    Q
    How do I use the spray but protect lady bugs, bees, and an American Goldfinch eating the seeds out of a plant.
    I chased away an American Goldfinch who was feasting on the seeds of a Sunflower plant I had sprayed a few hours earlier. It will probably die from this. I felt terrible. I also noticed 2 ladybugs just after I had sprayed. Even though I sprayed at 8:30 AM, a few bees flew up as well. Not good. My goal was to stop the grasshoppers who were decimating my bushes and flowers.
    A

    The Sevin Ready to Spray Insect Killer is toxic to bees, lady bugs, and other insect pollinators. There is no safe way to use this insecticide without the lady bugs also coming into contact with the treated surfaces.
