I think that pyrethrums are associated with organics not
pyrethroids--pyrethroids are looked at as safer compounds in agriculture use
situations than our soon to be totally eliminated organo-phophates and
carbamates because they have lowered toxicity to man and animals (not
insects or bees), and have shorter residuals in general.
