Frequently Asked Questions
Q&A
Are the chemicals used to treat my landscape safe?
Yes. The products we use are professionally formulated, EPA-approved materials that are applied at labeled rates and according to strict guidelines. When used properly, they are safe for people and pets once dry. We also take care to apply treatments precisely and only when needed, minimizing environmental impact while still delivering effective results. If you ever have specific concerns about a product, we’re happy to provide details and answer any questions.
Will rain impact the effectivness of the treatments?
Not necessarily. Most of our liquid lawn treatments are designed to dry and absorb into the leaf surface within a few hours. Once dry, rainfall will not reduce effectiveness. In fact, some products — like granular fertilizers or pre-emergent applications — actually benefit from light rainfall or irrigation to move them into the soil.
If heavy rain is expected immediately after your scheduled treatment, we monitor the forecast and may adjust timing when necessary to ensure you get the best possible results.
Do your mosquito control services negatively affect pollinators, such as honeybees and butterflies?
Certain pesticides can potentially be harmful to pollinators, and for that reason, we do not use those specific products ( usually containing neonicotinoids.)
In addition, we take certain precautions such as:
-
Not spraying within 10ft. of flowering plants or shrubs.
-
Not spraying within 10ft. of plants or shrubs on the verge of flowering.
-
Not spraying within 10ft. of vegetable gardens.
-
Taking wind speed and direction into consideration during our applications, to avoid impacting any neighboring honeybee populations.
