  • Asked by Rebecca from Asheville, N.c. 28805
    06/22/2015
    Q
    Could I use a brush to put crossbow on leaf so as not to touch neighboring plants. does it go to root ?
    A
    Crossbow Herbicide is intended to be used with a pressurized sprayer and can be brushed on for stump treatments. If you are only going to be using this for a few plants, it may be better served for you to hand weed the area versus using a non-selective herbicide. It will get to the roots of your plants.

  • Asked by Stewart from Check, Va
    08/02/2016
    Q
    How do I apply Crossbow Herbicide to kill Tree of Heaven?
    This product has an attractive price point however it has a relatively low concentration of Triclopyr. What concentration of this product would be effective to kill Tree of Heaven (Ailanthus altissima) when brushed onto a stump or by using the "hack and squirt" method? Thank you
    A

    Tree of Heaven is an invasive species that can require chemical and cultural methods to control completely. You will probably need to cut a treat the stumps directly with a product like Crossbow Specialty Herbicide for best results. This article from the PennState Extension service has more information about this difficult tree.

    Q
    Is there a green, natural, or organic Crossbow Herbicide?
    A

    Unfortunately, we are not aware of a natural or organic herbicide that would be comparable to Crossbow Herbicide. We do sell Avenger Weed Killer Concentrate, an organic herbicide that is non-selective.

    Q
    How do I clean up a Crossbow Herbicide spill?
    A bottle of Crossbow Herbicide ended up getting tipped over and slowly leaked out on a wood shelf and concrete floor, what would be the safest way to clean the spill and clear the fumes from the area?I have used a absorbent powder to soak up the spill however there is still residue on the wood and concrete floor and the fumes are very strong.
    A

    We recommend that you ventilate the area and use a non-combustible absorbent, such as sand or Zorball. Scoop or shovel into suitable chemical waste containers for proper disposal. Do not use water for cleanup.

    Q
    Will Crossbow Herbicide kill trumpet vine?
    And how long after can you plant certain hardier flowers or bushes Thanks
    A

    Crossbow Herbicide is the most popular choice for trumpet vine or trumpet creeper suppression. It is very difficult to completely control this plant with a single herbicide application. Per the product label, use a 1.5% mixture as a conventional basal or dormant stem application.

  • Asked by Barbara
    06/10/2016
    Q
    Will application of Crossbow Herbicide kill native plants?
    We live on a steep bluff and want to get rid of blackberries but do not want to kill native plants. We have been cultivating natural salal and huckleberry, small madrone, and broad leaf Maple.
    A

    Crossbow Herbicide could affect desirable woody and viney plants that are sprayed with it. You should avoid spraying desirable vines and trees. We suggest spot treating the target plants and spraying when conditions are calm.

  • Asked by Eric from Copperhill Tennessee
    05/07/2019
    Q
    Do I need to cut my field before I spray Crossbow Herbicide or wait till the weeds are dead and then cut?
    A

    For most herbicide applications including Crossbow Hebicide, you want to have no mowing for 2 full days prior to treatment and no mowing for 2 full days after treatment. This will allow the plants to readily absorb the chemical and not be stressed from mowing or reduce the plant surface that the product would be asborbed through.

    Q
    What is the Crossbow mixture for tree girdling with diesel?
    A

    The product label for Crossbow Herbicide does not address girdling specifically, so we would not be able to give you specific advice on this application. Per the treatment instructions for Conventional Basal Bark and Stump Applications: "...Mix 4 gallons of this product in diesel oil, No. 1 or No. 2 fuel oil, or kerosene to make 100 gallons of spray mixture. Spray the basal parts of brush or trees to a height of 15 to 20 inches from the ground...For better regrowth control, cut the larger trees and treat the stumps."

  • Asked by Janice
    06/03/2017
    Q
    Does Crossbow kill grass?
    A

    Crossbow Herbicide is not to be used on bentgrass or newly seeded grass.

    If you are wanting a bareground herbicide to kill whatever it is applied to, we would recommed using Pramitol 25E. If you are wanting to treat grassy weeds in ornamental beds and landscaped areas, Grass Out Max is a selective herbicide that can be sprayed without harming desired plants. 

    Please read all product labels for application rates and instructions.

    Q
    How long does it take for Crossbow Herbicide to become rainfast?
    In one answer you stated crossbow to be waterproof in 2 hours, but in another you stated 4-6 hours... which?
    A

    The manufacturer of Crossbow Herbicide does state that this product is rainfast in as early as 2 hours after application.  It is common for most herbicides to be rainfast in 4-6 hours after application, which is likely why you saw that information given.  We apologize for any confusion.

    Q
    Will Crossbow Herbicide work to get rid of Glory Bower (Clerodendrum trichotomum)?
    We have glory bower that is sending out shoots everywhere and trying to get rid of it entirely. Will crossbow work or is there a better product?
    A

    Crossbow Herbicide should kill Glory Bower as it is a woody plant. We cannot gurantee it however because it has not been tested for it. It may be best to spot treat the Shoots with Round up.
