Notes
Dry woods, leaves, pine needles and dry grasses may catch fire. Watch the treated plants for some time
after treatment.
The best time to treat sprawl is in the spring. The results are not visible immediately.
Older plants with hard leaves, such as thistles, dry earliest after repeated treatment at intervals of one to
two weeks. Some types of grasses are extremely robust and require a longer exposure to heat.
The weed needs only be heated. Burning is not necessary. The cells of the leaves dry out in this way and
the weed dies.
Certain weed species require repeated treatment.
