NATURAL PYRETHRUM oil is extracted from the Pyrethrum daisy and been used as a natural insecticide since the early 1900’s. It has been proven to be one of the most environmental friendly low toxic insecticides as there is virtually no residue.
Pyrethrum was used for centuries as an insecticide, and as a lice remedy in the Middle East (Persian powder, also known as "Persian pellitory"). Pyrethroids are synthetic insecticides based on natural pyrethrum ( pyrethrins); one common example is permethrin. A common formulation of pyrethrin is in preparations containing the synthetic chemical piperonyl butoxide: this has the effect of enhancing the toxicity to insects and speeding the effects when compared with pyrethrins used alone. These formulations are known as synergized pyrethrins.
