Information on Pyrethrin
Key facts about pyrethrin:
* It's derived from chrysanthemum daisies
* It's long been used to fight mosquitoes (and most other flying insects)
* It's botanical, and will not accumulate in the environment (depending on sunlight, it normally burns off within two to three hours). Don't be fooled - there are synthetic forms of this extract in other products (pyrethroids) that will accumulate in the environment
* It works - mosquitoes simply can't stand up to it.
* Because it's botanical, mosquitoes almost never build up a tolerance (unlike some synthetic versions)
* No harsh insecticide odor
