Annual Poa / Poa Annua

Lawns

Manual removal is difficult and will leave roots and rhizomes in the ground which may sprout again.

1. Wearing rubber gloves, spot treat by using Weed Weapon Invade Gel onto the crown of the weed grass (central growing region) and as many leaves of the weed grass as possible. This will kill the grass and its roots.
2. For large problem areas on Turf Ryegrass and Tall Fescue lawns, treat the entire lawn with LawnPro Ultra Poa Lawn Weed Control.
   1. Dilute 40mL of product in 2L.
   2. Re–apply 21 – 28 days later for optimum results.
   3. Once the weeds have completely browned and died back (usually after about a week), it means the herbicide has done its job right down to the roots. At this stage, give the area a gentle rake or a light dethatch to clear away the dead foliage, this helps the soil breathe and gives your grass a better chance to bounce back.
   4. Try not to pull the weeds out by hand though, as this can stir up the soil and create the perfect spot for new weeds to pop up. In the event of large gaps, rake the soil lightly and re–seed with Lawn Pro Smart Patch Mixor Lawn Pro Smart Lawn Seed.

For other varieties of lawn grass, dig out poa grasses and level off any uneven areas with topsoil and then re–seed.

NOTE: Do not use on your tall fescue lawn if it is showing signs of stress or poor growth.

Flowerbeds

1. Wearing rubber gloves, spot treat by using Weed Weapon Invade Gel onto as many leaves of the poa as possible. This treatment will kill the grass and its roots without risk to surrounding plants.
2. Follow up with Weed Weapon Preventer sprinkled in the flower bed to prevent new weeds emerging.
