Application Method

Chemical Root Control products used today are contact root herbicides, meaning contact must be made with the roots in order to be effective. We use a two stage nozzle that allows us to wash roots of debris as the nozzle proceeds through the pipe. The product is then applied upon retrieval of the hose.
