Triazicide 16 oz. Aerosol Landscapes and Gardens

Triazicide is the only AEROSOL SPRAY that currently uses naturally derived pyrethrins made from chrysanthemum flowers, largely grown in Africa for this very use. Other synthetics created by the chemical industry (pyrethriods) often mimic the name, but they are not the same and are simply evermore invasive insecticidal chemicals. BTO, the other ingredient, is a catalyst and has no insecticide qualities at all. It is, ironically, a synthesized version of a naturally-occurring chemical as well, but again, it is non-insecticidal and only a catalyst. This insecticide has less negative impact in general compared to the ever-broadening synthetics. The concentration is only 0.02%, but is designed to spray on things you might likely EAT -- that is why. That is why it also contains BTO to help it work. Other synthesized "pyrethroids" might have faster knockdown, but at a greater cost to beneficial insects, your health, potential runoff and over-spray. Real pyrethrins has a short decay time and is less hazardous to bees and other beneficial insects, albeit, not completely benign, so be careful. Choose this product and be careful with its use and help save the planet. I have no ax to grind here, except that companies should be rewarded for using better, safer ingredients. You have to choose them or they'll stop. This applies only to the aerosol version of this brand.

Our neighborhood has issues with infestations of Japanese beetles and they ruin my canna plants, this stuff did the trick. I have to retreat after about a week but within 5min of using not a single beetle is to be found. I’ll gladly buy this next ya and use it as a preventive at the beginning of sum

Works well. No mixing or need for hose. Expensive, however.

Very efficient. And safe.
