Something I posted about a lobbyist, and how to properly use Roundup. [View all]

(I said that a lobbyist sounded like an idiot..)

That having been said, I will say the times I helped my Mom spray Roundup on her backyard brickwork, to get rid of weeds, we treated the spray like any other poison.

In other words, we were very careful, and if any got on either of us, we washed it off quickly.

My Mom still uses too much poisons around her house, including malathion.(sp?)

But we both take a lot of care and caution when doing so.

Mom gave me a bottle of bug spray for my own place to use later this year, I will use it outside on ants, mostly.
It has "Bifenthrin" and "Zeta-Cybermethrin" in it.

Ortho makes it.

I won't use this stuff inside where my cats are.
