Be careful here too using goats for control if they are pets or milked. Once they eat the plants the oil appears in their coats and causes terrible rashes, just as severe or worse than direct exposure. It could also be rubbed into their coat, I suppose although the person who had the problem thought it was from eating the leaves. She keeps goats has experienced the problem and had the worst rashes I have ever seen.
