Spring is Weed Season, but consider Pet Friendly Alternatives
As a dog owner, I always have been concerned about using weed killers with that are not safe for pets. I am sure that there are other products/brands out there, but WGN, HouseSmarts host Lou Manfredini, spoke about the Spruce product. As marketed, Spruce is a fast-acting weed & grass killer that delivers visible results in one hour – and is safe for use around people and pets, when used as directed. There are many pending lauwsuits involving weed killers that contain glyphosate. Importantly, Spruce Weed & Grass Killer does not contain this alleged carcinogen. Instead, it uses a non-glyphosate, essential oil-based formula consisting of sodium lauryl sulfate, geraniol, and cornmint oil to dehydrate and kill weeds. It is designed as a fast-acting, contact herbicide suitable for use around people and pets when used as directed.
Many people making small everyday decisions will have a positive impact on the environment.
