Ranger Pro Herbicide does not list toxicity to bees on its product label and should not harm bees if used as directed. We would still recommend applying in the early morning or late evening when the bees are least active to avoid contact.
Ranger Pro Herbicide could potentially kill bamboo but there are other products that would better target that plant like some of our Brush & Stump Killers. No matter what product you use when trying to control bamboo you need to cut the plant down level with the ground and then use the designated product undiluted to paint/pour directly on the freshly cut surface. Bamboo roots run very deep so often you have to do multiple applications with a product and repeat the cutting and painting phase a few times to fully kill the plant.
Ranger Pro Herbicide is a non selective post emergent herbicide and it will kill just about any type of vegetation that it is sprayed on.
Cutting stresses the grass/weeds which may cause the Ranger Pro not to be absorbed adequately. It is recommended not to mow within 2 days before or 2 days after application.
Ranger Pro Herbicide will not harm mature trees when applied around the base. Just be sure to avoid drift/over spray from contacting foliage.
It’s recommended to wait until the Ranger Pro Herbicide treated area has dried to re enter. This can take about 2 hours.
Ranger Pro Herbicide can be used to directly spot treat weeds in pastures. You would need to keep animals out of the area during application until dry, typically after 4-6 hours or 24 hours if able to.
Ground sterilization is likely going to be the best way for you to go. Pramitol 25E is a great soil sterilizer and will prevent bermuda grass as well as anything else from growing back for at least a year. Caution should be used during application as some leaching in the soil could occur and destroy nearby desirable vegetation and turfs. The Pramitol needs to be mixed at the rate of 8 ounces per each gallon of water at the lowest dilution and can be used up to 32 ounces per gallon for harder to kill brush. Time of plant death will depend on how much product is absorbed through the root system, if it is irrigate after application and if the plant is under any stress to cause it to not absorb the product as quickly. It could be days or weeks before complete death is visible in the weeds you are treating.
If you still want to use a roundup product, the best one on the market would be the Roundup QuikPro that is a 73.3% Glyphosate as well as an added bonus of 2.9% Diquat which gives extra burn down of weeds. It still wont prevent others from coming back but you will see quicker burn and kill of weeds with this version than the others on the market.
Ranger Pro Herbicide is mixed at 2/3 oz - 13 oz depending the targeted species per the product label instructions.
Since Ranger Pro Herbicide does not leach into the soil, the label states this product can be applied prior to planting an area to ornamentals, flowers, turfgrass (sod or seed),
Ranger Pro is a nonselective herbicide, meaning that it will kill just about any plant or weed that it is sprayed on. However, once the weeds in the area that you have treated are dead, it will not prevent any future plant growth from occurring. You will need to either re-treat with Ranger Pro if any other weeds pop up in the area, or treat the area with a pre-emergent herbicide to prevent future weed growth.
No, Ranger Pro Herbicide is not labeled for use around any edibles. It is recommended that you spray outside of the drip line of any edibles or desirable plants.
Ranger Pro is mixed at the rate of 1 1/3 to 2 2/3 oz. per gallon of water (2 2/3 to 5 1/3 oz. in gallons). It will not prevent weeds from coming back. It will only kill those plants that are sprayed directly.
