Whether you know it or not, insects like honeybees, butterflies, and beetles have deceptively huge impacts not just on our own day-to-day lives, but on the health of the global ecosystem as well. As they travel and go about their own business, they carry pollen from one flower to another, cross-pollinating plants so they can reproduce.

There are many different kinds of pollinators, ranging from insects like honeybees to vertebrate animals like birds or bats. When pollinators are active, keep an eye out for their activity so you know when it’s best to treat your yard.

Honeybees are probably the most recognized pollinator, growing up to be about half an inch to just under 1 inch in length at maturity. They look similar to wasps, in that they’re both flying pests that have black and yellow markings. However, you can easily tell the two apart by noting the wasp’s smooth, slim, and shiny body, and comparing it with the honeybee’s smaller, plumper, furry body.

Other common pollinators include moths, butterflies, ladybugs, small birds, bats, and small lizards. The method of pollination is similar across these animals: as they search among flowers for nectar, the pollen from one flower will rub onto the creature’s body, and then onto more flowers.

Before using any pesticides, we recommend you wear your proper personal protective equipment or PPE. And remember to keep children and pets away from treated areas until the applications settle.

Supporting your lawn AND pollinators can mean making several adjustments to your current pesticide plan. The key to keeping pollinators safe as you treat your lawn is to use non-systemic insecticides. By properly using a non-systemic insecticide, you’ll be able to treat your property for targeted pests while avoiding pollinators entirely.

For a quick knockdown of pests, we recommend Pyrid Aerosol. Pyrid is made with pyrethrins, a group of botanical insecticides. When the aerosol makes contact with an insect, the product works by interfering with the pest’s central nervous system and quickly incapacitates it.

To control invasive pests such as cockroaches, house centipedes, or silverfish, we recommend you use Ficam Insect Bait. Ficam Insect Bait is a ready-to-use granular insecticide made with orthoboric acid. This insect bait kills slowly to reduce bait shyness.

Finally, the last product you can use to control pests on your turf is Bifen LP. Bifen LP is a bifenthrin-based insecticide that will provide long-lasting control of turf pests, like ants, chinch bugs, fleas, or even mole crickets.
