Ugh. That's not nice at all.
What sort of plants are present, and were all impacted? This might at least rule out some sorts of herbicide that only work on some types of plant..
I would expect a test result sheet from a lab to carry a lot more weight than the standard DIY herbicide test, should this end up in front of some sort of Official Person. Official People seem to really like Official Looking Paperwork. It seems likely to also provide more specific information.
It might be possible to do the DIY test to confirm that it seems to act like an herbicide and then send off for a lab asking only for herbicide testing to save a few bucks?
On the documentation front... more is better! Lists, dates, corroborating witnesses, actions taken, photos, texts or voicemails received... keep everything, and move forward with an eye out for the opportunity to collect more.
