Ortho GroundClear Vegetation Killer

No, you should not use this product in areas where you intend to grow plants. It is a non-selective, long-term vegetation killer designed for places like driveways, gravel paths, and fence lines where you want to prevent all plant growth for up to a year.

While the product begins working on contact, you will typically see visible wilting and browning of existing weeds within a few hours. The residual control then works to prevent new growth for up to 12 months.

Once the spray has completely dried, it is generally safe for pets and children to re-enter the treated area. However, always keep them away during the application process until the liquid has fully settled and dried on the surface.

Yes, because this is a concentrate, you must mix it with water according to the instructions on the label before application. Using it undiluted will not improve its effectiveness and may waste the product.

The product is rainproof once it has completely dried on the foliage, which usually takes a few hours. If it rains immediately after you spray, the effectiveness may be reduced, and you might need to reapply.
