Storing glyphosphate in van and spraying it

So I sprayed an area but there's a dog and very young kid living in house next to the path sprayed. Should i have hung around to warn them until it dried? Took an hour as cold 13 degrees so got fed up after 20 mins (still wet on slabs where weeds grow out of gaps)

They're also nightmare chavs who complain and cause trouble and was worried they'd just try and sue me or company if I highlighted it to them (which I would have with normal people ) so decided to do one and say nothing. Should I have put up signs?

I am also aware of not spraying near drains as not one drop should get into water system. But ok to spray the manholes similarto the two in picture?

Dunno

It should be done in dry, warm weather, when plants are actively growing. The solution also needs around 4 hours of warm, dry weather, in order for the plant/leaf to properly absorb the spray.
 
What did you learn on your courses, about notices and related subjects?


One thing I do remember on course is to put signs out for initial 30 mins on public paths. Until dry.



The photos are two weeks after spraying. Seems grasses hsve been killed but broader leafed things still green. Spray more on them next time?

I always go around, at least twice - usually allowing a few weeks between, to pick off the ones I missed the first time, or didn't adequately cover.
