I suggest that you add "Cheetah" to the list of herbicides. It is being used by landscapers as their new alternative to Roundup...and its not benign...Studies on mice have shown that it is a neurotoxin and can cause birth defects....It's components have been around a long time, but Cheetah is being heavily marketed to use to kill the weeds in GMO fields that have become resistant to Roundup...
