Description
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.
Product Overview
Barricade Pre-Emergent Herbicide HG (240 mL) offers the same trusted formulation used in the 1 L commercial pack, now in a size suited for smaller residential applications. Approved for home garden use, this liquid pre-emergent herbicide forms a residual barrier in the soil to prevent the germination of key annual grasses and broadleaf weeds for up to six months.
