    Crossbow Herbicide is a vegetation management product which means it is not very selective, it will kill almost anything. You will use 1 1/3 - 5 1/3 oz. per gallon of water. It is a professional grade product so it will likely not be in a store in your area. We do offer fast, free shipping and no tax to most places.

  • Asked by Mimi from Mo

    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.

    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.
