Py-Bo Natural Pyrethrum Insecticide Concentrate – 80g/L
Powerful Plant-Derived Insect Control
Py-Bo is a concentrated natural pyrethrum insecticide manufactured by Pestech Australia. Natural pyrethrum is derived from chrysanthemum flowers and provides rapid knockdown of susceptible insects through contact.
Py-Bo contains 80g/L natural pyrethrum, providing a highly concentrated solution for economical pest control across a wide range of applications.
Fast Knockdown & Contact Action
Natural pyrethrum contains a combination of naturally occurring insecticidal compounds known collectively as pyrethrins. These act on the insect nervous system to provide rapid knockdown and control through direct contact.
This makes Py-Bo particularly useful where fast control of active insect populations is required.

Ideal for Mosquito & Midge Control
The fast knockdown characteristics of natural pyrethrum make Py-Bo particularly useful for controlling mosquitoes, midges and flies around suitable treatment areas.
When used with appropriate application equipment, Py-Bo can help treat larger outdoor areas and locations where flying insects congregate.
Highly Concentrated – 80g/L Pyrethrum
Py-Bo contains 80g/L natural pyrethrum. According to Pestech, most applications use approximately 1mL of Py-Bo per litre of water.
At this mixing rate:
- 100mL makes up to 100L of prepared solution
- 500mL makes up to 500L of prepared solution
- 1L makes up to 1,000L of prepared solution
- 5L makes up to 5,000L of prepared solution
Important: Application and dilution rates vary according to the target pest and application. Always follow the current Py-Bo product label rather than relying solely on the general 1mL/L rate.
Natural Pyrethrum
Py-Bo is a solvent-free botanical insecticide built around natural pyrethrum extracted from chrysanthemums.
Natural pyrethrum contains six insecticidal compounds – pyrethrin I and II, cinerin I and II, and jasmolin I and II – which act on susceptible insects.
Rapid Breakdown in Sunlight
Natural pyrethrum breaks down rapidly when exposed to UV light. This makes Py-Bo useful for applications where rapid insect knockdown combined with relatively short persistence is desirable.
Pestech specifies a 1 day withholding period for Py-Bo, making it particularly useful in suitable agricultural and horticultural applications where permitted by the product label.
