Tools Needed

How to Use

• Step 1: Determine how much Martin's Eraser A/P you will need by calculating the square footage of the area you wish to treat. To do this, you will need to measure and multiply the area length x width. To control annual and perennial weeds with Martin's Eraser A/P between 0.5% and 2% of product. This means with one gallon of finished solution, you will mix in between 0.64 and 2.56 fl. oz. of Eraser A/P. If you are trying to control woody brush or trees, you will mix a 5% to 10% solution so you will use between 6.4 and 12.8 fl. oz. of product.
• Step 2: Fill your sprayer with half a gallon of water, then add in measured amount of Eraser A/P. Agitate the mixture until the product is fully dispersed, then add the remaining water up to the 1-gallon line. Close your sprayer, then shake it to ensure an even distribution. Once the solution is fully mixed, you can add additional products to your solution like a marking dye.
• Step 3: Apply the solution over the plants you wish to treat. Use a coarse spray and be sure to achieve full coverage of the plant, focusing on the leaves. For the best weed control, apply prior to seed formation to avoid possible to avoid possible retreatments in the future. Eraser A/P will not treat seeds that germinate after application. Weeds must have emerged in order to be affected. Retreatment of perennials may be necessary due to regenerating underground parts.

Special Considerations

Keep in mind that Martin's Eraser A/P has no residual soil activity. This product must make contact with emerged plant leaves in order to take effect. Do not use this product to control un-emerged weeds from seed or from underground perennial features like rhizomes.

To help avoid overlap as you apply the product, we recommend you use a marking dye like Vision Blue or Vision Pro Max. These products are temporary colorants used to indicate where you have sprayed. When mixed into your spray solution, your application will leave turf a deep, blue color, reminding you where you have sprayed so you know not to apply there again. Keep in mind that the use of a dye or colorant may reduce the effectiveness of the product.

Martin's Eraser A/P is an effective non-selective post-emergent herbicide that will kill treated weeds in days. Most active infestations cannot be controlled through the use of one product. For the best weed control, you will need to support your lawns health with the right fertilizer and you may also need a pre-emergent herbicide to prevent any weed growth for the following seasons.
