Hello!
My HOA uses toxic herbicides and I have asked them to stop using them. I mentioned I would be happy picking the weeds but they suggested I offer a suggestion for a safe herbicide for the landscaping company to use. Can you let me know what is the safest/least toxic for neighborhoods in Central Oregon (Bend)?
Thanks so much for your guidance!

Hi Lisa,
Thanks for responding. They use a product call Chetah Pro. I’ll ask what they are trying to kill and get back to you.
Thanks so much!
