“This is a contact herbicide that will kill what it touches,” says Superintendent of Buildings & Grounds Luis Aguinaga. “We’ll be spraying fence lines, parking lots, park signs, paths, courts, etc.”
Patrons are advised to allow the application to dry before resuming use of the fertilized area. Although highly dependent upon temperature and humidity, herbicide products dry within 1-2 hours after application.
