No microencapsulated formulations
Envirosafe has stopped using microencapsulated pesticide formulations in our regular pest-control program. Their pollen-sized capsules can cling to foraging bees and may be carried back to the colony.
Local protection with pollinators in mind
Envirosafe’s Save the Bees Initiative
Healthy Homes. Healthier Bee Habitat.
Envirosafe’s Save the Bees Initiative is our practical commitment to solving pest problems carefully while helping Gastonia and Gaston County homeowners create safer spaces for bees and other beneficial pollinators.
Ask About Pollinator-Conscious ServiceOur approach
Target the Pest. Respect the Habitat.
Responsible pest control begins with inspection and identification. We look for the source of the problem, choose focused treatment areas, and avoid unnecessary applications around blooming plants whenever practical.
- Inspect and identify before treating
- Use targeted treatment methods instead of broad applications
- Consider flowering plants, nesting areas and active pollinator zones
- Explain practical steps homeowners can take between visits

Specific Choices That Reduce Pollinator Risk
Bloom-aware applications
We identify flowering plants and active pollinator areas before outdoor service, then avoid direct treatment of open blooms and use timing or placement strategies that reduce exposure.
Targeted placement
We favor focused applications to documented problem areas, maintain equipment carefully and take practical steps to limit drift beyond the treatment zone.
Identify before acting
Honey bees, native bees, carpenter bees, wasps and hornets require different responses. Accurate identification comes before a treatment recommendation.
Relocation when practical
For honey-bee swarms or accessible colonies, beekeeper coordination or relocation may be considered when it is safe and practical for the property.
Prevention and follow-up
Sealing entry points, removing attractants and confirming that a correction worked can reduce the need for repeated treatments.
These practices align with pollinator-protection guidance from the U.S. EPA, University of Illinois Extension and UC Integrated Pest Management.

Simple Ways to Support Pollinators at Home
Plant for every season
Choose a mix of native flowers that bloom from spring through fall so pollinators have a more dependable food source.
Provide clean water
A shallow dish with stones or pebbles gives bees a safe landing place while they drink.
Leave small natural areas
A little bare soil, hollow stems and leaf litter can provide nesting or shelter for native bees.
Treat thoughtfully
Avoid applying products directly to open blooms or when pollinators are actively foraging. Follow labels and ask a professional when unsure.
A practical local initiative
What “Save the Bees” Means at Envirosafe
This initiative is not a promise that every treatment has zero impact. It is a commitment to informed choices: accurate identification, careful timing, appropriate products, targeted placement and honest communication.
If stinging insects are creating an immediate safety concern, we will help you understand the species, the location and the available options. Honey-bee swarms and established colonies may require coordination with a qualified local beekeeper when relocation is practical.
Protect your home, and make room for pollinators.
