[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We use an organic mosquito spray and have tons of bees and butterflies in our yard! It’s been in the 40s overnight the past two days of course you’re not going to see those. [/quote] Sigh. When you spray insecticides, you don't selectively kill mosquitoes. You kill beneficial pollinators as well. Just because a spray is marketed as "organic" doesn't change that fundamental fact: it is designed to kill insects. And just because you still see bees and butterflies doesn't mean that you aren't poisoning them. The most environmentally responsible and effective way to manage mosquitoes is by eliminating standing water (dump weekly) and use BG-GAT Traps or homemade "bucket of doom." [/quote]
