They spayed Glade last year, and there a ton of grass where they sprayed. They know what they are spraying that's still good for habitat. Land owners that spray their own stuff is a different story!

Doc, everything I have read said 2,4D's half life in water is less than 24 hours. And the concentration being used would not pose a problem for drinking water unless they sprayed a lot more acreage than they are.?

Depending on the chemical makeup, some forms have a half life of 180 days in aquatic sediment.

Yes, Glade got hit last year. Turned trees brown on the shoreline. It hurt what we were fishing at the time. A few years back the spraying killed what milfoil was
left in the lake. I havent found any in over 5 years.
