Pyrethrum(CAT: R069680)is a natural insecticide derived from the dried flowers of certain chrysanthemum species, particularly Chrysanthemum cinerariifolium and Chrysanthemum coccineum. The active compounds in pyrethrum, called pyrethrins, have potent insecticidal properties and are widely used for pest control in agricultural, domestic, and public health settings. Pyrethrins target the nervous systems of insects, leading to paralysis and death. Due to their relatively low toxicity to humans and mammals, pyrethrins are considered safer alternatives to many synthetic chemical insecticides.
