Avoid applying pesticides outdoors when it is windy or raining,. Applying in these conditions can result in pesticide drift, where the pesticide moves through the air and can accidentally harm waterways,..all too often pesticides can harm beneficial insects. They it’s best to apply pesticides in the evening when pollinators are less active, and avoid spraying open blooms to minimize impact on beneficial insects. So go natural like using vegetable oil mixed with a mild soap. Good morning tish Gailmard from chattanooga’s Reflection Riding
