Pyrethrum is extracted from the chrysanthemum flower. It is clear and free of allergens. Furthermore, Pyrethrum has a low toxicity level, it is water based and biodegradable. This insecticide protects the chrysanthemum flowers from plant-eating insects. Insects do not build up immunity to pyrethrum as they do other chemicals and synthetic compounds dangerous to humans.
