Product Overview
Shoreline Defense®
Shoreline Defense works on emergent aquatic weeds, including cattails and phragmites, and other shoreline vegetation. Shoreline Defense kills weeds down to their roots. For best results, apply Shoreline Defense while the chosen weed is in its active growing stage. For cattails, it is best to apply during late summer to early fall.
HOW TO USE
Application: Liquid
Temperature Restriction: None
Square Footage Per Container: Up to 10,000 sq. ft.
Shelf Life: 2 years
WHEN TO APPLY
Shoreline Defense should be applied to target weeds while they are active and growing. The active ingredients in Shoreline Defense will be absorbed by the plant, where it travels to the roots killing the entire plant.
HOW TO APPLY
Mix the desired amount of Shoreline Defense and pond water in accordance with the label directions. Using a pressurized sprayer; spray the Shoreline Defense mixture directly onto target weeds. We suggest using Cygnet Plus (adjuvant for pesticides) for the best results. Treated weeds will begin to brown and die. Once weeds are completely dead, cut and rake them away to prevent an accumulation of plant decay and pond muck.
