Can you see the relation to Diquat which is still being used in combination with the pyrethroids as ornamental lawn spray in Florida?

Or even the diquat with glyphosate mixes that are found in Roundup products sold over the counter!

When will we connect the dots ?!!

There are always natural solutions that are far better…unfortunately they aren’t as profitable to the companies that sell us the synthetic garbage.
