Catt Plex

Catt Plex, manufactured by Sanco Industries, is a highly versatile aquatic herbicide that kills various shoreline weeds that have emerged in aquatic sites.

It can be applied to water to eliminate many aquatic weeds and to turf to kill terrestrial weeds and grasses. This product has a broad label and efficiently kills the weeds down to the root, ensuring long-lasting control.

Catt Plex is an effective aquatic herbicide that controls weeds on aquatic sites and landscapes. 

Tools Needed

This product can be applied using many methods, such as a handheld pump sprayer, a backpack sprayer, or a spray rig for large-volume application. For household use, we recommend a 1-gallon hand pump sprayer.

How to Use

• Step 1: Measure the area you plan to apply to, either water surface area or turf surface area. This, along with knowing your targeted pest, will determine how much product will need to be mixed and what dilution rate you will need. For land site applications, measure the square footage. To do this, measure the treatment area's length and width in feet, then multiply them together (length X width = square footage). For aquatic applications, measure the acre-free of the site by following this formula (Length (ft.) x Width (ft.) x Average Depth (ft.) / 43,560 = Acre-feet). For general weed control, use 3 oz of Catt Plex with 1 gallon of water and 1 oz of surfactant. 
• Step 2: Fill your sprayer halfway with water, measure out the required amount of product, and add it to your sprayer. Fill the remaining amount with water (and a surfactant if necessary), screw on the lid, and thoroughly agitate your sprayer, and you’re ready to apply.
• Step 3: Spray the product over the desired weeds. Application methods vary depending on location and targeted weed, so refer to the label for specific treatment instructions.
• Step 4: Reapply as needed, follow label directions for proper re-application timings. When cleaning the sprayer, be sure not to contaminate other water sources with the runoff.

Where to Use

Use Catt Plex outdoors to control aquatic weeds like cattails, lily pads, or over your turf and ornamentals to control terrestrial weeds and grasses. Be sure to read the label before use to ensure you will not harm other plants in the area that you do not want to eliminate.

When to Use

Apply Catt Plex to actively growing weeds. This means it can be applied during the early stages of growth or even during a large-scale infestation. Some weeds may grow in different seasons, so it is important to identify exactly which weeds you want to control and then follow the label directions for that specific weed.

Safety Information

Catt Plex is safe to use around children and pets when applied according to the product label instructions. Always wear the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) when mixing and applying this product. 

This product is considered to be relatively nontoxic to dogs and other domestic animals; however, ingestion of this product or large amounts of freshly sprayed vegetation may result in temporary gastrointestinal irritation (vomiting, diarrhea, colic, etc.). If such symptoms are observed, provide the animal with plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration. Call a veterinarian if symptoms persist for more than 24 hours. 

Special Considerations

In some application methods, this product may need to be mixed with a surfactant, so other products will be necessary for the desired result.This product can also harm other plants if allowed to drift from the desired area or if applied to an area with various plants other than the target plant.
