natural kind of bacteria that kills the larva before the mosquitoes can mature.
There is no such thing as a non-toxic additive to a misting system.
You cannot find a mosquito misting system that uses a non-toxic liquid.
It's not possible because it's not.
They basically are using things like pyrethrum-based pesticides.
They're calling them non-toxic because they are derived from a chrysanthemum flower
And guys, here's the deal.
They're neurotoxic.
And so if they're designed to go after the insect in a neurological way, they actually act on the nerve cells.
And so what they're doing is they're keeping the nerve door open so that it's constantly firing.
It's like a light switch that if you were meant to turn it on and off, it just stays on constantly.
So basically, the nervous systems of these insects are so...
you know, hypervigilant that they actually end up going into like paralyzation and then they die.
But here's the deal, we are also organic, right?
We have cells just like insects, you know?
And so it's not, we're not above these things.
And again, when we're exposing ourselves, especially in like a misting system that's constantly spraying and kind of those small particulates that get lodged in your lungs,
Obviously, I'm from Texas, so all my neighbors have missing systems, so I'm speaking to this.
And then there's mosquito trucks that come once a week down the street.
I mean, it's wild that we still live in a day where this is really happening, but it is.
