    Q
    What is the best way to kill black bamboo?
    A

    Crossbow Herbicide is not labeled  for bamboo, but we have heard if you cut down the bamboo level with the ground and apply Crossbow or a similar Triclopyr-based product undiluted to the fresh cut, it can help kill it out. Bamboo is extremely stubborn, so it can take several steps to remove it completely. You can use Round Up QuickPro at the highest listed usage rate to help eliminate bamboo. You will be required to cut the bamboo down to a short stump and then apply the Round Up QuickPro. It can take several applications to achieve the desired results.

    Q
    Can Crossbow hurt an oak tree if exposed?
    I've got vines growing on my Oak Tree that I want to kill but I don't want to harm my tree. If I spray the vines at the base of the tree getting some Crossbow on the tree trunk but not the tree foliage, will my tree be ok?
    A

    Crossbow is a vegetation management product which means it is not very selective, it will kill almost anything.  Although it should not harm a tree when used at recommended levels if it gets on the base of the tree, it will harm a tree if you spray it on the foliage.

    Q
    How much Crossbow should I use per gallon to prevent a maple stump from growing new shoots?
    We cut down a maple tree a couple of years ago and it is growing shoots like crazy. How do we apply, and what is the mix ratio, to prevent more growth from the maple stump?
    A

    Per the Crossbow product label: To prevent or control regrowth from cut stumps, mix 4 gallons of Crossbow in diesel oil, No 1 or No 2 fuel oil, or kerosent to make 100 gallons of spray mixture.  This breaks down to about 5.12 oz of Crossbow per gallon.

    Q
    Best time of year to apply Crossbow Herbicide to poison oak
    We have a small forest with spreading poison oak we live in eastern Oregon with common temps above 100 degrees. The leaves are just starting to take on the red tone.
    A

    Crossbow Herbicide is a post-emergent that targets actively growing and visible woody brush and plants.  You can apply it per the labeled instructions once the poison oak is visible. Please keep in mind to protect desired pants from overspray or drift, as it may injure others that it may come in contact with.

  • Asked by John from Vancouver, Wa
    07/19/2018
    Q
    There is a blackberry bush not accessible to spraying can pouring Crossbow on the roots work?
    A

    Crossbow Herbicide is labeled for what is called a cut stump treatment.  A cut stump treatment is where you hack or saw or cut the tree or bush off down at the stump level and immediately drench the roots and/or cut stumps with a concentrated dose of Crossbow Herbicide.  The important thing here is to immediately drench the cut stump after cutting, so you want to mix the product and have it ready to go immediately after cutting it. It may require 2 treatments.

  • Asked by Bonnie from Kodak, Tn
    07/16/2018
    Q
    What effect does Crossbow have on birds, rabbits, turkeys and other wildlife that feed and nest near area to be sprayed?
    Needing to do selective clearing of an overgrown area. Will it harm wildlife?
    A

    Typically any wildlife living in that area is going to move out while you are doing any clearing, walking, towing, or spraying of a product in that area. Products like Crossbow are designed to be safe for people and pets once dry and the safety likely is the same for wildlife. This time of year with hot temperatures surfaces should dry within about 30 min to an hour after spraying depending on how heavily you put it on the target plants. If you can find anything to do in that area for about 30 min after you spray to help keep the wildlife from moving back in for a bit they should be safe to return to their normal habitats and routine.

  • Asked by Martha from Newport, Tn

    Q
    Can you mix Crossbow with Brushtox?
    A

    We do not carry Bushtox so we cannot say  for sure that it can be mixed with Crossbow.  However, we can tell you that most EPA approved herbicides can be mixed together so long as the instructions on both product labels are followed and neither label prohibits mixing with another product.  It would be a good idea to perform a small jar test first to ensure that both products mix well with no clumping or separating.

    07/08/2018
    Q
    Can you mix Crossbow and Bifen in the same tank together?
    A

    As long as no adverse effects are observed in the initial tank mixture you can mix the Crossbow and Bifen together in the same tank. Be sure to follow the most restrictive of the product labels and keep in mind if any grazing areas are being treated the Bifen cannot be used in those locations.
