For smarter weed control at home
Pre-mixed, ready to spray, fast acting.
The Ready to Use formulation comes pre-mixed in a trigger spray bottle. There is no mixing, no measuring, and no diluting before use. Available in 1 L and 5 L formats. Active constituent: 28 g/L nonanoic acid.
FireHawk Bioherbicide Plus Ready to Use is a contact, non-selective weed control solution powered by nonanoic acid, a fatty acid that occurs naturally in many plants including geraniums and pelargonium oil. It works only where the spray lands, breaking down the green, actively growing plant tissue it directly coats. Because it does not move through the plant or remain active in the soil, FireHawk provides fast, visible burndown, giving home gardeners precise control over where and how they treat. Optimal results are achieved when the spray is applied in full sun to small, actively growing plants. Results are seen as browning and wilting, usually within two hours of application.
FireHawk affects any green plant tissue it contacts. Avoid spraying desirable plants. The product may damage lawn and turf when used as a spot spray.
FireHawk is an emulsified formulation. Shaking ensures the product is fully mixed for consistent coverage and best results.
Spray the weeds or grasses you want to control until thoroughly wet. Apply to actively growing weeds less than 30 cm high. Use coarse droplets and avoid drift.
When treating weeds around desirable plants, shield them from drift with cardboard or plastic. If desirable plants are accidentally sprayed, hose off immediately to reduce injury.
Do not spray if rainfall is expected before spray deposits dry on weed surfaces. Do not water the treated area for 24 hours to achieve maximum results.
Reapplication after two weeks may be necessary if regrowth occurs. Established weeds and grasses may require repeated application to obtain long-term control.
