Pyrethrum: Can anyone tell me about their experiences in using Pyrethrum?

Yes, I can tell you about my experiences. The poison in these cans (Pyrethrum) did not come from the chrysanthemum flower. The poison in these cans are synthetic. More info here...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrethrum

Sorry, but I have not used celery seed... I will certainly look into it for it's benefits. Thank you for inadvertently 'guiding me' toward another potential health aid. :)

Cabuca, you are correct. Mind you Pyrethin is a natural organic compound normally derived from Chrysanthemum cinerariifolium, (a plant actually from the husk/shell of it's seeds). There is no expiration date listed on the nomenclature of my bottle of Adams. Hope this helps, note this dip, even though revered as the safer alternative to other organic/chemical insecticides/repellents; this insecticide can be fatal or harmful to you, your family, and pet(s) if not applied/mixed correctly.

I love using Preen. It has helped keep the weeds from growing. I have only used it in my regular garden, not where I grow vegetables. I like the answers submitted by other fellow users. It is better to be safe!

I am not a chemist, just a home owner. I will say however that I have had great success with Kill Zone. It is not as fast as I would like, It takes 7 to 10 days. It has worked for me. I have not tried it on crabgrass, and would expect it to fail that test.

I have used it for all sorts of bugs, etc., but haven't used them specifically for roaches although we randomly find one dead or dying. I am very happy with cyper and comparing it to pre-mixed, etc., it's a hell of a lot of killer for the money. g.r.derman, Homestead, FLorida

I use bifenthrin... dilute to recommended usage... I use inside around baseboards, plumbing openings, etc... outside where you see them coming out of the ground... I use it for all insects... it is safe when dry... lasts for 3 months or so... I mix it up in a hand held spray bottle.. BE SURE AND MARK THE BOTTLE so it doesn't get used for anything else... it kills spiders, fleas, beetles.... awesome stuff... I had a pesticide licensed spray come and spray... it is what he used...

I'm about to call today too. My husband used it with those little flecks and 2 days later had acute appendicitis. I'm certain it had nothing to do with it but he thinks otherwise and refuses to use it until we get new ones. Thanks for the info!

We have had one for about a year. I'm not convinced it has been very effective at all. Had great expectations but ended up having to hire a professional exterminator.

DO NOT USE THIS ON CATS EVEN THOUGH THE BOTTLE HAS A PICTURE OF ONE IN THE CORNER OF THE LABEL. This contains Pyrethrin which is EXTREMELY toxic to cats. Do some research.

I have to agree with the previous posts, although our problem is also bedbugs and I can't vouch for de's effectiveness on roaches. I imagine a powder might be too thick, but I kind of doubt it. Remember to use a protective mask when using diatomaceous earth.

Sorry about the delay in answering, just got back from Africa today. It's 0.5% Permethrin. We treated our clothes before we left. No insect bites at all in 2 weeks in Africa.

Thanks for the info. I guess we all have to decide where we will draw the line when it comes to toxic exposure. Btw I didn't create this product. (I'm saying that because you said "you".) This is good to know though moving forward. Thanks.

Pyrexware. Isn't it awesome? Did you get the Amazon price? For most thimngs, we use the daily-use Pfaltazgraffs.

I used high heat as well as mattress and box spring covers, I also used a LOT of baking soda and also bed bug bully. It seemed very effective to me, there were some 'stragglers' which we hit with the bed bug bully and no problems since, and it has been well over four months. No hard research that I've seen, but I was determined to do this without toxic pesticides, and I feel this product was a very good ally in our battle, which we won.

From my limited experience with gardening and deer in the northeast U.S. I must say that any purslane seems to vulnerable to deer feeding habits. If you really want to please the deer plant very expensive hosta hybrids,deer REALLY like these! Seriously though i wish you success in your deer aiding efforts. I'm sure you have a different agenda than North east gardeners.For us question is similar to asking "What food should I leave in my kitchen to best attract and enhance roach populations. Best luck in your quest!
