Do Pre Emergents Work?

The class of weed control products known as pre-emergents are highly effective herbicides if used properly. They are relatively simple to apply and can save a lot of headache later in the season if care is taken to apply them properly. Sometimes though, weeds will grow even after you've applied pre-emergents.

What month should I apply pre-emergent?

When should I use Oxafert pre-emergent? The ideal times to apply Oxafert are February and April, but you can use Oxafert year-round in place of a slow-release fertiliser. Oxafert is a great way to control those weeds that are especially difficult to eradicate, such as winter grass (Poa) and oxalis.

Are pre-Emergents safe?

Most pre-emergent herbicide products are safe when used as directed. The key to maximizing safety is planning ahead and applying when children and pets are not around.
