This is what a Notice of Pesticide* Application looks like – it’s from our oddly-named San Francisco Recreation and Park Department.

Targeted for extermination are Cotoneaster, Pittosporum, and Arctotheca calendula. See?

Now, while the impoverished R&P is doing that, they’re also sprucing up, wait for it, the HQ building for the R&P.

*Or “herbicide” – sometimes people call herbicides “herbicides” instead of pesticides. Sometimes.
