They don’t. While it “targets” certain bugs, all pesticides kill broad groups, or effects them. If I’m not mistaken, by law they have to tell the public what they are spraying. Ask what it is and look it up online. The company that makes the pesticide has to tell you what is in it and what it does. Though, it might be buried somewhere. But the effects of the active ingredient(s) should be easy to find in an individual search.
