WEED CONTROL
Pramitol® liquid gets rid of weeds where you don’t
want them. In fences. And around buildings, sifos,
feedlots, gas tanks, and pumps. It’s great for knocking
out weeds where you can’t mow.
Pramitol liquid works like a charm. One early spray
keeps weeds down all season.
Try Pramitol 25E liquid. You’ll find all kmdsof usesfor it.
if you prefer, use easy to spread Pramitol pellets.
