Nearby herbicide use Q

[mfollen]

Hey reefers

my reef tank is on ground level, in a room with windows where my lawn is outside.

I having some weeds that I need to take care of in the lawn outside the room that the tank is in.

If applying herbicide, is there potential of any evaporation of an applied broadleaf herbicide from the lawn into the air?

I have an AC unit in the windows of the fish room near the lawn, so I want to make sure I take any precautions I can to prevent any herbicide from entering the room through the air.

Thank you very much.

Keep your windows closed and your good.

I'd find an alternate way to cool the room, shut off and plastic wrap the AC unit outside, spray, then wait 4 hours. un bag AC and turn it on.

Most AC units do not exchange outside air with inside air unless it has a special feature to do so.
