Mosquito control

[KDM]

Fargo (and surrounding communities) hasn't requested our services as of yet. As with anything on the GOVT side, there is a fair number of requirements and amount of paperwork that need to be accomplished prior to our arrival on site ready to do battle with the bugs.

I have 2 gallons of Malathion (aka napalm) --- I am going to mix that stuff with as little water as possible and bomb em tonite as soon as the rain stops.

Thought just crossed my mind. What would these insecticides do to bees? I have a couple apple trees and other flowers around. would like to make sure I'm not killing the good guys.

Be careful with such thoughts , Next thing you know you will be accused of wearing a tin hat or that you should go live on hippie island.

FWIW I don't know much about insecticides and how much harm they do to pollinators but If you spray just before dark when your bees are home after work they should be safe.

Another .80" yesterday. I'll be spraying the Cutter Backyard bottle by Sunday evening so it can hopefully last through the Labor Day weekend.

If y'all don't see another post from me by Monday, just assume the cloud of mosquitoes carried me away!:;:help

What is the mosquitoes identify themselves as bee's. They have that right you know.
Poor little fellers spent their bee life trapped in a mosquitoes body.

I received a negative comment from someone in my notifications concerning this thread. I was told to grow up haha.

It wasn't me. But I was wondering if you were bragging or complaining ?
