I have a new gravel pad in front of a building (20 ft x 40 ft) and I would like to control the weeds. I was looking at Pramitol. We live on a hillside, so I'm concerned about runoff. We also have two small children (still putting things in their mouths occasionally). What would you recommend?
Pramitol 25E is a total vegetation killer and will eliminate anything growing where you spray it. This will keep anything new from growing in the treated areas for at least 1 year. Caution should be used during application as some leaching in the soil could occur and destroy nearby desirable vegetation and turf. Pramitol is mixed at the rate of 8 ounces per each gallon of water at the lowest dilution, up to 32 ounces per gallon for harder to kill brush. The time it takes for plant death to occur will depend on how much product is absorbed through the root system, whether or not rainfall or irrigation occurs after application, and plant stress. It can take days to weeks before complete death is visible. Children should be kept out of the treated area during application but can safely return as soon as everything is fully dry. Please see the product label for complete application directions.
