A synergized Pyrethrum Concentrate with a mineral petroleum distillate base for use in ULV equipment. Pyrethrins are natural insecticides found in daisy-like Chrysanthemum flowers grown and harvested in Kenya, Africa and Austrailia. Pyrethrins have a low order of toxicity to warm-blooded animals and can be used even in the home with extreme confidence. When pyrethrins are combined with a synergist like piperonyl butoxide, its "killing power" against insects increases dramatically. The United States Department of Agriculture has stated that synergized pyrethrum "is probably the safest of all insecticides for use in food plants "and that " a pyrethrum formulation is approved for use around foodstuffs". Pyrethrin may be used with safety in food plants, homes and around animals where more hazardous materials cannot be used. It has a long history of satisfactory use around mammals and birds. Pyrethrin and the synergists are biodegradable and rapidly disintegrate in sunlight and air, thus assuring you that there will be no excessive build-up of insecticides dispensed in the area being treated. Pyrethrin,usually considered only for its knock-down and kill effect, also possesses substantial inherent repellency of insects. Observations in food establishments demonstrate that flies are not immediately killed but are found more often on windowsills or near doorways, bearing out the observation that pyrethrins are effective repellents, kill slowly due to the low dosage applied and drive the fly to seek the outdoors before dying.
