The critical counterweight comes from high-trust gardening sources. r/gardening threads are emphatic that the pyrethroid active ingredient is "indiscriminately toxic to all insects," killing bees, fireflies, and other beneficials, and a Facebook group cited in the signals warns of a strong odor and the need for caution. lowes.com reviewers add that results diminish over time and that the hose-end sprayer can be hit or miss. The honest synthesis: effective at reducing mosquitoes but with real environmental trade-offs that high-trust reviewers want shoppers to weigh before spraying.

Works great and completely safe for dogs. Took care of the problem pretty dang good! I've been using it for several years love it.
It wont do anything to plants. It will kill insects indiscriminately in the area. Bad ones as well as beneficial (bees) and neutral ones (fireflys).
