Application

When to Apply

• Apply Preen Southern Weed Preventer Plus Fire Ant, Flea and Tick Killer anytime during the growing season. Apply only around established plants and transplants. It should not be used on flower seeds, but may be used after flowering plants have germinated and are 2-3 inches tall. Since it does not kill existing weeds, you must first remove any that have already begun to grow. Once activated, the product continues to tackle listed weeds and insect pests for up to four months per application.

How to Apply

• Sprinkle the product granules evenly over soil or mulch in flower and landscape beds. Apply when plants are dry so granules don't stick to foliage. If stray granules land on foliage, brush them off. It's very important to water the product in, or apply just prior to rain. This activates both the weed preventer and the insect killer. Do not water to the point of run-off. Once activated by watering in, this product forms a barrier in the top surface of soil that prevents listed weed seeds from germinating. The product will also kill listed insects on contact that enter the treated bed. This is a surface insect control product - do not apply to insect mounds or tunnels. Disturbance to the soil surface after activation may result in erratic control.

Applying with Mulch

• For best control of listed weeds and insects, we recommend applying Preen Southern Weed Preventer Plus Fire Ant, Flea and Tick Killer on top of mulch. Spread a layer of mulch on your flower and shrub beds, then sprinkle the product on top. Water the product into the mulch to activate. Always brush off stray granules from plant foliage.

THIS PRODUCT IS NOT FOR USE ON VEGETABLE GARDENS OR LAWNS. IT IS NOT FOR DIRECT APPLICATION TO INSECT MOUNDS OR TUNNELS.
