RM43 Weed Preventer

No. RM43 is a non-selective, bare-ground herbicide designed to kill everything it touches and prevent regrowth for up to a year. Using it near desirable plants, trees, or shrubs will likely damage or kill them.

You will typically see existing weeds and grasses begin to wilt and die within a few days of application. The residual component then works to keep the area clear for up to 12 months.

You should keep pets and children out of the treated area until the spray has completely dried. Once dry, it is generally safe for them to re-enter the area, but avoid application on windy days to prevent drift.

RM43 is a concentrate, so it must be mixed with water according to the label instructions. It is best applied using a standard pump-up or backpack sprayer to ensure even coverage over your gravel paths, fence rows, or driveways.

Yes, if the spray contacts the foliage or if the roots of the tree extend into the treated soil, it can cause significant damage or death to the plant. Exercise extreme caution when applying near the root zones of any vegetation you want to keep.

Because RM43 provides up to one year of residual control, the soil will remain sterile for that duration. Do not plant anything in the treated area until the residual period has passed and you have confirmed the chemical is no longer active in the soil.
