What is the stuff that Alabama Power sprays on brush on the sides of the road? It looks like orange foam


Ephesians 2:8-9
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Not of works, lest any man should boast.

The orange color is likely a herbicide surfactant such as methylated seed oil.

I'd say it's more likely food coloring.

Lots of professional sprayers use food coloring so they can see where they've sprayed and where they haven't...makes sure they're getting complete coverage.

They company that sprays at the refinery uses blue.

About 3 years ago AL Power sprayed the power line that ran through our property and it was blue. Prob go back and forth, but whatever they sprayed was like scorched earth a few weeks later!

I bought some of that crop spray blue dye at Tractor Supply and you couldn't tell it was there when sprayed on cogon. I poured the whole bottle in there after trying the instructions and still couldn't see it.

You got the wrong stuff then. The stuff I use is like paint, it gets you, the ground, and everything else blue.

Yep...that's how the stuff they spray at the refinery is. No doubt where it's been sprayed.

I figured you probably inhaled a lot of that stuff and that would explain some things.

I've definitely inhaled. Just not that stuff in particular.

I used some pond dye once in my big sprayer.

Once. If you get anywhere down wind of it you will look like a smurf.

The orange color is just an inert marker, so the minimum wage messicans don't get confused about where they done sprayed. However the actual herbicide is something I need to find out, but I'll ask this evening and get back to you.

I dont think Apco does any of their own ROW spraying anymore. Im pretty sure they sub it all out now. Its been all amigos doing ours for the last 10+ years and they were contractors. But yes, whatever it is they spray is some good stuff and it doesnt take much to kill with it. Trees grass briars all dead.
