Product Information
Full details
The Vitax SBK Brushwood Killer RTU is an ideal solution for homeowners and gardeners struggling with persistent woody weeds, brambles, and tree stumps. Its primary benefit is the powerful, glyphosate-free formula that kills tough vegetation down to the root without harming surrounding grass; however, users should be aware that it is a systemic herbicide, meaning it will kill any broad-leaved plant it touches, so careful application is required.

FAQs
Will this kill my grass?
No, Vitax SBK is specifically designed to kill broad-leaved woody weeds while leaving grasses unharmed.
Can I use this on tree stumps?
Yes, it is highly effective for stump treatment. Apply directly to the cut surface for best results.
Is it safe for pets?
Keep pets and children away from the treated area until the spray has completely dried.
Does it contain glyphosate?
No, this product is entirely glyphosate-free.
When is the best time to apply?
Apply when weeds are actively growing, ideally between late spring and early autumn, on a dry day.
How long until I can replant?
Wait at least 6 weeks after treatment before planting new flowers or shrubs in the treated area.
Troubleshooting
Weeds are not dying after one application
Tough woody weeds may require a repeat application if the initial coverage was insufficient or if the plant is well-established.
Spray nozzle is clogged
Rinse the nozzle under warm water to clear dried residue and ensure the pump mechanism is fully primed.
Accidentally sprayed a desirable garden plant
Immediately rinse the plant foliage thoroughly with water to dilute the herbicide, though damage may still occur.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
As this is a ready-to-use (RTU) product, there is no setup required beyond attaching a spray trigger if applicable. Always store the bottle in a cool, dark place out of reach of children. When applying, it is recommended to wear protective gloves and avoid contact with eyes. Clean any equipment thoroughly after use to prevent residue contamination. Ensure the soil is moist before application if the weather has been extremely dry, as plants absorb herbicides better when not under severe drought stress.
