Defender Pyrethrum Insect Spray 750ml
Low toxicity
Pyrethrum is not a scheduled poison - it poses very minimal risk to humans, animals and birds. No protective gear required
Non-residual, non-systemic
Does not remain on, nor is it absorbed by plants. It doesn't enter the food chain or accumulate in the environment. It is easily washed off.
Spray today, eat tomorrow
Wait just one day after spraying edibles with Pyrethrum before picking or eating. Rinse in fresh water after harvest to wash away any residue
Effective against ants
Pyrethrum is highly effective at stopping ants - it literally kills them in their tracks.

Not Suitable For
Do not use on very young seedlings or very soft, new foliage (it may result in burning)
