Espoma Organic Weed Control

Corn gluten meal acts as a natural pre-emergent herbicide. It works by inhibiting the root development of germinating seeds, preventing weeds like dandelions and crabgrass from establishing themselves in your lawn.

No, you should avoid using this product on newly seeded areas. Because it is a pre-emergent, it will prevent your new grass seeds from germinating just as it would with weed seeds.

Yes, light watering or rainfall shortly after application helps activate the corn gluten meal and move it into the soil where the weed seeds are located.

Yes, because the product is made from 100% all-natural corn gluten meal, there is no re-entry interval required. It is safe for children and pets to use the lawn immediately after application.

No, this is a pre-emergent weed preventer, not a post-emergent herbicide. It is designed to stop new weeds from growing, so it will not kill or remove weeds that are already visible in your lawn.

For best results, apply this product in the early spring before weed seeds begin to germinate and again in the fall. Always follow the application rates on the bag to ensure consistent coverage.
