Mosquito Control: Science, Risks, and Solutions<\/h1>\n

With a flier in the mail or a door-to-door sales visit, you\u2019ll notice many mosquito control companies offering to spray your yard this time of year.\u00a0Though this may seem like a quick and easy way to deal with mosquitoes, it\u2019s often an ineffective control strategy. Worse, these insecticides are toxic to pollinators and other beneficial insects and may pose a risk to people, too. Join us to discuss what we know about the risks residential mosquito sprays pose to pollinators, including data from a Xerces Society study investigating insecticide drift into neighboring yards.<\/p>\n

The good news: mosquito control doesn\u2019t have to be toxic. We will also discuss practical, more effective methods of mosquito control in residential landscapes and communities, with policy solutions for mitigating harm from mosquito control services.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
