Molemax Use in Vegetable Garden #644812

Asked June 02, 2020, 11:47 AM EDT

My husband applied Molemax in all of my gardens, including my vegetable gardens (in and around the garden) as we have a terrible mole & gopher problem here in Ham Lake. Will Molemax be harmful to my vegetable plants - or better stated, is it safe to eat these vegetables (no actual vegetables are growing or on the plant yet) since there is now Molemax in the soil?

Thanks for the question.

Molemax is completely safe to use in a vegetable garden.

Here are some sites dealing with the control of moles and gophers:
