This link gives an example of Roundup being declared a restricted use
chemical; (can anyone from this part of the country comment?):

thread.

Dave, I think it may depend on where you live. It is my
understanding
that
some countries have banned or restricted its use.

A few communities in Canada have outlawed the cosmetic use of
herbicides.
That is mainly against the broadcasting of lawn weedkillers, but can
include
other chemicals and uses as well (not sure if Roundup is on the list).
But
that was not what I was thinking of when I mentioned that Roundup is
"recommended" for use by non-professionals.

Personally I find Killex to be more irritating than Roundup. I use
lawn
weedkillers as little as possible (I use a hand spray-bottle, and
squirt
directly on the weeds), but will pull weeds by hand if practical,
which
unfortunately it sometimes is not.
