Martin's Eraser

Non-selective means this product will kill or injure any green plant it touches, including your desired flowers, shrubs, and lawn grass. You should use it carefully in areas where you want to clear everything, such as driveways, fence lines, or gravel paths, and avoid spraying on windy days to prevent drift.

While it depends on the weather and the type of weed, you will typically see the plants begin to wilt and yellow within a few days. Because it is a systemic herbicide, it travels down to the roots, so complete death of the plant usually occurs within one to two weeks.

No specialized equipment is required, but you will need a standard pump-up garden sprayer or a backpack sprayer to apply the mixture. Simply follow the dilution instructions on the label to mix the concentrate with water in your sprayer tank.

You should keep people and pets out of the treated area until the spray has completely dried. Once the liquid has dried on the leaves, it is generally safe for them to re-enter the area.

It is best to wait. Because this product works through the roots, you should wait until the weeds are fully dead and brown before tilling or planting in that area. Check the product label for specific waiting periods, which are typically a few days to a week depending on what you plan to plant.
