Insecticide products are often quite controversial. Many of the active ingredients are persistent in the environment (particularly within water) and carry a threat to non-target species long after the initial reason for treatment has been controlled. In the hands of a trained, professional pest controller, these risks are greatly mitigated through intelligent use – though the core risks are always there.
This is our ‘why’ for creating our Pyrethrum based range of products, we wanted to reduce these risks at source by creating products that utilise materials that won’t linger in the environment, that are ready to use (and removing the risks associated with over dosing) and that reduce risk to non-target species when compared to some other insecticidal products – and as a result help to protect the pest controller from creating unwanted side effects when completing treatments.
With this in mind, we are delighted to announce that all the products in our Pyrethrum range (Deadline PyDust, Deadline PySpray and Deadline PyFog) have all gained HACCP approval. HACCP certification means that these products are now recognised as suitable for use in food and beverage facilities that operate a HACCP based food safety programme. This will provide new opportunities for treatment within food manufacturing facilities that pest controllers didn’t have access to before.
