Pyrethrum affects insects by prolonged exposure (several minutes) even at very low concentrations. Because of its organic nature, pyrethrum breaks down within about two hours of being dispensed into air.

Therefore to effectively use pyrethrum it is necessary to dispense it continuously into the environment in small doses. This is where the battery operated aerosol dispenser comes in.

The Ecomist dispenser, runs on three penlight batteries that last at least a year, it is easily programmable to automatically dispense precise dosages of odourless pyrethrum day and night.

On "normal" dispenser settings a 250ml aerosol of Ecomist’s Insect Killer will last approximately 33 days working 24 hours a day.

Besides being highly effective and safe for humans Ecomist’s continual unobtrusive operation is what makes it most attractive to customers looking for a permanent solution to their insect problems.

Also pyrethrum is odourless which makes it a good alternative to burning nasty smelling coils.
