HOW IT WORKS
This product is a non-selective herbicide that will kill all vegetation contacted. It enters plants
through the leaves and moves down to the roots. This will ensure that the entire plant is
killed. Avoid direct spray or drift onto desirable plants, lawn grasses, shrubs and trees. Protect
desirable plants and vegetation with a piece of plastic or cardboard. If desirable plants are
accidentally sprayed, wash plants with water immediately.
