Birdsfoot Trefoil

Trefoils have trifoliate leaves and orange/yellow pea-like flowers in a cluster. Stems are usually prostrate and hairy.

In lawns

• Apply a selective herbicide such as LawnPro Turfclean Ultra, LawnPro Prickle and Hydrocotyle, LawnPro Turfclean, Turfclean & Green or LawnPro All-in-1. They will effectively kill trefoil but leave the lawn grass unaffected.
• For best results apply spray in Spring and Autumn when weeds are growing.

In garden beds

• Use Weed Weapon Extra Strength to kill off the top growth. It controls clover within 7-10 days and is an ideal product for use around established trees and shrubs. It is inactive in the soil so planting can be safely carried out soon after treatment.
• If you wish to more effectively prevent regrowth, apply Weed Weapon Preventer granules. This is a selective pre-emergent herbicide which penetrates deep into the soil so do not plant seeds or sensitive plants into treated soil within 3 months of application.
• For a fast acting organic solution use Kiwicare Weed Weapon Natural Power.
• For best results apply spray in Spring and Autumn when weeds are growing.

In Paths and Driveways

• For long term control on paths and driveways use Kiwicare Weed Weapon Long Term. This will kill a wide range of weeds and prevent regrowth for up to 12 months.
• For a fast acting organic solution use Kiwicare Weed Weapon Natural Power.
• For best results apply spray in Spring and Autumn when weeds are growing.
