“Pyrethrins”

What are pyrethrins?

• Pyrethrins are insecticides that are derived from the extract of chrysanthemum flowers (pyrethrum).
• The plant extract, called pyrethrum contains pyrethrin I and pyrethrin II collectively, called pyrethrins.
• Pyrethrins are widely used for control of various insects.

How do pyrethrins work?

• Nerve cell membranes have a specific electrical charge. Altering the amount of ions (charged atoms) passing through ion channels causes the membrane to depolarize which, in turn causes a neurotransmitters to be released. Neurotransmitters help the nerve cells to communicate. Electrical messages sent between nerve cells allow them to generate a response, like a movement in an insect.
• Pyrethrins affect the nervous system of insects by causing multiple action potentials in the nerve cells by delaying the closing of an ion channel.
• Pyrethrins act as contact poisons, affecting the insect’s nervous system
• Pesticide products containing pyrethrins usually contain a synergist (such as piperonyl butoxide - PBO). Synergists work by restricting an enzyme that insects use to detoxify the pyrethrins. A synergist allows the insecticide to be more effective.

What are some types of products that contain pyrethrins?

• Indoor bugbombs or foggers
• Human head-lice treatments
• Pet flea sprays
• Pet shampoos
