We completely agree with this statement.  In this day an age of concrete 
and black top runoff is cerntianly a problem to take into account when 
applying chemicals.  We always try to use a Propane Torch to eliminate 
the weeds in and around sidewalks, etc-easy to use, safe, no runoff 
problems, and no over-spray.

This is not to say we do not use Preen, Roundup, or Traflan.  We use each 
as the area or desired results dictate.  We also use as little as 
possible to accomplish the task and as someone else mentioned we always 
read the directions carefully.  It is everyones responsibility to protect 
our environment.  Specking of protecting please remember to wear 
appropriate protective equipment when using any chemical which is only 
commom sense but sometimes in our haste to get a project done we forget.
