Product Review: Safer Brand 5085 Tomato & Vegetable Insect Killer

As you all know, we have a garden again this year. We did pretty well with it last year, just had some issues with watermelons and local canines (who knew they liked them?) and the birds (as per normal with a garden). We kept it organic last year and want to do the same this year! 


We've got plenty of tomatoes, zucchini, corn, peppers, onions and beans planted. Plus some of the lettuce from last year has come back on it's own (hint- field greens!). Showing Kiddo how to grow organic veggies is wonderful- I watch my dad and her in the garden and have flashbacks to me with my grandfather, doing the same!


One thing that grandpa did NOT have was Organic Sprays to keep the bugs away! he made his own concoctions and they worked for the most part, but his constant attention is what kept the gardens bug free! We've already had gardening alerts for our area that tomato bugs may be rampant this year! So we had already started looking for an organic spray for them, when I found the Safer Brand 5085 Tomato and Vegetable Spray available for review on the Amazon Vine Review Program- AHA- serendipity!


The Tomato and Vegetable Insect Killer Spray combines the effectiveness of pyrethrin and potassium salts of fatty acids (aka NATURAL byproducts) to kill insects on contact, but not harm your plants. Best of all the Tomato and Vegetable Insect Killer is gentle on your plants and soil. Unlike synthetic chemicals, it will not leave residuals on your veggies or soil, as it breaks down into its natural state in 5-7 days! Woo hoo! 


Safer Brand Tomato and Vegetable Insect Killer Spray is designed to be used on asparagus, beans, broccoli, brussel sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, cucumbers, eggplant, herbs, kale, lettuce, peppers, potatoes, squash and tomatoes. 

This product kills aphids, asparagus beetles, bean beetles, cabbage loopers, caterpillars, Colorado potato beetles, cucumber beetles, diamond back moth, fleas beetles, imported cabbageworm, leafhoppers, plant bugs, tomato hornworm and whiteflies. 

The ability to use Safer Brand Tomato and Vegetable Insect Killer on a wide array of other vegetables makes it a very economical and convenient solution to garden insects, AND your wallet!  

Apply on your garden confidently knowing this product bears the prestigious OMRI Listed seal as well as the USDA National Organic Program seal for use in Organic Gardening. These seals ensure this product is developed using organic materials. 

Safer Brand Tomato and Vegetable Insect Killer is designed to be used on asparagus, beans, broccoli, brussel sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, cucumbers, eggplant, herbs, kale, lettuce, peppers, potatoes, squash and tomatoes! Woo hoo, that covers everything in our garden, except the zucchini (we tried it anyways-we'll see if it helps!). It kills aphids, asparagus beetles, bean beetles, cabbage loopers, caterpillars, Colorado potato beetles, cucumber beetles, diamond back moth, fleas beetles, imported cabbageworm, leafhoppers, plant bugs, tomato hornworm and whiteflies. See, an all in one spray!

You apply the product at the first sign of insects, thoroughly moistening all plant surfaces where insects are feeding or resting. You then apply every 7-10 days when insects are present, or as needed to prevent damage. AND it can be used up until the day of harvest! Yippee! Simple and easy!


We've applied some to our tomato plants and so far so good! We've got tomatoes! 


So if you want to keep your garden organic this year and be able to enjoy a full harvest of  tomatoes and vegetables, think about using Safer Brand Tomato and Vegetable Insect Killer too!
