WHY PYRETHRIN?
Pyrethrin is a complex extract from the Pyrethrin or Chrysanthemum flower. SuperSAF contains natural Pyrethrin combined with two synergists that contribute to the efficacy, creating a most effective insecticide.
The outstanding properties of pyrethrin are:
1. NATURAL
A natural product derived from the dried flowers of the plant Chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium.
2. RAPID ACTION
It attacks the nervous system of insects almost immediately causing knockdown, followed by kill.
3. LOW MAMMALIAN TOXICITY
Few other insecticides can claim such a long record of proven safety towards humans and animals. It is one of the least toxic insecticides available.
4. LACK OF INSECT IMMUNITY
Insect resistance has not been found to be a practical problem.
5. BROAD SPECTRUM OF ACTIVITY
Pyrethrin has a wider spectrum of activity against insect species than most insecticides.
6. LACK OF PERSISTENCE
Pyrethrin is degraded by the combination of sunlight and air and therefore presents little of the hazards associated with other classes of persistent insecticides.
