Is this product safe to use on plants and grass?I live in Texas with searing sun.Some products, even when dry, will "kill" foliage.

I have no idea; it's specifically made to remove pet stains and odors from carpets.

I can't say what its effect on plants would be as I've only used it on carpet indoors.

Did you use it full strength? Sun or shade is a non-factor. The acid works by burning the foliage but does not necessarily kill the entire plant like an actual herbicide does. It will kill a very young tender plant, but probably not a hardy established one, and especially not if the plant has a moderately thick or woody stem.

Only if you are real careful... this stuff kills everything -- broad leaf, grasses, weeds and of course vegetables -- if you get it on a leaf it goes right to the root ... kills the entire plant.. I have used it in open areas around bushes and scrubs but never very close as it will kill the roots also ... me I would not us in a garden...

I love this product; however, I would not use directly on vegetable plants. It is much safer to use around the plants than a weed killer like roundup, but you will need to be sure not to get any on your veggies.

It is safe on grass and flowers but I wouldn't use it the for the general lawn area. It is a particulate suspension which would clog the screen in my hose end sprayer. Also is way expensive for a broad coverage area. This insecticide is meant to be used as about a 3 foot wide barrier spray. It also washes away so I only use for my indoor barrier. For outdoor use you should get a bag of granular insecticide and use a broadcast spreader.

Hi Sandy, I used this product on poison ivy that was on my fence and on part of the lawn. There was no damage to my grass. I guess results may vary depending on what kind of grass it is.

I'm pleased with the product. It worked well early in the growing season, even before it got very warm. Its intended to kill everything and I primarily used it in my gravel pathways. You would not use it to spray weeds among other shrubery. In fact I got a little spray on an arbor videa, and its killing the tips of some of the branches. So it may not totally kill your junipers, but would likely do damage.

It states on the package the product will defoliate any plant. As for actually "killing" the grass, roots and all, I would suspect not. It'll certainly damage the turf, and likely kill patches. But I don't know if I would rely on it to kill an area of turn in preparation for a planting bed, or something of that nature. By the same token, spraying weeds within your lawn will certainly result in turf loss in the areas sprayed.

Depending on your weather, this product should be used with temps not above the temp of what it states on bag. It works great , but should be used when weeds are actively growing and temps not in the 90s. If used in summer,with high temps the weed killers would not work.It is a great product, just follow directions and avoid the extreme heat of summer.

This product doesn't kill plants. It only keeps seeds for new ones from germinating. I wouldn't recommend it for keeping weeds out of lawns, though. It is like orange paint; it will color the lawn, and it is expensive. I use it to keep weeds out of flower beds where perrenials are growing.

This product will kill any vegetation it touches. I have found that I sometimes it will kill the top growth but some plants with deep roots may have to be sprayed again when re growth appears. It works best on young weeds.There are other products out there that will kill your stickers without killing flowers. Try Grass-be-gone.

I don't know about your bushes, but when I used it I sprayed outside around the perimeter of my first floor apartment. Since grass came right up to the building; some of the grass got sprayed, too. I'm not aware of the product yellowing or killing the grass. This product is outstanding on killing the outdoor, big spiders before they make their way indoors. Before spraying the outside perimeter, I used the Terro product on ones getting inside. Regular bug spray from the grocery store was no match to those spiders. To obtain expert advice, perhaps there is a phone number or address of the manufacturer on the can that you can contact. In fact, I just went and checked my can of the product. The number is 1/800/800-1819. Company stated on can is in Pennsylvania. I hope that all of this helps.

If I'm correct, the beauty of Milorganite is that it doesn't burn the grass or roots. I have used it in hot weather, but I would avoid using it at the hottest time of the day, or the hottest day of the week ... just make it easier on the poor grass plants. the company may have a customer service number. I'm far from an expert which is one reason I like Milorganite. it's harder to make a mistake and fry the whole lawn.

Surfactant - "Improves wetting of foliage and results in faster week kill". I bought a product called Herbicide Helper from Monterey. Seems to work fine, but I must admit this is the only time I ever used a surfactant

No, it does not harm trees or lawns. My husband has used this product for many years. It is the only product that works for us.

Hello Richard, I used the product straight from the container on the roots of English Ivy. It killed some of the roots but not all of them. The area I used it on had not other vegetation so it could not cause harm to other plants. I didn't need to add any water to it. AE

I have sprayed twice at the end of this season,,30 days between sprays,,so far the bermuda grass is dead.The tall fescue has been completely unaffected.I will spray again in the spring,as directions call for..I have tried many products trying to kill the much unwanted bermuda,so far the Ornamec has worked.Directions state that it usually takes 2 seasons to completely kill the devil grass..So far so good!!
