That used to be sodium arsenate.
Now it is glyphosate (Roundup active) with imazapyr, a persistent and mobile herbicide.

probably the first one, this was at least 15 years ago and the can was ancient then, you know, one of those in the deep dark recesses of the basement next to the Isotox, Chlordane and bag of DDT powder. No bugs at BB's place ;)

When I got rid of it all a few years back, they had a pesticide/chemical free drop off at the local landfill. Guy was unloading the stuff and kept saying; Jesus Christ, Oh My God, Hey Bill, look at this shit!

I never gave the trips to Mexico "all inclusive resorts" a second thought;

I've also been reading some articles about Mexican hospitals holding tourists hostage for exorbitant medical bills, but yet I've heard some good things about medical tourism in Mexico, so the juries still out on that in my mind.

and while I'm on a roll, how about undisclosed hotel and resort fees?
