Frequently Asked
QUESTIONS

Spruce is a fast-acting weed and grass killer that's safe for use around people and pets when used as directed. Spruce is a contact herbicide, so it kills the plant where it contacts it (or is sprayed on). For best results, maximize the contact with weeds by spraying the entire plant - including all the leaves. Spruce kills weeds and grasses in driveways, patios, mulch beds, etc. We don't recommend using it in lawns, as it will kill grass that it contacts.

Spruce is different because it is designed from the start to be easy to use and to be safe for use around people and pets when used as directed. Spruce contains essential oils and surfactant to start working fast, and you can see all 9 simple ingredients on the label. We designed our sprayers and wands to be easy to use, we even offer Power Wand and EZ-AIM versions of Spruce for people who want a continuous spray with just a single trigger activation.

While most of Spruce Power Wand devices start flowing product through the wand after 10 seconds, some devices can take 1 minute to spray for the first time or in-between seasonal uses. If your device is taking over 30 seconds to spray, try strongly tapping the flat side of the white wand/handle against the palm of your hand or against a hard flat surface. Press the trigger down for an additional 30 seconds. Repeat if necessary.

Use at the first sign of weed growth. Visible signs of product efficacy will be seen within 1 hour. Reapply as needed.
