I was thinking about having a professional service (mosquito squad) come and spray my yard for mosquitos. I don't know for sure, but I believe it is a foliar application. I just sprayed triclopyr on about a quarter of my lawn yesterday. Will these interfere with each other? I'm mainly concerned if it will hurt the grass. Are pesticides hard on the lawn even on their own? I also considered the hose spray from home depot, but i don't like the idea of another chemical on the lawn. Does it hurt anything?
Thanks

Re: Will pesticides and herbicides interfere
In general, herbicides and insecticides don't affect each other. The "does it hurt anything?" question is tougher - insecticides are fairly broad-spectrum and kill many more "non-target" beneficial insects than they do "targets" like mosquitoes. Also, numerous insecticides work on the nervous systems of insects and there is conjecture about whether they have effects on humans.
