[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the person who claims her bees and butterflies are just fine in spite of her spraying: That is actually impossible. It's pesticide they are spraying. Pesticide that indiscriminately kills anything small enough and near enough to ingest it. I spend a lot of effort planting a garden that attracts pollinators; it's infuriating to think that one spray-happy neighbor could undo all that work. I do understand that mosquitoes are awful. I do everything (short of spraying) I can to avoid them, including wearing bug spray myself. I love my yard but I'm willing to limit the time I spend out there in the summer to make sure it's livable for bees, butterflies, and birds. [/quote] I appreciate this comment because you acknowledge that mosquitos are awful and force you to limit outside time. It is really annoying to read the comments that say "Just empty out containers and put out a fan!" because those things absolutely do not work in our neighborhood where Asian Tiger Mosquitos are eating us alive ALL DAY for months and months.[/quote]
