Roundup has some positives (i.e. it breaks down once inside the plant it kills into fairly innocuous substances), but before then it can harm good plants instead of bad ones if misapplied and also hurt animals, children, or others who come into contact with it or if it is stored improperly. Such chemicals should be a last resort after nonchemical attempts have been exhausted.
