Description

Pyrethrins are a group of naturally occurring insecticidal compounds derived primarily from chrysanthemum flowers. Their rapid knockdown effect and low mammalian toxicity make them a cornerstone of modern, environmentally conscious pest control strategies. This product is essential for formulators and manufacturers across the agricultural, public health, and domestic pest control industries seeking effective, biodegradable active ingredients.

Application

• Agricultural Insecticides: Formulation of sprays and dusts for the protection of fruits, vegetables, and ornamental crops against a broad spectrum of insects.
• Public Health Pest Control: Key component in products for mosquito and fly control, crucial for managing vector-borne diseases.
• Domestic & Household Insecticides: Used in aerosols, foggers, and pet shampoos for indoor and garden pest management.
• Stored Product Protection: Application in warehouses and food storage facilities to protect grains and other commodities.
• Livestock & Animal Health: Incorporation into ectoparasiticide formulations for cattle, poultry, and pets.
• Organic Farming: Approved for use in certified organic agriculture as a natural pest control agent.

Quality Control

Our Pyrethrins are produced and tested to ensure high activity and consistency. Quality is verified through rigorous analytical methods including HPLC to determine the total pyrethrins content and the ratio of key active esters. We provide full traceability and Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available for every batch, confirming compliance with relevant FAO and EPA specifications for pesticide-grade materials.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to the light-sensitive nature of the active compounds, prolonged exposure to direct light or high temperatures should be avoided to maintain potency.
