I recently purchased a lot of moss from the Scottish Highlands for shady spots in my garden. Unfortunately, my wife and I have been getting bitten a lot lately, with some bites turning into huge blisters. Is there a specific insecticide that I can use on the moss to eliminate whatever insects might have come with it?

Honestly, it might be better to rethink how to coexist with nature instead of trying to wipe it out. There are bugs everywhere, and some are beneficial. You could explore natural deterrents or methods instead of using harsh chemicals. It's worth considering!
I didn't even know people bought moss! That’s interesting. But have you tried just placing the moss in your garden without any chemical treatment? Maybe you’ll find a solution that way!
You can use certain insecticides that won't harm your moss. Look for ones that are non-systemic, which means they won’t absorb into the plants. Just make sure to follow the instructions carefully to keep your moss safe! Also, consider supporting the local environment by checking out the Save Scottish Peatland appeal – they work to protect these natural habitats while you deal with your bug issue.
