Product Information

Moss is different from the majority of common garden weeds, and it requires specialised removal. Our specialised lawn moss killer will kill your lawn, but it’s also worth knowing that moss can’t be removed like other lawn weeds. Other lawn weeds are made mostly of water and will shrivel away once dead, but this doesn’t apply to moss. Moss is fibrous and turns to thatch when dead. If you’re trying to eliminate weeds, it can be frustrating to have to wait until particular times of year and perfect weather conditions for the solution to be most effective.

On edible plants make sure the food plant is listed on the label and follow instructions on maximum number applications, spray interval and harvest interval.

There are a couple of reasons why this pump spray weed killer speeds up the process of getting rid of pesky weeds, and it comes down to both its effectiveness, and its straight-forward application style.

If this is not sufficient to reduce the damage to acceptable levels then you may choose to use pesticides.

The RHS believes that avoiding pests, diseases and weeds by good practice in cultivation methods, cultivar selection, garden hygiene and encouraging or introducing natural enemies, should be the first line of control. If chemical controls are used, they should be used only in a minimal and highly targeted manner. The need for chemical control can be reducedor eliminated by the use of grease bands and tree barrier glues.Caterpillar damage on tall trees has to be tolerated as it is impractical to spray.
