Herbicides

Herbicides are chemicals used to control unwanted vegetation. For home use, unwanted vegetation usually means weeds in lawns, gardens, or flowerbeds. 
Weeds can ruin the appearance of a landscape and take vital nutrients, water, and air from other plants. Before using a herbicide, it is important that you know:
  • The type of vegetation you are trying to eliminate
  • The method of control you would like to use

Weeds come in three basic types: 

  • narrow leaf
  • broadleaf
  • vining

Different herbicides may be required to effectively eliminate each weed. That’s why it is important to know what type of weed you are trying to kill before applying a herbicide.

There are four methods of weed control:

  • Applying selective herbicides will kill certain plants without harming others.
  • Applying non-selective herbicides will kill all vegetation to which it is applied.
  • Pre-emergent herbicides kill weeds before they begin to grow.
  • Post-emergent herbicides kill weeds after they have grown.
