HOW TO USE
Spectracide® Weed & Grass Killer3 is pre-mixed and ready to use and is formulated for “spot” treatment of weeds and grasses. Use it on driveways and walkways, or around fences, trees, flower beds, shrubs and other areas in your yard.
HOW TO APPLY*
- Completely cover the leaves of the target vegetation. Do not overspray.
- Sprayed plants begin yellowing and wilting in about 24 hours, with complete kill, including the roots, in one to two weeks.
- Protect desirable plants with a piece of plastic or cardboard.
- If desirable plants are accidentally sprayed, wash plants with water immediately.
*Visual symptoms and time to complete kill will depend on weed and grass type, temperature and application rate.
Not recommended for spot weed treatment in established lawns since lawn grasses will also be killed.
