Does it kill pollinators such as bees and butterflies? I hope not.

It's a dormant season oil, you would not use it when things are leafed out and blooming. It is meant to smother overwintering eggs. Basically wax.

Horticultural oils should be harmless to bees and butterflies if you don't spray them directly. It works mostly on soft bodied insects like scale and aphids by suffocating them. Any insect not directly covered by the spray is unaffected.

The powder that is in the trap may kill them. I noticed they have killed moths and other flying insects.

Nope. This is a personal repellant, that works in wind-free environment. It does not attract or kill.

As far as I know, it kills any insect. It just stinks quite a bit because it contains Petroleum Distillates.

Yes it kills pretty much all insects, unfortunately it wipes out bees as well. It's delayed reacting though, don't spray a hornet nest with it lol.

Drione dust would only help if you are able to apply directly to the holes the bees have bored. It will then kill the adults coming in and out of the holes, then when the larvae hatch, it will kill them when they come out of the hole

It says it won't harm plants or foliage but evidently isn't good for bees and butterflies. I sprayed it on all the vegetation around the yard including flowers and they seem fine 2 weeks later. The bigger problem is the spray bottle is a total piece of junk that will either a)not work at all, b) work for a few minutes before leaking profusely, or c) explode soaking everything around it. My advice: Buy a different brand...it can't be worse than this piece of garbage.

It says it kills them. I haven't used it for them specifically but it works for everything I have used it on.

If you dry and ground the flowers as an insecticide it will kill any insect, including bees. But if you're just growing it in your garden, you don't need to worry.

I don't know of anything contained in this product that would hurt bees. The smell might make them gag, but it really didn't seem to discourage bees from visiting flowers that had been sprayed, and the Liquid Fence had dried.

No. It is a systemic insecticide, which means the product becomes present in all the plant tissue, including the fruit. By its presence in the pollen and nectar of the fruit tree, it will also kill off the bees needed to pollinate the flowers and set fruit.

The short answer is: MAYBE (if the bees come into direct contact with the solution before it dries it could cause some problems). Once it dries, it should not present a problem, unless it happens to be on the pollen bearing parts of the plant flower AND is combined with any kind of insecticide. If that happens, the contact between the bee and that pollen surface will likely cause insecticide transfer to the bee, and, of course, would then be fatal to the bee. Virtually ALL insecticides will result in the same outcome if the bee has such contact. If insect (bee) absorbs the insecticide, directly or indirectly, the result is fatal. However, if ONLY a fungicide is used, then the bees will likely survive such contact. Hope that answers the question

Nope! Doesn't hurt them and doesn't deter them. We still have bees buzzing around our flowers - right under the product hanging on our porch. Both our fruit trees got pollinated and produced fruit.

No what they keep away are mosquitoes but they don't kill bees or butterflies. The seeds I scattered around two years ago have produced blossoms all over the place. It makes my lawn look more natural. They are a very hardy plant.

This product is used to kill insects in your home and garden. It is not for human consumption.
