When to Spray Pyrethrum?

Uses for Pyrethrum
Because it breaks down rapidly when exposed to air and light, it can be applied in a way that shields beneficial insects from danger, but gardeners absolutely must use this chemical properly and only apply it during the late evening, night, or very early in the morning, before bees are out foraging.

When Should I spray my pyrethrum?

Spray Early In The Morning

Using a hand sprayer, and wearing a respirator or self-contained breathing apparatus apply pyrethrin insecticide directly on the infested plants without disturbing them. This allows maximum exposure and efficiency for controlling these pests.

What is the best time to spray insecticide?

Insect Activity

Many insects are most active early in the morning and around dusk, making very early morning and early evening the most effective times for insecticide application. Insecticides can have undesirable consequences if they are applied at the wrong time.
