When To Apply
How Does Ortho® Killex® Ready-to-Use Lawn Weed Control Herbicide Work?
Ortho® Killex® Ready-to-Use Lawn Weed Control Herbicide is a highly effective solution designed to target and eliminate over 50 different types of weeds commonly found in lawns. It works by utilizing a systemic formula that travels through the plant from the leaves down to the root system, ensuring comprehensive eradication. Once applied, the active ingredients in the product are absorbed by the weed's foliage, then they move inside the weed to the roots, effectively killing the entire plant. This prevents the weed from taking essential nutrients and water from your lawn, allowing your grass to grow thicker and healthier. The ready-to-use format means no mixing or measuring is required, making it user-friendly and convenient for maintaining beautiful, weed-free lawns.
