HERBICIDAL SOAP is a fast-acting weed, algae and moss killer. It does not stain concrete, pavement, stucco or wood. It is a non-selective herbicide that controls many common annual weeds. HERBICIDAL SOAP suppresses the growth of some bi-annual and perennial weeds. It can be used in cultivated areas prior to planting grass, flowers and vegetables. Areas can be re-sown five days after treatment. It can also be used on weeds, algae or moss growing on or around buildings, sidewalks, fences, trees, bark mulch, driveways, patios and gravel. HERBICIDAL SOAP can be used at any time during the year. Best results are obtained with young, actively growing weeds, less than five inches in size.

Mix 26 oz. of HERBICIDAL SOAP in 1 gallon of water
and spray weeds until runoff. Apply the mixed solution at 2.5 - 7.5
gallons/1,000 sq. ft. (3-9 fl. oz./sq. yd.). Any standard hand-held or backpack
sprayer can be used. Spray weed thoroughly, using a coarse nozzle setting to
reduce drift. Thorough coverage is extremely important. For spot treatment of
individual weeds, apply the mixed solution to the center of plant to the point
of runoff. Plant damage will be visible from a few hours to 2 days after
spraying. Repeat treatments every 2 to 3 weeks to control new weeds growing from
seed and re-growth from bi-annual and perennial weeds. Avoid spraying desirable
plants.
HERBICIDAL SOAP can be used at any time during the
year. The best results are obtained with young, actively growing weeds, less
than 5 inches high. HERBICIDAL SOAP works best during warm and dry conditions.
Application during cold weather may delay appearance of plant damage. If rain
falls within 3 hours of treatment, an additional spray may be required.
