Is Bow & Arrow Right for Your Lawn?
This product is a great choice if:
- Broadleaf weeds are spreading through your lawn
- Clover is becoming difficult to control
- Bindii appears every spring
- Oxalis continues returning each season
- You want a selective herbicide that targets weeds while protecting established turf
If you’re trying to prevent weeds before they germinate, a pre-emergent herbicide may be a better option. Our team can help you choose the right product for your lawn.
Turf Products Australia Application Tips
Getting great results isn’t just about choosing the right herbicide—it’s also about applying it at the right time.
For the best outcome, we recommend:
- Spray when weeds are actively growing.
- Avoid mowing immediately before or after application.
- Apply during calm weather to reduce spray drift.
- Avoid heavy rain soon after spraying where possible.
- Larger or well-established weeds may require follow-up treatment.
Healthy lawns recover much faster after weed control, so consider fertilising once the weeds have died back.
Build a Complete Lawn Care Program
Weed control is only one part of maintaining a healthy lawn.
For the best long-term results, combine Bow & Arrow Herbicide with:
- A quality lawn fertiliser
- A soil wetting agent
- A pre-emergent herbicide to reduce future weed germination
- A calibrated sprayer for even application
A complete lawn care program helps produce thicker turf, which naturally suppresses future weed growth.
