Ortho Bug B Gon Max question
My wife inadvertantly used Ortho Bug B Gon Max spray on a row of lettuce and
mustard. The bottle does not list this particular vegetable at all on the outside of the label, and the inside of the label has been damaged to the point where I can't read it. Does anyone have any information about using this on lettuce and mustard? Should I destroy the plants, or can they be eaten after a certain amount of time? |

Keslick, Jr. Arborist http://home.ccil.org/~treeman and www.treedictionary.com Beware of so-called tree experts who do not understand tree biology. Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions keep reminding us that we are not the boss.

Labeling does matter. It is a federal law violation to use any controlled pesticide not in accordance with the label. If the label defines how the product can be used on that crop and the instructions are followed there should not be a problem. John |

Don't be ridiculous. Why would anyone go to the manufacturer's site for information about their products? If you can't contribute something useful, please go away. |

Hunt down the label on the web..call the manufacturer..read another label on a product at the store. If the product is not made for the plants destroy the plants. Lar |

The only information the gentleman could give me was they could not recommend consuming any non-listed vegetable. Suckage. Well, look on the bright side. I have 15 pepper plants left over that I need a place for - now I have room for them LOL. Moral of the story - don't let your wife get near your garden with bug spray! |
