I have a bad clover problem here in the DC area. As much as I hate to use
chemicals, I may have to. We are planning to take a 3 week vacation
starting at the beginning of August.

Would I do damage to my grass if I sprayed a weedkiller on right before we
left, so as to minimize our exposure to it?

I love clover, especially red, but crimson is pretty and is a good
cover crop. Yellow sweet clover - I love the smell, although I think
its in the pea family and not really a clover. You probably have white
clover, which I also have plenty of. I need to buy some crimson clover
seed - I haven't grown that in a few years.

Thanks for the reminder! Can't help with with weedkillers - never used
them. Mowing seems to keep white clover looking tidy.
