  • Asked by Mimi from Mo
    06/01/2014
    Q
    Will Crossbow kill cedar trees?
    I have sprayed small cedars with Crossbow. It appears to affect them, but the sap comes out and seals the tree and then they recover. Any suggestions on how to eradicate them completely?
    A
    When trying to control trees that are well established, it often is best to either do a soil drench into the root system with the product, make cuts into the trunk and apply the product directly to the cuts, or cut the tree itself down and apply the product directly and immediately to the freshly cut stump. You may need to use higher application rates to get full control on more established and hardy plant species.

  • Asked by Mary from Coupeville, Wa

    Q
    Will Crossbow work to kill Stinging Nettles?
    A
    Crossbow only has horsenettle on the label for controled plants so we are unsure if this would work for your needs. For this type of plant, most have to pull up what they can before the root system spreads out underground too far, and spot spray places with a glyphosate type product like GlyPho-Sel Pro. This will kill anything you spray it directly with so be cautious around ornamentals or desired vegetation. We have put in a call to one of our specialists to make sure there are no other products that will fit your needs and will contact you with that information as soon as it is available. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

    Q
    Will Crossbow kill the roots of thistle or just the tops?
    I ask this because I spot sprayed some thislte in a different part of our yard about three weeks ago. When I went to pull the dead plants the roots seemed to still look pretty healthy. I am planning to spray our pasture in late summer/early fall because the fields are to hilly and wet-slippery in the spring to drive the tow behind sprayer around.
    A

    Crossbow Herbicide is a post emergent herbicide that does kill down to the roots.  However on some hard-to-control weeds such as thistle, it may require mutlitple applications to fully kill the weed off.

  • Asked by Lamar
    04/24/2015
    Q
    Does Crossbow Herbicide work well in wooded areas with poison ivy/oak without harming trees?
    A
    Crossbow Herbicide is a vegetation management product, which means that it is not very selective - it will kill almost anything.  Although it will not harm a tree if it gets on the base of a tree, (when used at recommended levels) it will harm a tree if it is sprayed on the foliage.

  • Asked by Vicki from Redmond, Wa
    06/11/2016
    Q
    Can Crossbow Herbicide be used on land within the 100' radius of our domestic well?
    We have grasses & weeds we want to kill that in the yard that is inside the 100' radius of our domestic water well. Will Crossbow penetrate down to the water table? Our well is about 100' deep, but, we don't know if there is other points of entry higher up.
    A

    According to the label, Crossbow Herbicide should not be used in areas where the water table is shallow and the soil is permeable because it will contaminate the water. We generally recommend that you use any herbicides at least 10-15 feet away from the well.
