Barricade Pre-Emergent Herbicide HG – 240 mL

Pre-Emergent Weed Control for Residential Turf & Garden Beds

Weeds such as Summer Grass, Winter Grass, and Crowsfoot can quickly dominate residential lawns and garden beds, often before they are visible. Traditional post-emergent control is reactive, requiring repeated treatments and manual labour. Professionals managing residential or light commercial landscapes require a reliable pre-emergent solution to reduce long-term weed pressure.
