Avenger Weed Killer is a broad spectrum weed killer that contains 70% d-limonene. D-limonene is the citrus oil that is extracted from the rind of oranges. It works by stripping away the waxy cuticle from leaves, causing fast wilting, dehydration and death. Avenger is non-selective and controls most annual weeds, both grasses and broadleaves. It is recommended for areas such as borders, driveways, patios, sidewalks, around mature trees and ornamentals, around building, in greenhouses, fencerows and around flower beds.

Avenger is fast acting with quick visible results. Foliar contact results in control of annual grasses and broadleaves and top growth reduction of deep rooted perennial weeds. For best results thoroughly coat target weeds.

For control of small annual weeds apply Avenger to the foliage of the small weeds (less than 6 inches). Do not apply if a strong threat of rain is expected within 2 hours.

For control of larger annual weeds and burndown of perennial weeds (larger than 6 inches) may require re-treatment.

When applied as a pre-emergent herbicide, they create a barrier that inhibits weed seed germination, keeping garden beds free from unwanted plants. Their natural, non-toxic formulation makes them a safe and environmentally friendly option for maintaining weed-free garden spaces.

Citrus oil, derived from the peels of citrus fruits like oranges, lemons, and limes, has gained popularity as an effective weed killer in recent years. This natural alternative to synthetic herbicides offers several benefits for both weed control and environmental sustainability.

Effective Weed Control: Citrus oil contains high concentrations of d-limonene, a powerful compound that effectively targets and kills weeds. D-limonene works by breaking down the waxy coating on the leaves of weeds, leading to dehydration and eventual death. This mode of action makes citrus oil an effective solution for controlling a wide range of weeds, including grasses and broadleaf plants.

Environmentally Friendly: Unlike synthetic herbicides, citrus oil-based weed killers are biodegradable and pose minimal risk to the environment. They break down naturally over time, leaving no harmful residues in the soil or waterways. Additionally, citrus oil does not harm beneficial insects, birds, or other wildlife, making it a safer option for use in gardens, lawns, and other outdoor spaces.

Safe for Humans and Pets: Citrus oil weed killers are non-toxic and safe for use around humans and pets when used according to the manufacturer's instructions. Unlike synthetic herbicides, which often contain harsh chemicals that can pose health risks to humans and animals, citrus oil-based products are gentler on the environment and pose fewer health concerns.

Versatility: Citrus oil weed killers are versatile and can be used in various outdoor settings, including gardens, lawns, driveways, sidewalks, and patios. They are effective for controlling weeds in both residential and commercial applications, offering homeowners and landscapers a natural alternative to traditional herbicides.

Fast-Acting: Citrus oil-based weed killers typically deliver fast results, with visible wilting and browning of weeds occurring within hours of application. This rapid action makes them an attractive option for homeowners and landscapers looking for quick and efficient weed control solutions.

Organic Gardening: Citrus oil weed killers are approved for use in organic gardening by organizations such as the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI). This certification ensures that citrus oil-based products meet strict organic standards and can be used in certified organic farming operations without compromising organic certification.

Easy to Use: Citrus oil weed killers are easy to use. Application is straightforward, requiring users to spray the product directly onto the leaves and stems of targeted weeds. Thorough coverage is essential for effective weed control.

Sustainable Agriculture: By choosing citrus oil weed killers over synthetic herbicides, gardeners and landscapers contribute to sustainable agricultural practices. Citrus oil-based products support soil health, promote biodiversity, and reduce reliance on chemical inputs, leading to healthier ecosystems and more resilient landscapes.

Citrus oil-based weed killers offer an effective, environmentally friendly, and versatile solution for controlling weeds in gardens, lawns, and other outdoor spaces. With their fast-acting nature, safety for humans and pets, and approval for use in organic gardening, citrus oil weed killers are becoming increasingly popular among homeowners, landscapers, and organic farmers alike.
