And since when are we calling these pesticides? I thought pesticides were chemicals to kill insects or animals, and herbicides were to kill plants we don't want. Did I miss the memo or something?

Insecticides, fungicides, herbicides are all pesticides. I agree with you about the neighbor with the weedy lawn. My lawn is immaculate, but I have a neighbor who has every weed in the book growing on his lawn and he does nothing about it. I finally complained about him last year. All he has to do is mow it and the city is happy. Mean while I have crack grass and Canada thistle creeping from his lawn onto mine. Crack grass is damn hard to get rid of.
