PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES:
Pyrethrins/Piperonyl Butoxide
Pyrethrum is a chrysanthemum derivative; the powdered, dried flower
heads contain active
principles mainly in the form of pyrethrins. Pyrethrins have
insecticidal activity producing both
knock-down and mortality in a range of insects, and low mammalian
toxicity. Common names:
dalmation insect powder. Persian insect powder.
Piperonyl butoxide acts as a synergist when combined with pyrethrin
and prolongs its action.

Posology and method of administration:
Directions for use: Part feathers and apply powder all over body,
particularly under
wings and tail so that powder penetrates to the skin. Avoid eyes.
Apply sparingly using
3-5g powder (from 4-6 gentle puffs) per bird according to size. For
best results leave
birds in basket in a dark place for one hour after treatment, then
liberate. Repeat every
3-4 days if necessary, until infestation is cleared. Use occasionally
as a precaution,
particularly after racing or showing. While treating birds, to help
prevent re-infestation,
a little powder may be dusted on the surroundings where mites breed
