Pyrethrum powder is toxic to ants, roaches, silverfish, bed bugs, fleas, wasps, spiders, crickets, mosquitoes, and just about every other category of unwanted house or garden pest. Because it decomposes rapidly in the environment, pyrethrum has been approved for a wide range of indoor and outdoor uses, including homes, restaurants, broad-scale spraying operations, and organic farms.

In addition to being environment friendly, pyrethrum also has the following unique properties: * Quick Action -Pyrethrum poisons insects upon contact, attacking the central nervous system and resulting in faster knockdown and kill. * Low Toxicity - Pyrethrum is one of the least toxic insecticides available, boasting a long history of proven safety towards humans and animals. * Repellent - When not present in fatal amounts, pyrethrum acts as a repellent to protect food establishments, grain storage, and crops from insect pests. * Flushing Agent- Pyrethrum agitates insects in their hiding places, flushing them out and forcing them to be exposed to the insecticide. * Multi-purpose - Pyrethrum consists of a group of compounds rather than a single compound, resulting in a wider scope of activity against pests than other insecticides. 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.

What causes fly infestations?

Easy access and inadequate circulation and sanitation can be reasons for a fly infestation in the garage.

Specifically, some residents unwittingly encourage pests such as flies by not closing doors and windows. Other residents may keep the garage so tightly shut that circulation of air is inadequate and welcomes the flies that manage to enter during the few moments of open access. Either way, flies will congregate in a garage which has cracked ceilings, floors and walls or dirt surfaces. They also will cluster in garages where animals can enter and propagate before dying or which have loosely covered or uncovered garbage cans and plumbing facilities in which bacteria grows.

Control and prevention include:

  • Application of permethrin-based insecticides;

  • Cleaning and repair of garage interiors;

  • Removal of dead wildlife;

  • Rinses of sinks and trash cans monthly with bleach;

  • Seals on waste receptacles;

  • Window screens so that glass can be regularly raised and shut during daylight hours
