This product stay in the ground for up to one year, so you would only want to use it in areas where you don’t have or want any desirable plants for at least this long.
No, Diquat Water Weed and Landscape Herbicide does not travel systemically through the soil and can be used as an edging or pruning tool in driveways, Per the product label, Diquat Water and Weed must be applied only to the select, narrow-banded areas and will only control vegetation growing within the width of the spray application.
You will want to spray the weeds to completely wet but not to runoff. Do not apply when heavy rainfall is expected within 24-48 hours to prevent any drainage or runoof into the lawn. Densely packed weeds or mats may require additional applications due to incomplete spray coverage.
