insecticides and squash plants - HELP!

11 years ago

Gardening newbie. Squash/zucchini/cucumber plants had some yellowing leaves, and we noticed spider mites. Decided to use ortho fruit flower and vegetable direct trigger spray on the affected plants...well, they are quite misleading. Just found out squash/cucurbits are not a listed veggie on the product label. What should I do? I already hosed down the plants (the same product except with hose attachment does list squash/cucurbits on the label) my hopes are that the veggies will still be safe now that they are hosed down and the pesticide is diluted (as it would be with the other product). Anybody have any input? Safe or should I rip out the plants? :(
