How soon will the weeds die? Can I use this in my vegetable garden? What if it is rains after I apply?
Avenger Weed Killer is similar to RoundUp as it is a non-selective herbicide labeled for grassy and broadleaf weeds. The active ingredient D-limonene (citrus oil) removes the waxy plant cuticle so the plant ends up being dehydrated and then dies.The result time will vary on the type of weed being treated, how established or long the weed is, the soil temperature at the time of application, and the air temperature. For better results, you will want to apply Avenger to actively growing weeds when the soil temperatures are above 55 degrees, the air temperatures have been 60 to 65 degrees for 4-5 days consecutively, the weeds are actively growing and at least 3 to 4 inches long, and no rain is expected for at least 2 hours. Avenger Weed Killer should be a milky white substance as it comes out of the nozzle. Be sure to agitate the mixed solution to the propery consistency for best results. Please see the product label for mix rates and application instructions.
