Many mosquitoes do not fly during the daytime, so our spray would be less effective. Also, sunlight produces thermal air currents which tend to make the spray mist rise up into the sky instead of staying down low where the mosquitoes fly. Most importantly, we attempt to minimize human exposure to our insecticides, and this is not possible during daytime hours. Another important consideration is the risk to beneficial insects such as bees, ladybugs and dragonflies, which are also active during the day.
