I don't use chemicals on my lawn or in my garden, but I get my daily overdose of pest-killer in the form of dipotassium phosphate, one of the ingredients in my Price Rite coffee creamer. The compound is also used to control fungal plant diseases on turf, ornamental plants, and non-bearing fruit and nut tree crops. However, the EPA does NOT approve dipotassium phosphate for pesticidal use on food or feed crops. Apparently Price Rite coffee creamer doesn't count as a food, even though humans swallow it.
