A: There is potential for getting the herbicide in your eyes, protect them with goggles or a face shield; when mixing or spraying herbicides, always protect your eyes. Wear a hat – protecting your hair and scalp reduces your chance for exposure.

A: Selectivity refers to the types of plants that herbicides can target. If you have dandelions or crabgrass in your lawn and want to treat them without damaging the surrounding grass, then a weed killer specifically selective to those intruders would be your choice.

A: Whether you're spot-treating your lawn, spraying a driveway, or clearing out invasive plants, the use of weedkillers (also known as herbicides) is often a necessary part of the job. If you're using chemical sprays, wearing the correct respiratory protection isn't just advisable – it's essential.

A: Hot, dry weather encourages weed hardiness and growth, which reduces the movement of herbicide into and throughout the plant. If you're using herbicide-based weed killers, the hot weather will make it less effective, which is why you should target weeds in Spring or Fall. And cold weather also isn't practical.
