What is a safe roach granular to use in a vegetable garden?

I am having a problem with Oriental roaches in my vegetable garden and in my yard. I need something safe to use in my vegetable garden and something that won't harm the worms and bees that I have worked hard to cultivate.

Answer:

There is not a granular insecticide labeled to treat directly on edibles or inside the dripline  for roaches. You can treat with Maxforce Complete Granules in Bait Plate Stations. The product contains hydramethylnon which is not labeled to be used near edible vegetation and can only be used in bait stations or around the outer perimeter of the garden area. We also carry other professional Roach Control Products that can be used inside the structure and outside the dripline of the garden.
