Hello, I have an unusual situation. I am growing outdoors and my state/county has chosen to do aerial sprays of insecticides to combat the mosquito-borne illness EEE. Quote from the article
"Aerial spraying is being done with the Merus 3.0 organic pesticide, which contains 5% pyrethrin and can be harmful to bees. While state officials have said that they spray at night due to the fact that most bees are in their hives, beekeepers have stated that not only are wild honeybees killed off, but that entire hives can be destroyed by the chemicals. "

Do I harvest immediately? In my opinion even covering the plants doesnt sound like enough to ensure to sprays dont hit my plants. Thank you
