The manufacturer says you should not use Gordon's Brush Killer on windy days, nor just prior to rain or irrigation. Wind may carry the weed killer to desirable plants and crops. Rain or irrigation removes the weed killer from the weed foliage and reduces its effectiveness. Always wear safety gear when handling or spraying Gordon's Brush Killer.

Things You Will Need

  • Clean water
  • 1-gallon garden sprayer
  • Gordon's Brush Killer
  • Measuring cup
  • Gloves
  • Safety goggles
  • Face mask
  1. Add 1/2 gallon of clean water to the garden sprayer reservoir.

  2. Measure the concentrated Gordon's Brush Killer herbicide: 3 oz. for annual weeds, 6 oz. for perennial weeds and 9 oz. for woody weeds.

  3. Add the Gordon's Brush Killer to the garden sprayer reservoir.

  4. Close and shake or agitate the reservoir.

  5. Add another 1/2 gallon of water to the garden sprayer reservoir.

  6. Close and shake until all the herbicide dissolves. Continue to shake occasionally during use.
