Frequently Asked
QUESTIONS
Spruce is a non-selective contact herbicide. What does that mean? A non-selective herbicide is a product formulated to kill all types of vegetation, including weeds and grasses. They are intended to be used for driveways, patios, mulch beds, etc. Contact herbicides kill only the green parts of the plant down to the root where spray has come in to contact. It's critical to spray the entire plant and all the leaves to maximize product efficacy.
The biggest difference with Spruce is that it's primarily made with water, essential oils and surfactant. It's registered with states under Section 25(b) of FIFRA (Federal Insecticide, Fungicide Rodenticide Act) and is exempt from EPA federal registration.
