    Eraser Weed Killer

    By Betty on 06/22/2011

    Eraser is the best weed killer we have ever used. We have used many types and brands of weed killer over the years but most were expensive and a waste of money, time, and energy as they were ineffective.  Vegetation sprayed with Eraser takes about a week to wither and die. Certain plants, depending on type, size, and age, may require a second application, but this stuff works.  It even kills poison oak that is climbing up a tree trunk without killing the tree.  Just don't get it on the leaves of the tree.  Do not use if the wind is blowing because if mist drifts onto something you do not wish to kill, it will die.  Eraser is easy to mix and use.  It kills vegetation that it is sprayed on but does not "kill" the soil. Desired plants can be grown there later.  It is my understanding that Eraser does NOT leach into ground water – that degradation of this product is primarily a biological process carried out by soil microbes.  If you have annoying, hard to control weeds or bushes, my family recommends this product as THE BEST. DoMyOwnPestControl company is great to do business with.  I ordered the 2.5 gallon size of Eraser and was surprised at how quickly it arrived.

    Excellent weed killer

    By Joe on 04/03/2011

    Works great. Wait at least a week before you look for results after spraying. Takes a while to kick in but this product kills weeds like nothing else.

    Eraser requires a little patience...

    By Manny on 09/29/2011

    I was tired of paying the ridiculous prices for weed killer. Tried a 3oz/gallon mix of Eraser, but didn't see results the first couple of days. I continued to wait as the above reviewer had said it can take a week. Sure enough, after the 5th or 6th day, the weeds died. 2.5 gallons is going to last me a loooong time! :)

    Eraser

    By J.m. on 06/23/2011

    Verified Purchase

    Great product, works fast and effective. It takes about a week to work but it eliminates all weeds. Be careful around grass and flowers, because it will kill them as well.

    Eraser Herbicide

    By John on 09/08/2011

    This is a very effective and easy to use product. We use it to control noxious weeds around our farm. Tansy is a big problem in this area but we now have it nearly eradicated here on our place. The price is way less than local and no shipping charges makes this a great econimical product to use.

Q
After spraying Eraser 41% Weed Killer Herbicide, I'm noticing lots of birds & squirrels picking at the dead grass, is this typically after an applying or could this be grubs?

Is it expected to have a bunch of small creatures to show up and start nibbling on the lawn after it's been killed off? I only applied the product a little over a week ago, so it hasn't fully finished killing the grass. If all of these animals suddenly showed up at any other time of year, I'd think it might be an issues w grubs or other small bugs/pests, but now I'm not so sure because of the recent application.

A

Eraser 41% Weed Killer Herbicide does not affect insects in the area but the animals could be finding more seeds and insects in the area as the grass/cover they had is killed off.

Please take a moment to view our Grub Inspection and Treatment Guide for more information on how to inspect for Grubs and an effective treatment.

Q
Can Eraser 41% Weed Killer Herbicide be used to kill sweetgum trees if I spray it on the base of the trees?
A

Eraser 41% Weed Killer Herbicide will suppress or control many types of woody brush and trees such as sweetgum when applied as a stump treatment. For best resutls, immediately treat the stump after being cut down (within 5 minutes). Cut stump close to the soil surface, make 4-5 nail holes in the freshly cut stump surface and then flood the stump with undiluted product. 

Refer to the Stump Treatment Section located on page 8 of the product label

Q
Will Eraser 41% Weed Killer Herbicide kill privet weed?
A

Unfortunately, privet is going to be difficult to kill and can take repeat applications to new growth for some time. Glyphosate and triclopyr are the two most effective chemicals to prevent the re-growth of privet hedges.

For young Privet, foliar applications with Eraser 41% Weed Killer Herbicide can be applied at the rate of 2.5 fl oz (5 Tbs) per gallon of water spraying the foliage to wet but not to the point of run off. Good spray coverage over the entire plant is very important as privet shrubs sprayed only on the sides will not be completely killed. The optimal timing for glyphosate treatment is late fall to early winter (November through early January) when day temperatures are mild. 

For established privet, we would recommend cut stump treatments where you would cut the stump down just above the ground and then immediately apply a brush killer such as Fertilome Brush Killer with a paintbrush (or full strength) onto the stump. If the privet has an open, tree-like form, cut off the side limbs first and then cut the main truck as close as possible to the ground. If it is growing as a compact shrub, cut it at the base and then drag the whole plant away as one piece

If the privet is taller than 6 to 8 feet, consider using other methods such as brush mulching, basal bark, or cut stump treatment with a 41% Glyphosate + Surfactant or Triclopyr herbcide is suggested.

Please review this article by Alabama A&M & Auburn University Extension Office that has some great information on alternative methods for treating Privet.

Q
May I use Eraser 41% Weed Killer Herbicide in my blueberry patch to kill crown vetch?
A

Crownvetch is hard to control once it is established. Using a glyphosate such as Eraser 41% Weed Killer Herbicide or a triclopyr product is your best option to eradicate. It is recommended to apply per the product label rates on the cut stems and foliage. Follow-up treatment with herbicide is likely required to control any surviving stems or new seedlings.  Be sure to avoid any contact with the desirable plants as Eraser is a non selective that will kill anything sprayed.

Q
When applying Eraser 41% Weed Killer Herbicide how far do you need to be from a plant you don't want to be affected ?
A

You want to make sure any Eraser 41% Herbicide is kept off of green foliage or roots directly as it will impact any green growing plant its sprayed on. You can use it within a few feet of desirable vegetation as long as you do not saturate the soil to reach the root zone.

Q
Can I use Eraser 41% with Tenacity mixed together?

Want to kill my present lawn and plan on using Eraser, but wanted to mix it with Tenacity and apply both at the same time. Using the Tenacity as a pre-emergent since Eraser is not.

A

Yes, if you are looking to kill your entire existing lawn as well as short term prevent new weeds from coming up, you are welcome to use the Eraser Herbicide mixed with Tenacity as a pre emergent. Keep in mind that Tenacity will not work on all weed species and some likely will still emerge after an application, as well as that it only lasts in the soil about 30 days.

Q

Q
Will Eraser 41% Weed Killer Herbicide kill a chameleon plant?
A

There is nothing labeled for this invasive ground cover and even non-selective herbicides like Eraser 41% Weed Killer Herbicide do not seem to be very effective in getting rid of this pesky invader. You could try a combination of soil sterilants and a stronger glyphosate product RoundUp QuikPro in that area to try to control the plant but we cannot guarantee it will work. It is important to note that nothing will be able to grow in this area for at least a year after an application of a soil sterilant and that if you are treating on an incline the soil sterilant could travel through the soil and kill desirable nearby plants.
