What Is Pyrethrum?
Pyrethrum is found in the Chrysanthemum plant, Chrysanthemum cineraariaefolium. Pyrethrum is found at particularly high concentration within flower structures known as achenes which are located in the flower head of the Chrysanthemum.
Pyrethrum has been extensively studied for its effects on people and the environment. Like all insecticides, pyrethrum is used to have a toxic effect on insects. Thus it is not correct to say that pyrethrum is “safe.” At the same time, we are confident that pyrethrum has a very good toxicity profile. For mammals, doses that elicit toxic reactions are significantly larger than the exposures people typically experience in using pyrethrum based products.
