GOOD THINGS you need to know about
Pyrethrins
Many
of our KONK products contain a proven safe, "natural",
active known as PYRETHRIN. Because pyrethrins are natural,
Air Guard products are safe for controlling flying insects
and pests around the home, factory, food establishment
and farm. The following write-up provides more details
about the safety and effectiveness of "PY"
Pyrethrins are natural insecticides found in daisy-like
Chrysanthemum flowers grown and harvested in Australia,
Africa and Kenya. Pyrethrins have a low order of toxicity
to warm-blooded animals and can be used even in the home
with extreme confidence. Pyrethrins and a synergist combine
for "a dramatic increase in killing power" against
insects.
The United States Department of Agriculture has stated
that synergized pyrethrum "is probably the safest
of all insecticides for use in food plants "and that"
a pyrethrum formulation is approved for use around foodstuffs".
Pyrethrin may be used with safety in food plants, homes
and around animals where more hazardous materials cannot
be used. It has a long history of satisfactory use.
Pyrethrin and the synergists are biodegradable
and rapidly disintegrate in sunlight and air, thus assuring
you that there will be no excessive build-up of insecticides
dispensed in the area being treated. The quantities of
insecticides dispensed by the Automatic timed-Aerosol
Dispenser are minimal or mere trace quantities, when compared
with officially established standards of safe human tolerance.
REPELLENT AND INSECTICIDAL PROPERTIES
Pyrethrin, usually considered only for its knock-down
and kill effect, also possesses substantial inherent repellency
of insects. In any event, the most noticeable effect after
a short period of operation of the automatic timed-aerosol
dispenser is the absence of any winged insects, (mosquitoes
or flies) or crawling insects, (such as cockroaches),
within the treated area.
GREATER SAFETY FOR USERS
The safety of an aerosol insecticide depends not only
on low toxicity of the active and inert ingredients but
also the method for dispensing them. Air Guard KONK accomplishes
both and all this has an important bearing on safety.
KONK products with Pyrethrins provide FAST, RAPID KNOCKDOWN
and KILL of Mosquito's, Flies and other insect pests.
