I have a bad clover problem here in the DC area. As much as I hate

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?


What is wrong with clover? What catastrophe would ensue if you had clover
in your lawn?

The catastrophe is that it spreads to flower beds and crowds out plants
that you want to grow.
