I'll just add that on to the long list of things I'm going to do if and when I ever retire. Of course, I'll have to buy a hazmat suit for myself and little ones for all the cats.
Do you take precautions, Rita? Do you wear a mask and do you stagger the applications so that you don't do too much in one day?
I remember a story from a few years ago about a woman in San Francisco who took a trip to England and was so charmed by the gardens there that she came home and bought 200 rose bushes for her garden. She treated them with a systemic rose fertilizer-fungicide-pesticide and dropped down dead. I forget the name of the particular preparation she used, but it was one of the ones put out by a big oil company. Her family sued the company and the company's defense was that no one should treat more than 25 rose bushes on any given day.
