    Q
    Will Sureguard kill the sucker on a River Birch without harming the tree?
    A
    SureGuard is a broad spectrum pre- and post-emergent herbicide for use in lawns and landscaped areas to control common broadleaf and some grassy weeds, it is not labeled to treat for suckers on trees.  We do however carry the Monterey Sucker Stopper RTU.  Sucker Stopper RTU controls sprouting from pruning cuts, trunks and root stocks. Sucker-Stopper RTU is a ready to use formulation that will last at least three months after the application.

  • Asked by Jay from Jackson, Ms
    06/17/2016
    Q
    Can I spray SureGuard Herbicide on gravel walking paths that are immediately bordered by centipede grass and small trees?
    I am concerned mainly about the potential of runoff damage. I want to keep grass and broadleaves from the walking paths, but I don't want to kill the grass and trees that are nearby the paths.
    A

    Yes, Sureguard Herbicide can be used in gravel walking paths. We would recommend being very careful when spraying and not spraying when it is windy out so that the product will not drift.

  • Asked by Doug from Penfield, Ny
    02/25/2017
    Q
    Does SureGuard Herbicide kill all grass or can I use it to just kill the Bermuda grass?
    I have Bermuda grass taking over my lawn.
    A

    SureGuard Herbicide can be applied to established warm season turfgrass only. If you are up north, this would not be effective to apply.

    Bermuda would be considered a grassy weed, so you need a product that is geared towards grassy weeds and not broadleaf weeds.  We want to be clear that bermuda can be suppressed, but it is VERY difficult to kill completely.  It will take multiple treatments to finally kill it.  But Fusilade II is usually the go to product for this issue. 

    This is directly off of the product label:

    Apply 0.07-0.14 oz/1000 sq. ft. (3-6 oz./A) along with 0.25% v/v (1/2 pt./25 gals.) of a nonionic surfactant. Application should be made every 28 days when the grass weeds are actively growing. The higher rates may result in temporary discolorization of the desirable turf with recovery in 10-14 days. Do not apply to desirable turf which is under stress. For best results, make applications in spring and fall and avoid treatments during July and August.
    Complete control of undesirable grass may take 1-2 growing seasons.

    We also recommend calling your local county extension office as they usually know the optimum times for spraying lawns in your area.

    Q
    Will SureGuard Herbicide that I bought a year ago still work?

  • Asked by Teresa from Liberal, Ks
    01/23/2019
    Q
    Will SureGuard kill off cattails?
    What can I use to take care of unwanted cattails from my ponds?
    A

    SureGuard Herbicide is not labeled for use in aquatic areas where cattails would grow. Keep in mind that this formulation has been discontinued. SureGuard SC has replaced it, and this product can be used to control listed aquatic plants in slow-moving or quiescent waters. SureGuard SC, however, is not labeled to control cattails. We suggest an aquatic glyphosate product for this weed, such as Catt Plex. Be sure you are adding an aquatic-labeled surfactant to your aquatic herbicides, such as Southern Ag Non-Ionic Surfactant.

  • Asked by Clayton from Chandler, Tx
    02/03/2020
    Q
    I am confused. What grasses can SureGuard Herbicide be used on?
    Can I use this as a pre-emergent in lawns of Bermuda, St. Augustine, or Zoyzia? One part of the label says it labeled for warm season turfgrasses and another area lists only dormant Bermuda grass? Can I use it for lawns for weed control or can I not?
    A

    SureGuard can only be used on Bermuda in its dormant state and is not labeled for use on Zoysia or St. Augustine turfgrass. Dimension 2EW is our most popular broadleaf and grassy weed pre-emergent and can be used on these grass types though. Please review the product label for more information.
