Wilko Ant & Insect Killer Spray

[jonesypeter]

Hi,

Something has been eating my pepper and aubergine plants in the greenhouse so I sprayed with the above product.

Wilko Ant & Insect Killer Spray 1L at wilko.com

Have a been very stupid or would this spray be OK. I would rather throw the plants away if there is a risk.

Many thanks

If it says on the can "do not breathe spray" then I wouldn't want to eat it either.
The bit where it says "keep children and pets away from area until dry" should give you a clue there. The stuff is toxic.

Put it down to experience and chuck them out.

This article shows that the chemical it contains is used on crops....but it's use is very questionable apparently.......
