Weeds aren’t just an eyesore. They compete with your grass and plants for water, nutrients, and space. At Bautista Pros, we believe premium lawn care starts with clear solutions, not guesswork. If you’re exploring weed control options, here’s a breakdown of how different weed killers work and which one might be right for your yard.
Chemical vs. Systemic Weed Killers
These terms are often used interchangeably, but they refer to how a weed killer works. Chemical weed killers include a range of products. Some are systemic, and others are contact-based.
Systemic weed killers are absorbed into the plant and kill it from the inside, all the way to the root. These are great for deep-rooted or stubborn weeds. Contact weed killers, on the other hand, damage the parts of the plant they touch. They are ideal for the quick knockdown of surface-level growth. Both types require proper handling and application, which is why many people rely on professional Lubbock lawn care services like Bautista Pros.
What Makes a Weed Killer Pet-Safe?
If your lawn is part of your pet’s daily routine, safety matters. Pet-safe weed killer products are made with natural ingredients like vinegar or essential oils. These are best for light weed control and are commonly used in low-traffic, residential areas.
Some Weed Killers Help with Pests, Too
Some products act as pest-eliminating weed killers, targeting overgrown areas that attract ants, ticks, or fleas. These multi-tasking formulas can help improve both the appearance and health of your lawn.
