How does Avenger Weed Killer compare to these “natural” weed killers?
Avenger Weed Killer is a post-emergent weed killer. Our patented natural d-limonene (citrus oil) based weed killer is a fast acting and effective alternative to synthetic weed killers or less effective “natural” products. What is d-Limonene? When citrus is squeezed for juice, a layer of oil remains on top of the juice. The citrus rind is then squeezed further to remove any remaining oil in the citrus skin. That oil is called d-limonene. D-limonene is a natural degreasing agent that strips the weed of its waxy skin (cuticle). The result is dehydration, which in turn leads to dead weeds, down to the root in smaller, younger weeds. Avenger Weed Killer carries both, the “For Organic Gardening/Production” and “OMRI Listed” seals. To our knowledge the only other post-emergent natural weed killers are the acetic acid/clove oil combinations and fatty acid weed killers(as mentioned above). Both of these products have been on the market for more than 20 years. Michigan State and North Carolina S
