Why are Aedes mosquitoes such a big deal?
Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus are invasive species that became established in San Diego in the last decade. Unlike native mosquitoes, they bite during the day, are aggressive, and can transmit diseases like Zika, dengue, and chikungunya. 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.
