As long as you keep pets/children out of the area while you treat and until the Mojave 70 EG has had time to completely dry it is safe for pets and people to return and resume normal activity, typically after 4-6 hours.
Mojave 70 EG is a vegetation management product that will prevent anything from growing in the area for at least a year. If you are wanting to plant seed or transplant, you will have to wait a year to plant in that area.
While we would think since Mojave is a bare ground vegetation herbicide, without the Mojave 70EG label listing Centipede, Zoysia or St Augutine grasses we cannot say for certain if it would or would not affect those types of turf. For additional information on the product please contact the manufacturer directly at 334-741-9393 (Alligare). If you need additional initial kill of grasses, then we recommend mixing with a glyphosate product such as Gly Pho-Sel Pro. You should not apply Mojave or similar products on top of desirable grasses or where there would be runoff or contact with the root system of desirable plants.
Mojave 70 EG is not labeled for bamboo. You can Use Round Up QuickPro at the highest listed usage rate to help eliminate bamboo. You will be required to cut the bamboo down to a short stump and then apply Round Up QuickPro. It can take several applications to acheive the desired resuts.
We are sorry to hear that, the product does need to be watered in after application and if the area received no water until that rain, that is what caused the leaching. The label for Mojave does state the following: If the soil is not moist before treatment, Mojave 70 EG should be incorporated into the soil to a depth of 4 to 6 inches using a rototiller or disc. Rainfall or irrigation of 1 inch will also provide adequate incorporation. DO NOT allow treated soil to wash or move from treated areas into untreated areas. You want to be sure that you are not applying in any way where there would be direct contact, overspray, runoff, or close movement to desirable plants as it can leach in the soil and kill desirable vegetation as it is a vegetation managment product.
You will use 1-2 tsp. of surfactant per gallon of Mojave 70 EG mixed solution. For 100 gallons of solution, you will use approximately 1 pint of surfactant.
Mojave 70 EG can be mixed with non-ionic surfactant or MSO (methylated seed oil). We do not recommend using dish soap as a surfactant because it is not registered for this use.
Mojave 70 EG is applied at the rate of 0.5 - 1 lb. per gallon of water depending on what you are treating for in the area. Please refer to the product label for complete application instructions.
Mojave 70 EG is applied at the rate of 7lbs-19 lbs. per 100 gallons of water per acre depending on what you are treating. Please refer to the product label for complete application instructions.
Mojave 70 EG is used for bareground vegetation control that is applied either at late preemergence-to-early postemergence for best results, per the product label. For maximum effect, weeds should be growing vigorously at the time of postemergence application and the spray solution should include a surfactant. Generally pre-emergents should be applied before May 1st in your region, so now could be a good time to apply.
Mojave 70 EG should be safe for pets to re-enter the area once the application has dried on the soil completely, typically after 4-6 hours. That being said, we have not had customers report having a white residue left on the ground where they have used it before, so we would recommend reaching out to the manufacturer directly to make sure there are no other precautions you should take. You can reach Alligare LLC at 334-741-9393.
Mojave 70 EG is a dispersible granule that needs to be mixed with water and surfactant to be sprayed.
We would advise to allow 1-2 hours to let the Mojave 70 EG dry sufficiently before releasing any animals back into the treated area. Keep in mind that Mojave 70 EG shoud not be used in any grazing areas.
Since Mojave 70 EG will kill anything and everything where it is applied, there is nothing left to hold the dirt in place. So yes, it can cause erosion indirectly.
When we have 16 ounces, it can also be called a pound (lb). 1 pound = 16 ounces.
Mojave 70 EG is a professional vegetation management product which should only be used by an experienced applicator, as it can leach to surrounding areas and cause unintended ground sterilization. The general application rate for Mojave 70 EG is 0.5 - 1 lb. per gallon of water, and you should refer to the manufacturer's product label for complete application instructions, and only use as directed.
Because privet is very tough to control, we would suggest cutting the privet and then applying a product with the active ingredient Triclopyr like Fertilome Brush Killer and Stump Killer by brushing the undiluted product onto the freshly cut stumps, which will work to kill the entire root system in 1-6 weeks. You can refer to the manufacturer's product label, and use as directed.
