Pyrethrins

Type: Insecticides

Mode of Action: Disruption of the nervous system

Common Product Names: Pyganic, Stryker, Riptide

What is it?

Pyrethrins are natural compounds extracted from chrysanthemum flowers, specifically the species Chrysanthemum cinerariifolium. These compounds have been used for centuries due to their potent insecticidal properties. They are considered relatively safe for humans and pets when used as directed, making them a popular choice for both agricultural and residential pest control.

How does it work?

Pyrethrins rapidly affect the target insects by disrupting their nervous system functions. The insect experiences paralysis and dies shortly thereafter. The effectiveness of pyrethrins is usually observed almost immediately upon contact with the insect, with noticeable results within minutes to hours. However, because pyrethrins break down quickly in the environment, they do not provide long-lasting residual protection, which necessitates repeated applications for ongoing pest control.

Benefits

  • Rapid Action: Pyrethrins act quickly, providing fast relief from insect pests.
  • Natural Origin: Derived from chrysanthemums, pyrethrins are a natural alternative to synthetic chemicals.
  • Low Residual: Pyrethrins degrade rapidly in the environment, reducing long-term exposure risks and environmental impact.
  • Low Toxicity to Mammals: Pyrethrins are considered safer for humans and pets compared to many synthetic insecticides, though they should still be used according to label instructions to avoid potential health risks.
  • Organic Farming: Some formulations of pyrethrins, such as PyGanic, are approved for use in organic agriculture, providing a pest control option that aligns with organic farming practices.
