This is total bullshit. Not only will pyrethrum kill all the bees and other bugs in addition to some of the mosquitoes, it will seriously f up your local waterways.

I'm not pp, but I'm not sure what is bs about it. Synthetics do in fact offer superior control methods. As to your waterway comment, OK. I'll make sure to use it on my shrubs instead of dumping it straight into the water. Glad you thought of that. And for the bees, 1. I don't give a f about bees, especially local ones that have not one iota of impact on agricultural pollination, and 2. Even if I did, bees don't chill on bushes like mosquitos do. Ergo, if I spray my bushes, it impacts the mosquitos, not the bees. Stop being dumb about this stuff. Thanks.

Couldn't have said it any better. The pesticide police out there want everyone to believe that they are being applied poorly and dumped into the waterways...NOT TRUE at all. I, as well as many others, are licensed, insured and train regularly on the correct way to store, mix, apply and dispose of any product. When applied by a licensed and trained applicator chemicals are VERY safe. As for bees......no shortage of bees in the city or suburbs....you need to take that fight to the farmers who have less regulation over what, when, how they spray. That takes us to runoff into the water.....it wont runoff of turf but you need to understand it DOES runoff of farm land, bare soil. It is just easier to target busniesess than farms.

And you're still here selling your snake oil solution to a problem with mosquitoes. I don't care what you use to spray, you continue to ignore the fact that spraying does essentially nothing to control mosquitoes. Sure, it might kill off some of the adult population for a short while and lessen the amount of feeding females in an area for a brief period of time. However, the problem will quickly return when the hundreds of eggs that were laid before the adults were killed begin to mature.

I get it from your business perspective, you find one sucker who falls for your pitch and when the mosquitoes return, they're now asking you to come back and spray again.

For those of us not dumb enough to fall for this trap, find ways to kill the eggs/larva/pupa and break the cycle.

Pitch?? Really?? No pitch, people call me. I spray to help stop the spread of disease. To help pets and families live comfortably. You cant believe all the hate in the media, we are trained and use products responsibly. I also use only whats needed. And spraying a lawn for mosquitoes, thats a waste and a media story to influence you that all applicators are bad. I spray shrubs and trees, where the mosquitoes are. I dont over apply or waste any products for the sake of a dollar. The war on pesticides WILL...cannot emphasize enough to WILL, become a huge health risk. Malaria and dengue fever are now in MD. Fact, not a scare tactic. We have products to help prevent disease, but people seem to prefer the disease over a way to prevent it. I am licensed by the Maryland Department of Agriculture in alot of categories, including Public Health. I take all of my licenses very seriously and do everything i can BEFORE anything is applied.

Oh good lord... please just stop trying to convince people to spray.

SPRAYING IS USELESS. PERIOD!

It doesn't matter what you spray or where you spray.

Go ahead and actually read this study: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0001706X18308106

Or, google many of the others conducted, especially after Zika emerged and there were several efforts looking at the best ways to combat the spread of the disease. Spraying was the least effective method.

The only thing viable solution is to intentionally create standing water sources laced with BTI to help mitigate the adult mosquito population.
