Chrysanthemums Kill…Insects!

MarinaHanes ~ 21 September 2010

When it comes to pest control, you probably never imagined a flower like the chrysanthemum could help you out. Whether you’re treating your exterior or interior home to ward off insects, it’s in your best interest to choose a non-toxic product.

Earth Options by Raid is an effective bug killer made from the chrysanthemum flower. It’s so good at pest control that it can even take care of those pesky German cockroaches. In addition, it works great for getting rid of ants, fleas, spiders, ticks, silverfish and more. Depending on what type of insect you’re trying to eliminate, there are specific instructions for use.

Raid is a part of SC Johnson, and this company has even gone so far as to help people in East Africa grow chrysanthemums so they can use the plant-based insecticide (pyrethrum).
