Is it safe to use Ortho on vegetables in a vegetable garden?

My vegetable garden has ants and bugs, how can I get rid of them? I purchased a bottle of Ortho flower and vegetable insect killer. Is that a safe solution, I am a first time gardener.

First of all, always wash your produce from the veggie garden to remove any dust or sprays. Next I will refer you to this website http://www.ortho.com/smg/goprod/ortho-flower-fruit-vegetable-insect-killer-ready-to-use-/prod10720054/ It has the information on what products to use safely around your vegetable garden. Hope there are no more ants in your plants. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
