Pyrethrum:
From paddock to finished product |
|
|
Pyrethrum
is derived from the plant Tenacetum cinerariaefolium.
Pyrethrins is the active insecticidal component
of pyrethrum. |

Natural
insecticide & Bio degradable
Pyrethrum continue to enjoy widespread
acceptance because of its : -natural product Environmental
Friendly status and low toxicity. |

NATURAL
PYRETHRUM
Insecticide sprays formulated
with natural pyrethrum with
synergist continue
to be a popular and effective means of insects
control.

Synergist is a compound which has little or no insecticidal action
by itself but when combined with Pyrethrum or another insecticide,
will act to multiply the effect of pyrethrum.
Pyrethrins is the active insecticidal
component. Insecticide sprays formulated with natural pyrethrum
continue to be a popular and effective means of insects control.
Pyrethrum is different from
synthetics insecticide in a number of ways: -
 |
Very low toxicity
to human and warm blooded animals/ pets |
|
Non persistent.
It break down in sunlight and does not contaminate the environment. |
|
Fast acting against
many harmful insects. |
|
Insects resistant
is very uncommon |
|

A decade ago, pyrethrum
seedlings were laboriously planted by hand. The process is
now mechanized, producing dense, white masses of flowers,
such as these (above) at Kindred, in Tasmania, Australia. |
|
PYRETHRINS synergist is a natural formulation available in water based/ dry based and it is biodegradable.
This is a new concept, environmental friendly, safe to use natural
insecticide (Pyrethrins) and new formulation in the market.

Like
all other daisies, and their larger cousins the chrysanthemums,
pyrethrum daisies have a composite flower head- each is made
up of hundreds of tiny florets.
Those on the outside, with their
large white petals, are the ray florets, surrounding a tightly
packed cluster of bright yellow disc florets.
When these are fertilized they
each form an achene, or fruit, containing
a seed. And this is where the Pyrethrins are found: in tiny
oil glands scattered over the surface of each achene.

The
unique biological properties
PYRETHRINS : -
|
|
|
Remarkable
results against a wide variety of insects. Pyrethrum is
a contact insecticide attacking the nervous system of insects almost
immediately and causing knockdown, soon followed by kill, particularly
against mosquitoes, cockroaches, flies, etc.
|
|
Broad
Spectrum of Activity : Because Pyrethrum consists of a
group of related compounds; it has a wider spectrum of activity
against insect species than many single insecticides.
|
|
Lack
of Insect Immunity : The structure of the molecule is so
complex and it breakdown so quickly that insect resistance to Pyrethrum is not a practical problem.
|
|
Low
Mammalian Toxicity : No other insecticide can claim such
a long record of proven safety towards humans and warm-blooded animals.
It is one of the least toxic of domestic insecticides available
and has worldwide approval for use in the most sensitive home environments.
|
|
Environment
friendly - Non resistant: PYRETHRINS is degraded
by the combination of sunlight and water and therefore presents minimal environmental the hazard.
|
|
Repellency
: PYRETHRINS is a powerful insect repellent which
in combination with its low mammalian toxicity favors it in many
applications, such as food and grain storage protection, personal
protection, and inhibit biting by insect, such as mosquitos.
|
|
Flushing
Action : PYRETHRINS has a much greater flushing effect
than any other insecticide; it disturbs pests such as cockroaches in their hiding places
forcing them to get out and to get exposed to the insecticide. |

At Devonport, Mango, a jack Russell-beagle cross, wears her
most expressive look as she gets rinsed off after being washed with
dog shampoo containing pyrethrum. Non-toxic to warm-blooded animals,
pyrethrum is used as an insecticide in a range of preparations,
from mosquito coils to fly-sprays.
|
As opposed to synthetic pyrethroids
such as permethrin or resmethrin, insects do not build up resistence
to Pyrethrins so the killing effect will not diminish over time.
It is also biodegradable - after the
spray has done its work it degrades leaving no residual matter.
Pyrethrins is USDA accepted for use in human food processing facilities
so you know it is not only safe for you but also for your animals.
Pyrethrins is the most effective and
efficient means for controlling insects while maintaining a safe
environment for you and your animals. It also aids in the control
of disease carried by insect vectors thereby reducing the spread
of infections and contamination.
In this respect, Pyrethrins with synergist
is always strongly recommended and guarantees that all the contaminated
insects really die. The newly developed formulation interferes with
the detoxification of the insecticide by inhibiting the functions
of the insects’ MFO enzymes (antibody system) and plays an
important role in preventing or delaying the onset of resistance.
Pyrethrins contained the synergist, which is a substance that considerably increases
the efficacy of an active ingredient (Pyrethrins) towards insects.
Researchers have dealt with the detoxification problem by combining
Pyrethrum extract with a liquid synergist, which fools the insect's metabolism so that it doesn't break down
pyrethrum in the body. Mixed with this chemical, a small amount
of Pyrethrum can control insects effectively.
It is non-persistent being rapidly
degraded by light and other natural processes, meaning that they
degrade into totally non-toxic substances in a very short time after
sprayed. Its long-term usage results minimal impact on the human and
environment
Furthermore, the new formulation approved
food additive tolerance, so it can be used safely for general applications
in household, food processing and food storage premises. |
