Best Answer

A pest-killer that contains naturally occurring mineral or plant derivatives describes a botanical pesticide. The pesticides in question also have the synonymous names natural and organic insecticides. An example is the pyrethrum derived from dried flower heads of Chrysanthemum cinerariifolium (Dalmatian chrysanthemum) or of Chrysanthemum coccineum (painted daisy).
