More about pre-emergent herbicides:

It is important to make the distinction that pre-emergent herbicides, like prodiamine, do not destroy weeds entirely but rather prevent growth. That is why you must apply pre-emergent herbicides  annually to retain desired results.

Mode of Action

Prodiamine inihibits plant cell growth so that weeds are unable to grow.

 

Prodiamine Use

Prodiamine is registered for commercial use  to control weeds in nurseries, landscaping, turf farms, Christmas tree farms, golf courses, and more.  Prodiamine can also be safely used on certain types of desirable grasses without harming them, such as Bermudagrass, Fescue, St. Augustine and common turf grasses.

Prodiamine is toxic to fish, but non-toxic to birds.  The applicator should exercise care not to accidentally spray outside the target area or near water sources as this chemical will contaminate ground and surface water.
