    Default Insecticide

    Had a decent looking garden growing until the last few days. Storm killed most of my corn, squash dies on the vine and my cabbage is getting eaten. We’re growing serious okra and peppers though.

    I need something I can spray to kill insects. Been using Sevin but it’s not working. What’s the best thing to use.
    Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

    I used Bifen for general pest control in an around the house and it’s great but….

    Bifen IT is not labeled to treat edible plants and should not be used on or near where it could come into contact with your garden

    Not trying to be argumentive but genuinely curious as I use Bifen a lot. Wouldn't using it in your house for general pest control allow for possible contact with items that you eat from your garden?

    I'm just stating what the label states. But to answer your question, I think I'm okay spraying my baseboards and thresholds.

    Doesn’t work that way. Maybe the label you got is labeled only for household and yards. Other labels/concentrations might be rated for all those things and vegetables. Some labels are only labeled for vegetables and turf. But you don’t have to take my word for it…
