About Pyrethrum
Insecticides made from the dried flowers of Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium have been sold in Europe for around 150 years to control fleas and lice. Until now, liquid pyrethrum concentrates had not been registered by the PSD. Thanks to the efforts of the Friends of Pyrethrum, this concentrate is now registered for use by organic and non-organic growers alike.
