A gathering outdoors can quickly become an itching nightmare if mosquitoes are present. Since mosquito bites are so annoying, it makes sense that you might be considering having a professional mosquito control service spray your yard with insecticide. Perhaps you’ve done so already.
Despite marketing promises to the contrary, these sprays are harmful to more than simply mosquitoes. The most popular household mosquito sprays are also dangerous to humans, pets, fish, and other aquatic species and highly poisonous to native pollinators like bees and butterflies. Here’s some information you’ll need before you start spraying.
What’s in Mosquito Sprays?
Most mosquito control companies use insect-toxic compounds derived from chrysanthemum flowers called pyrethrins or synthetic chemicals called pyrethroids. These broad-spectrum insecticides are highly toxic to many insects, not just mosquitoes. When applied in your yard, they can also kill beneficial insects like bees, butterflies, caterpillars, ladybugs, and dragonflies.
Are TruGreen Services Safe for Bees?
TruGreen services may or may not be safe for bees, so choosing a responsible lawn care service to protect bee populations is essential. Their most popular service is lawn fertilization, which can help maintain a healthy and attractive lawn all year round.
The TruGreen fertilizing service includes the following:
- TruGreen may utilize granular and liquid fertilizers depending on the season and the weather.
- To encourage healthy tree development, they will use several types of oil.
- TruGreen will cut the lawn back to size if it becomes too long.
