Since Snapshot is a pre-emergent herbicide and needs to be watered in, you want to be sure the area is not so dry or sloped that the product will not just run out of the area when you water it. You may want to use sprinklers, a hose, or a watering can to moisten the treatment area first to help the granules stay in place before activating with water.
Snapshot 2.5 TG is best applied directly to the soil and then watered in as it is a pre-emergent herbicide. If some granules get on the leaves during application, these should be knocked off if they do not come off after watering.
