Quick facts
Pyrethrum is very effective against ants but ants often do little damage to plants.
Ants eat the honeydew exuded by sap-sucking insects such as aphids, so targeting the sap-suckers will usually get rid of the ants.
The active ingredient is 0.3g/L pyrethrins
This spray also contains piperonyl butoxide that stabilises the pyrethrum and enhances its effectiveness.
|
Use at any time of the year but not when the weather is hot and/or windy. Spray lightly and often until pests are under control.
Why Pyrethrum Insect Spray is so useful
Based on the natural extract of pyrethrum daisies grown in Tasmania, this low toxicity spray kills insects effectively while not entering the food chain or accumulating in the environment. It is safe to use on all food plants.
How to use
