Three Reasons To Eliminate Weeds
1) State Law or Ordinance
Many states legally require that certain weeds be cut or at least controlled to prevent seed production and further spreading.
2) Convenience
Using herbicides saves time and labor over manual trimming.
3) Appearance
Areas that are kept trimmed and weed-free look more attractive.
Use All Herbicides Responsibly
Avoid Overuse
Environmental:
Excessive use of herbicides can damage soil, make air unbreathable and in some cases contaminate water supplies.
Cost Effective:
Overuse not only wastes herbicide but also your money.
Poisonous:
The over application of herbicides can have ill effects on animals as well as humans.
Preserving Desirable Plants
Herbicides are designed to kill only those plants you want to eliminate. If not properly applied, herbicides can kill desirable plants too.
The Solution To Using Herbicides Responsibly?
Always read and follow all recommended dilution and application instructions!
