Do toxic chemicals help bacteria to grow?
The question is toxic to what. Not all chemicals which are toxic to humans are toxic to bacteria, and some chemicals which are toxic to bacteria are harmless to humans (which is why we can have antibiotics). There are chemicals (like Hydrogen Sulfide) which are very toxic to mammals that SOME bacteria eat as food. But there are other chemicals like chlorine which are toxic to both humans and bacteria. So the question does not have a simple answer.

It can be used against almost any pest in the house or garden. No Insect Immunity - Insect resistance is not a problem because of the complexity of the molecule that pyrethrum is composed of.
