Know before you buy
For the best results, you should apply the herbicide to the fresh-cut stump within 45 minutes. This ensures the plant tissue is still active and will effectively absorb the treatment.
No, this is a non-selective herbicide designed for woody plants, brush, and vines in non-crop areas. It will likely damage or kill any desirable plants it touches, so it should not be used in vegetable gardens or flower beds.
It depends on your method. If you are using it as a foliar spray, you must dilute it at a rate of 8 ounces per 0.5 to 1 gallon of water. However, when treating stumps, it should be applied undiluted directly to the cut surface.
The built-in brush is designed for precise, direct application to stumps or specific woody stems. It allows you to paint the herbicide onto the target area without needing a separate sprayer or brush.
Adding a spreader sticker is optional but recommended. It helps the herbicide adhere better to the leaves of tough brush and vines, which can improve overall performance and effectiveness.
