Tools Needed

Quicksilver Herbicide needs to be applied with either a hose-end sprayer, handheld pump sprayer, backpack sprayer, or spray rig. For small lawn jobs, we recommend a handheld 1-gallon pump sprayer or a 4-gallon backpack sprayer.

How to Use

• Step 1: Determine how much Quicksilver T&O Herbicide you will need to apply by first calculating the square footage of the area you wish to treat. To do this, measure and multiply the area length times the width (length x width (in feet) = square footage). Quicksilver can be used as a stand-alone product or mixed with other herbicides. As a stand-alone, apply Quicksilver T&O Herbicide using 0.023 to 0.048 fl. oz. per 1,000 sq. ft. For acreage applications, use 0.9 to 2.1 oz. of product per 20 to 175 gallons of water per acre. For spot treatments, use 0.030 fl. oz. of Quicksilver in 1 to 2 gallons of water to treat 1,000 sq. ft. For example, if you calculated a treatment are of 3,000 sq. ft, you will need to mix 0.090 fl. oz. of Quicksilver in at least 3 gallons of water. Do not apply more than 6.7 oz. of product per acre per application.
• Step 2: Fill you sprayer halfway with the required amount of water then add the appropriate measured amount of Quicksilver Herbicide based on your calculations. Add the remaining half of water to the sprayer and then close the lid and agitate the sprayer until the product is well-mixed. 
• Step 3: Spray target weeds until wet but avoid spray solution runoff and over application. A good technique to put into practice is to avoid side-to-side movement of the nozzle when spraying as it is best to spray the nozzle directly with no movement close to the weeds or moss to ensure proper application.
• Step 4: If you believe a secondary application is needed to properly treat an area, wait two weeks after the initial application and reapply.
