We take care to reduce any chances of harming bees with our mosquito spraying because we recognize that bees are vitally important to the functioning ecosystem. Bees are integral to both humans and plants alike because these insects pollinate over 80% of all flowering plants, including about 70 of 100 top human food crops!
Pyrethrum can be toxic to flying insects, including bees, when it is wet. This is why we take great care to deploy our systems when bees are the least active and when they are the least likely to be directly affected by our mists or fogs. Our automatic misting systems deploy typically two to four times per day in the early morning before dawn and in the late evening after dusk. We also use a quick-drying formula to minimize harm to beneficial insects.
