How To Get Rid Of Stickers In Lawn?

We have a product that can be applied with the 9-step treatment at no additional cost to eliminate stickers but it can only be applied in the summers when temperatures reach 90 degrees as it is a contact kill. Pre/Post-emergent will help prevent them from germinating in the spring.

Treatment Approach:

  • Have to attack stickers from multiple angles
  • 70-80% effective after 1 year
  • Will see continuing improvement with ongoing treatments

Treatment:

  • Round 1 or 2 Pre-emergents (pre-ems last approx. 3 months)

     

    Celsius application

    • Must be applied with temp over 90 degrees
    • Included in 9-step lawn treatments
    • No extra charge for Celsius
    • Spot treatment in Round 4 and 6
    • Broadcast (spread over entire lawn) in Round 5
    • MUST add in notes that customer has stickers
    • There are times when techs run out of Celsius in Round 4 7 6 and they have to skip the application on subsequent yards that day
    • Celsius is an expensive product (one of the most expensive we carry)

    Fertilizer

    • Same as lawn fertilizer
    • Cause uptake of Nitrogen
      • Sticker plant will take it up and too much Nitrogen will eventually kill plant Like us taking too many steroids System will eventually implode

    Important:

    • Actual burrs will still be present; there is no way to get rid of them with our treatments
    • Burrs (the seed) can lay dormant for up to 7 years
    • Burrs wait for favorable conditions to germinate
    • Plant and burr can stand temperatures from 0 to 115 degrees F
    • Can see relatively few sticker plants for several years, seemingly under control, then, when favorable conditions arise, the number of plants can explode

    Customer Follow-through

    • Customer should always assume they have stickers and treat accordingly
    • Encourage customer to attach piece of carpet to a chain and pull it behind lawn mower
    • Throw away carpet after use
    • This is only method to get existing burrs out of lawn
