Heavy Duty Weed Killer For Use Near Water

Question From: J. Howard - Pickerington, Ohio, United States
Q: I need to kill heavy duty weeds on a river bank. What do you recommend I use?

A: Most of the herbicides approved for use on residential properties warn not to use the products near water as they are toxic to fish, frogs and other water wild life. I would contact your county extension office or your state department of natural resources for recommendations. Best And Happy Yardening, Nancy
