Did you know fireflies spend their first 2 years underground? 🌱

As larvae, they're quietly doing important work, eating slugs, cutworms, and mosquito larvae right there in your soil. They're natural pest control before they ever light up your yard.

But here's the thing: pesticides and herbicides don't know the difference between a pest and a firefly larva. Treat your lawn with chemicals and you're wiping out the very creatures that keep your soil healthy, feed your birds, and keep the food web intact.
Fireflies need tall grass, leaf litter, and undisturbed soil to survive. June along Houston's bayous is proof they're still out there, but only where we let them be.

Skip the spray. ✨
