Please don't spray your yard for mosquitoes and avoid pesticides. You might think you're targeting one thing and you are not.
In fact, pesticides can drift from ag fields as far as 15 feet, so there is an example of how those toxins are not containable.

Last year, when 200 monarchs died, testing confirmed pesticide poisoning by multiple chemicals. The pesticides were likely used by a local resident or business. We all need to work together to reduce the use of harmful pesticides and protect monarchs and other wildlife.
