Kendon Pyrethrum-based solutions (also known as pyrethrin insecticide) are a natural, fast-acting and effective way to control pests. Derived from the dried flowers of Tanacetum cinerariifolium (pyrethrum daisies), these formulas work by disrupting the nerve function of insects, causing rapid paralysis and death within minutes of contact. They contain six active compounds—pyrethrins and related esters—which make it difficult for pests to develop resistance.
Triple Strength Formula:
With 13g of pyrethrins per litre, Kendon Pyrethrum is over three times stronger than most pyrethrum products, which typically contain only 4g per litre.
- 100ml makes 16.66 litres of solution.
- 500ml makes 83.3 litres of solution.
- 1000ml makes 166.6 litres of solution.
