Why We Don’t Spray Blooms: Protecting Pollinators at DC Mosquito Defense

At DC Mosquito Defense, we’re committed to keeping your outdoor spaces comfortable and ecologically balanced. While our mission is to control mosquitoes, we also prioritize the safety of pollinators like bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects that are essential to our environment.

One simple but powerful rule we follow: we never spray blooms.

Why Are Blooms So Important?

Blooms aren’t just beautiful—they’re essential. Flowers provide nectar and pollen, the primary food sources for pollinators. When these blossoms are sprayed with pesticides or repellents, it can contaminate the nectar and harm the very insects that help our gardens grow and our ecosystems thrive.

How We Target Mosquitoes Responsibly

Our technicians are trained to identify and avoid blooming plants during treatments. Instead, we focus on areas where mosquitoes breed and rest—like dense vegetation, shady corners, under decks, and near standing water. This targeted approach allows us to dramatically reduce mosquito populations while minimizing the impact on helpful insects.

Bee-Friendly. Butterfly-Safe. Family-Focused.

Protecting pollinators isn’t just good environmental practice—it’s good gardening, good farming, and good sense. We’re proud to offer mosquito control that respects the natural balance of your outdoor space.

So the next time you see a bee hard at work in your garden, know that we’re doing our part to keep it safe.
