High-aromatic solvents such as power kerosine are well known for their
killing abilities, and in the old (before round-up) days we would
chemically
trim the lawn outside the factory with this and similar solvents. Knocks
'em dead! Also, a soap solution (Na/K Oleate) can be sprayed on to fruit
trees to kill various bugs and some fungi.. If you have a dank dark
gloomy
patio with concrete that grows a green slime/lichen in the winter, then
fill
a watering can with 50% ethanol (denatured or otherwise) and sprinkle on
to
the dry surface, and the green muck will disappear in about two days.
Vodka
works too.

Let's also go back to using used motor oil and eliminate these nasty
pesticides
