Weeds are undesirable plants that not only distract from the beauty of grounds and turf, but also deplete important nutrients from the soil.

Four basic categories of herbicides are pre-emergents, post-emergents, brush control and aquatics.

Pre-Emergents: Applied before weed seeds start to germinate.

Post-Emergents: Selective or non-selective herbicides applied after the weed sprouts.

• Selectrol™ – liquid narrowleaf herbicide for control of crabgrass and other grassy weeds.
• Chem-Weed™ – selective broadleaf herbicide for control of chickweed, clover, knotweed, ground ivy, plantain and certain other broadleaf weeds.
• Top Down™ – this nonselective aerosol weed killer is able to provide rapid knockdown and kill of most all weeds and unwanted vegetation. It can eliminate re-treatment, reducing man-hours and decreasing labor costs. Top Down is formulated with both Bromacil and 2,4-D, allowing for an immediate effect on the weeds and residual control of up to one year.
• Torch™ - A concentrated non-selective burndown contact herbicide formulated from tree and plant oils. It is applicable for most IPM programs and its active ingredients are listed by the US FDA as food additives. These actives have a reduced exposure risk compared to traditional pesticides.
