Garden Safe

Gardeners care more than ever about how their flowers and vegetables grow. The Garden Safe® line offers gardeners alternative pest and disease control options to keep their gardens beautiful and bountiful — and give them the peace of mind that comes with responsible gardening.

GardenGarden Safe: Going Green
For gardeners seeking new alternatives to control garden pests, Garden Safe™ Brand Insect Sprays offer natural botanical pyrethrins that kill all stages of insects on contact, provide a residual effectiveness on mites, and can be used on edibles up to the day of harvest.

Garden Safe Brand Insect Sprays
combine two active ingredients to enhance and increase duration of effectiveness. Pyrethrin, a botanical insecticide made from an extract of chrysanthemum flowers, affects the nervous system of many insects and kills them on contact in all stages, including the eggs. Canola oil acts as a synergist to increase the duration of residual effectiveness, but is considered gentler on plants than additives found in many other pyrethrin products.

Three different Garden Safe Brand Insect Sprays can be purchased at home centers, major mass merchandisers and independent garden centers and nurseries nationwide:

  • Garden Safe Brand Houseplant and Garden Insect Spray: Ideal for indoor and outdoor use on plants and foliage to get rid of pests such as thrips, whiteflies, mealybugs, fungus gnats, aphids, ants, mites and Japanese beetles. Available in 12 oz. and 24 oz. trigger spray bottles.
