RE: spraying for bugs, etc. when and what

The Grubex that contains Imidacloprid is not legally labeled for use on
vegetables. However the agriculture products that contain Imidacloprid
(Admire, Provado, Gaucho, etc) are used on consumable vegetables everywhere.

It's all in the language on that label.

When in doubt search the following website for the brand names I just
mentioned.

Subject: spraying for bugs, etc. when and what

hi - i'm noticing a lot of the blasted Japanese beetles flying around
the yard, sure to be a bumper crop of grub worms soon.  I've got a
bag of GrubEX to put on the lawn to put a dent in the grub worm
crop.  Just wondering if it was ok to use this stuff near the
pumpkins?  I assume it would be.

Also, I saw some bifenthrin granules at the local Ace hardware but
not sure if that would be preferable for combating various bugs here
in the Boston area.  i've got lots of grubex - not sure if it would
do the job as well.


Also, is it ok to let the grubex pellets fly around the pumpkin
leaves, etc. or does it cause problems?

Same thing for bifenthrin - if I should use bifenthrin what's the
best way to apply it?


thanks - jason
