DO NOT use Talstar on anything you plan on eating! It is nasty stuff. Read the label before applying any type of insecticide/fungicide on your vegetables. No problem with the giant pumpkin because you won't be eating that anyway. Always be careful with what you spray!!!

Talstar, yes (bifen IT is the cheaper generic) plus a systemic like Merit.
