Does anyone know whether this product is safe to use on cedar used for vegetable garden raised beds?

I don't see why it couldn't, this product doesn't contain any silicones or linseed oil or petroleum products. To be sure however, I would contact the manufacturer at: http://www.howardproducts.com/ and ask them.

"Best Yet" chemical free red cedar spray is great. I haven't tried them for bed bugs but they are worth a try and it isn't toxic! Go to cedar-cidestore.com. Also I think a hair dryer might be better than a steamer. Then at least you won't get fabric and upholstery wet. Putting the infected items in a plastic bag and putting them in a car with windows rolled up that is sitting in the hot sun does the trick too.

I've used it numerous times on both flowering and evergreen shrubs/flowering plants. The only things it affected were flying/creeping eight-legged critters. No problems ever noted on landscape. You might call Suspend folks and ask them. They're very helpful folks. I asked about shelf life and got a lot of useful info. Good Luck!

I've had mine since last summer so I'm not sure how long it will last. I bought the cedar because I don't want the pretreated chemicals. They sell some that aren't cedar and are pretreated if that's what you want

It can certainly be sprayed on vegetables to clean them..but as far as killing bugs?..not sure on that one as this is such a mild product and meant to be mild enough to use on multiple items without caustic chemicals. If you're referring to a vegetable spray for use in a garden...I don't think this is your product.

I love this product; however, I would not use directly on vegetable plants. It is much safer to use around the plants than a weed killer like roundup, but you will need to be sure not to get any on your veggies.

I have used this on soil around delicate plants and it does not seem to effect them. This is a sollution meant to kill fungus gnat larvae and really serves no other purpose. I read through the information on the container and it says nothing with regard to dangers of using around fruits and vegetables. I do use this indoors.

Try reading the label. It is not for gardens! It is to be used by registered pest control professionals only. It should not even be sold on Amazon, especially to people that do not read the label!!

Yes. If I remember correctly, the two main ingredients are vinegar and clove oil. It will kill the vegetable plants if they are sprayed, but the components of the spray are non toxic and acceptable for organic vegetable gardening.

No, their label definitely states this product is for non-edible plants & not to use near ponds, lakes, streams etc'. Keep out of reach of childrenWe bought this for spider mite infestation on our indoor house plants & it worked very well for that sort of problem.

I have never tried the product for preventing squash borers. However I would expect it to be a useful deterrent given the basic premise for using the product to begin with and that is the jagged edges of the diatoms are intended to cut insects as they pass through the product. The product is inert so it will have no impact on your fertilizer.

I use it in raised beds because I have seen it on you tube that it was used. What it for I not exactly sure. Be careful with it

It's very safe for tomato and other plants. Unlike fertilizers, it will not "burn" or kill then plant when used as instructed.

Thank you for your interest in our Cedar Garden Bed Oil. It is made from a blend of natural vegetable and citrus oils, and it is specially formulated for cedar and other redwood planters. It gives the wood a rich, deep color and it will prevent the wood from turning silver or gray. It is also safe for surfaces that will come into contact with food. For optimal protection, reapply every 6 to 12 months.

Thankfully, I have no personal experience with these little devils but I DO know CedarCide is the best 'terminator' when it comes to insects. I have used CedarCide's Best Yet on my pets with much success for fleas as well as other creepy crawlers that invade the premises. From my experience, the pesky insects die within seconds of application & Best Yet has a lingering fresh cedar scent which acts as a deterrent against a recurrence. CedarCide advertises their Best Yet to be non-staining and, so far, the product has performed for me as the company claims. It has proven to truly non-toxic to everyone in this household - including my birds - this product, to me, is a miracle. I've even applied it to my young grandchildren as the most effective insect repellent EVER plus there are NO harmful chemicals which is very unusual even for most commercial insect repellents. Back to the bed bugs, because of CedarCide's effectiveness against bed bugs while not harming your mattresses, the effectiveness & safety of this product made it on the local news here as part of a report on the bed bug epidemic. CedarCide Best Yet also leaves a fresh cedar scent which repels insects.

I have the same situation with a flower garden surrounding my patio and have used the product for several years running with no harm done whatsoever! I believe the company addresses this very issue on their website. I just love this product and I know you will too!!! That being said, I wait until the garden needs watering and then I use the product exactly as directed. After I'm through I do water the garden to dilute the product but I really don't think it's necessary.

I have used it on fragile plants with great results but I would read the label first. If you don't have any of the solution please let me know and I be happy to check the label for you.
