   I am at a new job and found about 10 gallons and a drum of it (Bromacil) in pellet form. It is a vegetation killer. It says it is not recommended to use around residential and recreation areas, but it does not have a label that says you can not use it for this purpose. I probably will just to use it on gravel parking areas or cracks to get rid of the stuff.
   
   Has anyone used it anywhere else and has anyone had experience using it near or by on the soil near landscapes or plant materials without toxicity?
   
   I think I will stick with with safer Roundup/pre-emergent around trees and other plant materials, unless some of you have used it around landscaping to take out grasses and weeds.
   
   Thank you for your response,

   I inherited some of that stuff too once in an aerosol can and I used it on vegetation growing up through asphalt and along a street curb. I didn't have that much to use up a couple of cans, but it worked good from what I remember. I'd google it and see what a label says about using it. I also remember using a mask too, because it smelled like it could kill more than just vegetation!

   Our owner found a bag of it under his sink in his garage one day while cleaning it out. I had no clue what it was and one of my vendors said it was good for gravel areas and anywhere you wanted nothing to grow. He specifically said to not spray it near trees though. We ended up putting it out on a gravel parking pad in our RV storage area. If I were you, I would do the same.
