Beneficial Insects

Our plant-based products will kill bees if you spray them directly. But they won’t leave behind a toxic residue that kills them indirectly. If you use our plant-based spray products as directed, they will repel bees and other beneficial insects, but not harm or kill them. In other words, don’t spray bees or other beneficial insects directly, and they should be fine.

Additionally, Maggie's Farm bait products do not pose any threats to beneficial insects since they are not attractive to pollinators, are not applied in the areas where pollinators feed (flowering plant tops) and are applied in very small amounts.
