    Q
    I have the front and back yard full of stickers. Will Surfactant kill them?
    A

    A surfactant like the Non Ionic Surfactant that we carry is not an herbicide. This product is a sticking agent. It is labeled to be mixed with certain products, such as specific herbicides, to increase the effectiveness of the product by helping it stick to the weed(s)/plant(s) that you are targeting/treating. A surfactant used alone will not give you desirable results. It is an adjuvant to use in conjunction with another product. Please be sure to review the product labels of the items you choose to use for more information and complete application instructions.

    Q
    What herbicide will kill grasses and thistles/ broadleaf weeds in clover food plot?
    A
    Arrest Max Herbicide and Grass Out Max Herbicide are two products that are commonly used to control grasses and grassy weeds in areas with ornamental plants, flowers, trees, or broadleaf plants such as clover. For any broadleaf or woody vine type of weeds or plants growing within the clover, the only option is hand removal or careful spot treatments with roundup or similar non selective chemicals. You would not be able to broadcast spray over the top of the clover to kill thistles or other similar weeds without also harming the clover. Grass control is the only over the top selective option you would have.

    Q
    Would you use this with a weed and feed product or only herbicides?
    Does it make sense to use this with a weed and feed product? Or does it only make sense to use it with herbicides?
    A
    This will depend on the product you are using. It is important to be sure to review the product label of the product you choose to use as the label will state if the surfactant is required or not. Generally, weed and feeds do not require a surfactant as a surfactant acts as a sticking agent and feeds usually need to get down to the roots. Not all herbicides require a surfactant, and some labels even state not to add one while other herbicides require a surfactant for the product to work properly.

    Q
    Can Non-Ionic Surfactant mixed with liquid potassium solution be sprayed on old oak trees . Its to kill the moss
    To kill the over growth of moss.
    A

    You can spray a Non-Ionic Surfactant for Herbicides along with a liquid potassium on old oak trees, as long as it's labeled for use on ornamentals and trees as well. For moss control, you can use Bonide MossMax RTS on hardened bark of trees. Trimming any foliage around that allow the sunlight in will help control moisture in the area that could be the cause of the moss.

    Q
    Can you swim after an application of Non-Ionic Surfactant for Herbicides?
    A

    The Non Ionic Surfactant does nothing on its own in aquatic settings but rather would need to be mixed with an appropriately labeled aquatic herbicide if used in water areas such as ponds, lakes, etc.

    The surfactant does not pose any risk to people and ponds/lakes where it was applied can be used for swimming within a few hours after application.

    Q
    Would the Non-Ionic Surfactant for Herbicides kill clover and a clover food plot?
    A

    Surfactants are not herbicides that kill anything. The Non-Ionic Surfactant for Herbicides is a 'sticker' that is used in conjunction with insecticides or herbicides to help them 'stick' to the surface its sprayed on better and break the herbicides further into the plant tissue for weed control. Are you looking for an actual weed killer, not a surfactant? Do you know what kind of weeds you are trying to control in your clover plot as this will help us determine if we have an herbicide that will work for you.
