Make Pyrethrum Work For You
Flower-based pyrethrins address the growing need for sustainable insect control solutions that are reliable and effective. This is the unique benefit we call The Power of the Flower.
Protection Against Plant Predators
Flower-based pyrethrins are a sustainable botanical active ingredient that come from a chrysanthemum flower. Pyrethrins are registered with the EPA as an insecticide. This plant-based insecticide offers a unique combination of immediate pest-eliminating efficacy, a shorter environmental presence, and low mammalian toxicity.
With consumer preferences shifting toward green pesticides and products, pyrethrins delivers on all fronts: a botanically-derived active ingredient with broad-spectrum efficacy for both flying and crawling insects – all delivered with a more environmentally-sustainable profile.
Pyrethrum flowers are grown in two central regions known for the chrysanthemum flowers: the remote southern highlands in Tanzania, East Africa, and the island of Tasmania, Australia. Both growing locales provide geographic diversity for sustainable production, ideal climatic conditions, and rich, fertile volcanic soils for the chrysanthemum flower to thrive.
Pyrethrins are the insecticide that works for good. The chrysanthemum flowers in East Africa provide the only cash crop for thousands of smallholder family farms, providing income to fund education, housing and food. This crop provides economic stability to the region and a better way of life for thousands of families.
Plant-based pyrethrins target the central nervous system of insects and provide quick knockdown and kill of a broad spectrum of plant-damaging pests. Pyrethrins degrade quickly in the environment making them the ideal insecticide option for sensitive areas in the home.
The versatility of flower-based pyrethrins in form and formulation is impressive. This insecticide can be used alone or combined with other actives in aerosols, liquid concentrates, ready-to-use sprays, and dusts. Pyrethrins may be synergized by certain other ingredients, making them even more effective. This versatility makes it easy to customize formulas for the best results.
