Because of the new Provincial Pesticide ban, Ontario homeowners are now faced with weedy lawns and little or no solution. Over the last few years there has been very little success in controlling weeds without the use of pesticides. Companies have been experimenting with many different organic weed treatment products but have had very little progress. A product called Sarritor could be the answer.
Sarritor is a fungus derived from the lettuce plant that specifically targets broadleaf weeds. The optimal time to apply it is in the fall and it takes roughly two weeks to completely kill the weeds it is targeting. Sarritor is completely natural and safe for kids and pets immediately after it is applied. Another great thing about this product is that it will not kill the surrounding grass or gardens.
When I first heard about this product I admit I was a little skeptic. But after seeing first hand how effective Sarittor really is I have been made a believer. This product is a great start in figuring out how to control weeds without the use of pesticides. I think this product will save many lawn service companies customer complaints and even worse customer cancellations. The only downfall of sarritor is it’s high market price. It will be tough for lawn care service companies to decide whether or not to invest in a product still in its infancy. Maybe waiting around for a year to see if the competition is having any success may not be a bad idea.
