products represent 80% of the total market of global botanical insecticides, due to their low mammalian toxicity and low persistence in the environment, making them among the safest insecticides in use. It contains not one but at least six distinct related insecticidal ingredients called Pyrethrins. Insects affected by Pyrethrin will be immediately killed. Pyrethrin is a natural insecticide that is biodegradable and breaks down when exposed to direct sunlight, the molecule degrades and then it breaks down. It is therefore an environmental friendly product as it leaves no residue after being broken down by sunlight.
As Pyrethrum is an herbal poison, it was also utilized by humans especially during the second world war and is even registered in certain countries to be utilized by humans treating head lice. For example, Australia and can be purchased OTC (over-the-counter).
The fact that it is a natural product, reduces the impact and detrimental effects on the body. Furthermore Pyrethrum is FDA approved, in the USA, Regulations Title 21 Subchapter D
