The spectracide,triazicide granuals, is it safe to use around vegetable gardens as barrier around your plants?

Answer 1

I just looked on the company's web site, and although the product does not have any systemic properties it is very potent and has a pretty strong hazard label.
I would NOT use it on any vegetables that have come into flower because with the fruit soon to follow you would not want to eat what the fruit has somehow absorbed. Also before you put it down, consider this...Do you and your family walk through that garden barefoot? Do you tend to pick and eat off the vine? Do you have pets that follow you around the garden and then clean their paws? don't know what you are trying to kill, but try Boric Acid instead it is friendlier!

Answer 2

Careful using toxic chemicals they are absorbed into the plant which you consume and are also absorbed through the skin...there is also recent news that insecticides enter into breast milk and passed on to infants. Look for herbal remedies instead. There are some flowers you can plant in with your veggies that deter insects, like marigolds and I'm sure there are others. Do the research...don't poison your food to kill insects...you're gonna eat it.

Answer 3

Always read the label, it will tell you everything you need to know, including use and directions, etc. It is illegal to use a product in a manner that is inconsistent with its labeling. You can find the label in the packaging or go to the manufacturers website. They must provide a label, it is the law.
