According to Ideal Bite:
- Of the top 18 most used lawn herbicides, 12 are known or possible carcinogens and 11 have been linked to birth defects.
- As many as 70 million birds die in the US due to chemicals used in lawn care. Herbicides can also run off into groundwater and beyond, killing fish and other aquatic life.
Want some friendlier options? Some people use just plain vinegar or a vinegar/soap combo (the dish soap helps it stick to leaves). Other people pour boiling water on them. Both have worked for me, but only one smaller weeds. For larger weeds, try one of these options:
Deadeye - made from vinegar
Wow - With Out Weeds - made from corn syrup by-product
Weed-Aside
