About Pyrethrum

Py Flower

Pyrethrum is a botanical insecticide produced primarily in the flowers of Tanacetum cinerariaefolium, a species of the chrysanthemum plant family. Pyrethrum has been used effectively to control insects for centuries.  Pyrethrum is non-persistent and decomposes rapidly in the environment.  This rapid degradation makes pyrethrum an excellent choice for control of many insects in a wide variety of situations.

Pest Control Pros are continuously looking for sensible new solutions for today’s demanding pest control market.  MGK has launched two new Evergreen® products to help meet that need.

Evergreen Pyrethrum Concentrate  and Evergreen Pyrethrum Dust kill a broad spectrum of insects both indoors and outdoors using pure botanical insecticide.  There is no synergist added and the fast-acting pyrethrins photo-degrade rapidly in sunlight.  This makes EverGreen products an intelligent choice for most IPM protocols.  

Additionally, MGK uses a proprietary refining process that meets strict organic guidelines, enabling both products to be OMRI listed for use in organic food and livestock processing facilities.  The EverGreen products join a very short list of materials that can be used in these sensitive accounts.  

In addition to organically compliant locations, the products have a wide range of use sites including homes, hotels, hospitals, apartments, office buildings, restaurants, and conventional food and livestock facilities.
