Question

Anyone know how to get rid of mares tail?  

Answer 1

Just pull them out they just love to spread themselves apparently! I was told that last week x

Don't pull them, causes them to spread more

Answer 2

Wd 40.  

Answer 3

Only thing that works is kurtail. I have tried every trick in the book - bleach, salt, wd40, resolva, pulling it up etc and within days it was back. Started spraying it with kurtail at the first sign of it in march and its dying off, still get green shoots coming through so I just keep spraying. I'm hoping next spring it will be eradicated completely.  

Answer 4

Try boiling water.  

Answer 5

this was my post about the exact same thing last year. I tried everything that was suggested to me and none of it worked. Apart from the kurtail

This is my marestail situation currently with a few new green shoots which I shall spray the next dry day we have.  

Answer 6

It needs special weedkiller specially for maretail. The roots don't die unless this is used as usual weedkiller isn't powerful enough but do not allow pets or children near treated area and you need to treat it at least 3 times especially if it rains in between treatment

Answer 7

You will never get rid of it, you just have to try and keep on top of it ‍♀️

Answer 8
