Re: Pyrethrins



Pyrethrins specifically attack the nervous system of insects and cold-blooded critters, so just to agree with Kathy, pyrethrins are okay around any warm-blooded animals.  They *will* kill fish, so cover the tanks in the house.
 
The other thing is that pyrethrins are a direct-contact kill, they really don't have any residual effect despite what the labels say.  Any residual effect comes from other aromatic oils added and that sort of thing.

Okay lets set the record straight on pyrethrins and cats.  Pyrethrin is probably one of the most commonly used insecticides in flea control products and is considered safe if used according to directions.  So use it on your horses and don’t worry about your cats.
