Pyrethrum PCO-5*: A Pyrethrum based Insecticide for Professional Pest Control

Pyrethrum PCO-5 is a professional insecticide formulated with pyrethrum extract, designed to provide rapid knockdown and effective control of a wide range of flying and crawling insects. Thanks to its botanical origin and fast contact action, it is an ideal solution for pest management professionals looking for both efficacy and versatility.

What Is Pyrethrum PCO-5?

Pyrethrum PCO-5 is based on pyrethrins of botanical origin, i.e. active substances extracted from chrysanthemum flowers. These compounds are well known for their immediate insecticidal action, acting directly on the insect nervous system and causing rapid paralysis and death.

The formulation is developed specifically for professional pest control operators (PCOs) and is suitable for use in various environments where quick and reliable results are required.

Mode of Action

Pyrethrum PCO-5 works by contact. Once the insect comes into contact with the treated surface or the spray droplets, the active ingredient interferes with nerve signal transmission. This leads to a fast knockdown effect, making the product particularly effective for immediate control of active infestations.

Target Pests

Pyrethrum PCO-5 is effective against a broad spectrum of insects commonly encountered in professional pest control activities, including:

• Mill moth (Ephestia kuehniella), Indian meal moth (Plodia interpunctella), Cigarette beatle (Lasioderma serricorne), Drugstore beetle (Stegobium paniceum)
• Dust mites (Dermatophagoides farina)
• Cockroaches (Blattella germanica, Periplaneta americana)
• Chicken’s mites (Dermanyssus gallinae)

This wide range of activity makes it suitable for both spot treatments and general space treatments, depending on the infestation level and application strategy.

Areas of Use

Thanks to its flexibility, Pyrethrum PCO-5 can be used in various professional settings, such as:

• • Kitchens, bars, restaurants and company canteens
  • Empty silos and tobacco industry
  • Public and industrial areas
  • Rural buildings, stables, shelters and pet shelters

Its fast action makes it especially useful in sensitive environments where an immediate reduction of insect presence is required.

Key Benefits for Pest Control Professionals

Using Pyrethrum PCO-5 offers several important advantages:

• Rapid knockdown effect, ideal for immediate control
• An active ingredient derived from plant sources
• Broad-spectrum efficacy against flying and crawling insects
• High versatility, suitable for different indoor and outdoor contexts

These characteristics make Pyrethrum PCO-5 a reliable tool within an integrated pest management (IPM) approach.

Pyrethrum in Modern Pest Control

Pyrethrum extract has been used in pest control for decades and continues to play a key role in modern formulations. Its fast action and botanical origin make it particularly appreciated when immediate results are needed, while still fitting into strategies focused on rotation of active ingredients and responsible use.

Pyrethrum PCO-5 combines this traditional active substance with a formulation specifically engineered for professional use, ensuring consistent performance and application reliability.
