If you use weed killer in your garden and had elderly neighbours could it affect their health as some of the chemicals are dangerous?

But as long as I don't get it in their garden will they be ok?

The main ingredient is glyphosate which if need be ill buy something without it

Thanks

Unless they drink it, it's not going to harm them. Weedkiller sold to the public is very dilute

Yes, if your elderly neighbours come into your garden and eat your grass. You should probably put up signs.

Haha no they wouldn't. But can it go in the air and travel?

[EnglishEuropean]

You might be exposed while you're spraying it but after that it should settle on the ground.

Id suggest weeding by hand. You don't need to kill all the good bugs too

I've heard some of the weed killer causes cancer.

Can it affect my neighbour though or just the user?
