Watch for the first freeze!
With freezing temperatures rapidly approaching, keep an eye on weed growth. Only spray herbaceous weeds while they are actively growing so the herbicide can work effectively.
It’s also time to winterize your sprayers: rinse and clean out pesticide residues, remove and wash filters, nozzles, and screens, and drain all water. A little winter prep now can prevent damage later.
