Schultz Houseplants & Gardens Pyrethrum Insect Spray |
Chemical Action and Usages: Botanical insecticide with the active ingredients of pyrethrins (natural insecticides extracted from certain chrysanthemums). This is a contact spray which rapidly penetrates insect nervous systems causing paralysis. Pyrethrins naturally break down quite rapidly on exposure to sunlight, with residual toxicity persisting for less than one day. Helps control a variety of insects including aphids, beetles, cabbage loopers, gnats, leafhoppers, mealybugs, moths, stink bugs, thrips, whiteflies and mites. These products may be used on certain houseplants, ornamentals, fruits, vegetables, shrubs, vines and trees. May be used on food crops up to the day of harvest.
Cautions/Instructions: Read the label carefully of the brand you have selected. Apply the product according to the instructions on the label. Do not apply to bodies of water.
Toxicity: Low toxicity to humans, birds and pets. Can be toxic to bees and other beneficial insects. Toxic to fish.
