It is important that you mix the correct amount of water with the correct amount of Ferti-Lome Weed Out to successfully kill the weeds in your lawn.

Step 1

Slide on a pair of gloves, and make sure you are wearing long clothing and boots. Ferti-Lome herbicide is a strong chemical that could cause irritation to your skin.

Step 4

Attach the hose end sprayer to your garden hose and begin spraying at the farthest spot you want to cover. Work your way to the front, being careful to follow the same pattern of left to right, or right to left. This will ensure that you do not miss a spot.

Step 5

Wash your clothing immediately after the application is complete so that any chemicals on your clothing do not transfer to your skin.
