Weeds in a driveway crack, grass pushing up between patio stones and sprigs along a flower bed all have one thing in common: they are where you don't want them. This ready-to-use trigger spray works through the foliage and down to the roots, so you are not just knocking back the top growth.
It is non-selective, which is the point. It kills what you spray, including grasses, so it is the tool for the spots you want bare. Nothing to mix, and it is rainproof in 10 minutes.

What it's for
Every yard has a few spots that take a beating from weeds: the seam where the driveway meets the grass, the gaps between brick walks, the strip under a fence. Hand pulling works in soft soil, but in gravel or along concrete the weeds come back from root pieces left behind. A systemic spray that moves down to the roots is the practical answer.
It suits the homeowner who wants a clean hardscape, the farm crew cleaning up around barn pads and feed room doors, and anyone who keeps the place looking sharp from the road. Spray when weeds are actively growing, and aim the trigger so the spray stays on the weeds you want gone.

How to use it
Use it only where you want vegetation gone. Do not use it in lawns, and keep it off desirable plants, which it will harm as readily as the weeds.
- Adjust the nozzle to the desired spray setting.
- Spray weeds or grasses until thoroughly wet.
- When treating weeds near desirable plants, shield them from spray drift with cardboard or plastic. If a desirable plant is accidentally sprayed, rinse it immediately with water or cut off the treated area.
- Apply when weeds are actively growing and when air is calm. Do not allow people or pets to enter treated areas until the spray has dried.
Good to know
- Keep the spray off the leaves of shrubs and trees you want to keep, and shield their trunks and bases with cardboard.
- Keep the container out of direct sun and away from freezing.
- Turn the nozzle to the closed position before you put the jug away.
Bring it out in spring, when weeds are actively growing, and keep it handy for the summer strip along the drive.

Cautions
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN
CAUTION: Causes moderate eye irritation. Avoid contact with eyes or clothing. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling.
To protect the environment, do not allow pesticide to enter or run off into storm drains, drainage ditches, gutters or surface water. Applying this product in calm weather when rain is not predicted for 24 hours will help to ensure that wind or rain does not blow or wash pesticide off the treatment area. Rinsing application equipment over the treated area will help avoid run off to water bodies or drainage system.
A clean driveway edge takes one spray session, so grab a container before the next warm spell brings the weeds up.
