No...not too much on plants....the non-toxic nature is why I use it. Family went through a prolonged Carbon Monoxide exposure many years ago and became sensitive to all things non-natural. Went to a museum once with the family and almost had to be carried out due to the levels of formaldehyde.


I wouldn't eat the stuff but I have no issues with it being on my clothing.

It messes with insect nervous systems and stops them from continuing on their path and then they ultimately die.

Also use diatomaceous earth for insect control. Dusted the house with it 3 years ago and haven't seen a spider since....and we had many. It actually causes leakage in their exoskeleton which dehydrates them after they travel through the dust. Neat.

Always get pharmaceutical grade and you can actually eat it. Good for parasitic issues.......Read up on it. Don't eat it as an experiment!

When we were going to Ecuador a lady told us to buy pyrethrin and spay or clothes with it. She said the military uses it for that reason - kills insects on contact.
