Question

Is this herbicide dangerous to birds, squirrels, and chipmunks?

Greenhouse Anderson

Top Answerer

Herbicides are plant poisons, so they can be dangerous. These animals typically don't eat raspberry plants, so it's unlikely they'll be harmed. You can remove the raspberries manually without chemicals.
