Yes! This product prevents weeds from growing for up to a year. Remember, apply only to areas where you don't want growth. Desired plants planted after application will not grow, as the product remains active in the soil for 1 year.

To avoid damage to desirable plants, DO NOT apply over their root systems. For shrubs and trees, DO NOT apply closer than twice the distance from the trunk to the drip line as roots may be within this area.

Weeds, grasses and plants

People and pets may enter the treated area after it has dried.

This product is toxic to plants. Drift and runoff may be hazardous to plants in water adjacent to treated areas. To protect the environment, do not allow pesticide to enter or run off into storm drains, drainage ditches, gutters or surface waters. Applying this product in calm weather when rain is not predicted for the next 24 hours will help ensure that wind or rain does not blow pesticide off the treatment area. Rinsing application equipment over the treated area will help to avoid run off to water bodies or drainage systems.
