Testimonial03/05/2012 "We tried getting rid of the drain flies for months, without success and with great frustration. We purchased DF 5000 and within just 1 day, we could see a major difference! Within 5 days, they were all gone. Have not seen another drain fly for about 2 weeks now. Thank you!!" Ann L.

Nutsedge is a type of sedge that closely resembles a grassy weed, which is why it is also called nut grass. Nutsedge can ruin the appearance of your lawn because of the differing color and growth rate the sedge verses your turf. Nutsedge is extremely difficult to control because of various growth structures, so you’ll need to know exactly how to identify, prevent and kill this annoying lawn intruder.
How to Identify Nutsedge
Nutsedge weeds are easily identifiable plants. The triangular-shaped, yellow-green colored leaves have a thick mid-vein that makes the leaves appear creased, and are arranged in groups of three at the base of the plant. The thick leaves have a v-shaped cross-section as opposed to grass, which has a hollow cross-section. The shallow, fibrous root system produces tubers, which give the plants the “nut” in their name. These tubers serve as underground food storage chambers, and can also germinate and produce new plants. The rhizomes, or underground stems, of these plants can also produce new plants.
