General Information

Pyrethrins are natural substance purified from chrysanthemum flowers. Chrysanthemum flowers have been available in Europe for over 150 years and in their powdered form were used as louse and flea treatment. It is only in the last 50 years that liquid concentrates for public health pest control have appeared, and only in the last 10 years that they have been available in aerosol form with the launch of Protector Natural Aerosol.

Pyrethrins cause rapid knockdown of insects that quickly leads to death. The mode of action is non-systemic and contact action caused by the binding of pyrethrins to sodium channels inhibits the insects nervous system. This mode of action leads to a broad-spectrum of insecticidal activity, and due to the non-persistence of the active ingredient in the environment, insect resistance is very rare.
