Although it may be tough on weeds, it is considered safe for use around humans and animals and does not harm the surrounding vegetation.

What is Protek Scatterkill?

Protek is an early post-emergent herbicide containing Dicamba and MCPA. It is highly effective in killing certain broadleaf weeds in turfs, lawns, and paving. 

Dicamba is a selective herbicide ingredient that exclusively controls broadleaf plants. It is rainfast and will remain on the plant for four to six hours after rainfall or irrigation. Its residual properties persist in the soil ensuring long-lasting weed control. 

MCPA, the second selective compound in the herbicide, also provides highly effective control against invasive broadleaf plants and deciduous trees.

What makes Protek Scatterkill a favorite among users is that despite its powerful weed-killing combination, it does not harm the surrounding vegetation and is not toxic to humans and animals. 

How Does Protek Scatterkill Work?

The herbicide comes in ready-to-use granules that are easy to spread on the weeds. Once applied, it penetrates the leaves and roots, causing abnormal growth and ultimately killing them. 

It’s a selective herbicide, which means, as earlier mentioned, that it does not harm the non-target plants. Therefore, it’s safe to use in areas with high human and animal traffic.

Glyphosate is a popular ingredient in many herbicides due to the effective control it provides for a variety of broadleaf weeds and grasses.

What is Protek Clear All?

Protek Clear All is a powerful post-emergent herbicide with glyphosate as its main ingredient.

Glyphosate products have been used for several decades in various applications, from gardens and lawns to commercial farms, and Protek Clear All is no exception.

It is a non-selective herbicide that kills any plant it comes into contact with. However, when applied right, it does not affect the surrounding vegetation and has little to no effect on the soil. 

How Does Protek Clear All Work?

The product comes as a concentrate and must be mixed with clean water to form a spray solution. After application, it is absorbed through the foliage. Glyphosate prevents the production of proteins necessary for plant growth, ultimately killing the weeds.

Protek Clear All effectively controls broadleaf weeds, invasive trees, shrubs, and grasses. The herbicide is slow-acting, and you may only begin to see results 2-4 weeks after application. 

If you notice regrowth (especially certain perennial weeds), repeat the applications as required for effective and long-lasting weed eradication.

Here are some additional application tips 

• Spray on actively growing foliage in early spring and summer
• Irrigate the target area a few days before application
• Don’t spray on wet or dusty weed foliage 
• Spray only on target plants
• Avoid high-pressure spraying to minimize droplets drifting on desirable plants.

Since Protek Clear All contains glyphosate it can be toxic to people and animals. Ensure that you keep children and pets away from the target areas until it’s completely dry.
