This shouldn't be that big of an issue. Spot treatment of Hi-Yield Killzall or go all ghetto and make a strong salt water mix. Or get all 50's on it. On your hands and knees with a screw driver. It's not like this is a hop latent viroid on a high value crop that is threatening the other 30,000sqft. Just spray them with something easy or pull the motherfuckers. [Reply]

Glad you came out of the spill OK. Some aren’t so lucky.
If it got in your eyes it might be a different story.
But you definitely need a carbon filter and eye protection if you’re going to use a hand sprayer.
It was in a backpack spray tank and somebody was taking it off the back of a truck and the spray wand got ripped off the hose under pressure. I saw a blue wave coming at my face and turned away but got it all over my shirt. I washed my shirt and then threw it in the garbage and worked the rest of the day shirtless.
DEP regulations were almost non existent 30 years ago. Dursban and chlordane were used regularly for termites. I think chlordane has like a 400 year residual. I treated my house with termidor (which is basically merit) less toxicity and longer residual and it works better because It destroys the colony. [Reply]

Hell, I was in the yard today. Grass is not growing but found a patch of clover doing well.. Get the 24d from the basement
I have a sprayer with fold out wands to pull behind my garden tractor and use Trimec every spring to keep the neighbors creeping ****ing crab grass out of my lawn. Seems to be working well. $46 for a gallon at Tractor Supply and recenty found it for a little less at the big Nixa hardware store. [Reply]

Well to tell you how this ended, about 3 weeks after I used the whole 1 gallon jug of Ortho Groundclear on my puny rock lawn with nasty weeds that enjoyed the poison, I got a letter from the community property manager.
Either the weeds go or I go.
Since I just wasted $35 fertilizing the weeds with poison and watching the fuckers grow 3-4 feet high, I knew it was time to go full Rambo.
I went to Home Depot and bought "The Torch" for $32 and two 16oz pony bottles of propane. The torch looks like a silver cane old people use with a soft grip at the handle, an adapter at the top end to attach the propane, an auto starter halfway down the tube, an on/off dial and a small metal flare put tube at the bottom to concentrate the flame.
I came home and for 3 1/2 hours I personally met and burned every single mother fucking weed on my property and a few stragglers from the neighbors.
This week the property manager said I had the clearest yard of weeds in the community and was shocked how clean and clear the yard was. I also made sure to burn off some brush and loose vegetation that was dried out.
