They breed in extremely small amounts of water, sometimes less than a tablespoon.
Do mosquito misters harm pollinators?
Our applications target dense shaded foliage where mosquitoes rest, not flowering plants where bees forage. We use pyrethrin-based products that break down quickly in sunlight and avoid blooming flowers and herb gardens. Timing matters, we typically treat in early morning or evening when pollinators are less active.
