An environmetally safe, broad spectrum insecticidal composition is disclosed. The composition combines a mixture of monocarboxylic acids (such as oleic and linoleic) and their alkali metal salts, and a pyrethroid compound. In a concentrated form of the composition, the monocarboxylic acid mixture comprises about 50 percent by weight monocarboxylic acids and their salts, at least 70 percent of which comprise oleic acid and at least 6 percent comprise linoleic acid. The pyrethroid compound is present in the concentrate at about 0.2 to 2.0 percent by weight.
