FAQs

When is the best time to apply SBK Brushwood Killer?

Apply when the soil is moist and weeds are actively growing, typically between May to October for tough weeds and hardwood saplings, and from June to August for woody weeds.

How long after application can I replant?

Wait a minimum of six weeks after application before replanting in the treated area.

Can I use SBK Brushwood Killer in wet weather?

Avoid applying during heavy rain, as this may reduce effectiveness. Apply when rain is not expected for at least 24 hours.

Is SBK Brushwood Killer safe for pets?

Keep pets and children away from treated areas until the product has dried completely.

How do I dilute the concentrate?

Always refer to the product instructions for the correct dilution ratio. Typically, it will be a specific amount of concentrate per liter of water.

What should I do if the product spills?

Contain the spill, absorb it with an inert material (e.g., sand or absorbent granules), and dispose of it according to local regulations.

Troubleshooting

Weeds are not dying after application.

Ensure the product was applied correctly, that the weeds were actively growing, and that the soil was moist. Reapply after six weeks if necessary. Check the expiration date.

Desirable plants are damaged.

Ensure the product has not come into contact with the foliage or roots of the desired plants. Use a shield when spraying to avoid drift. If damage has occurred, water the area thoroughly to dilute the herbicide.
