Prerequisites for St. John’s Wort Eradication

Before we begin, it is essential to note the following:

• St. John’s Wort is a highly invasive plant species that can spread quickly through seed dispersal and rhizome growth.
• It is essential to identify the plant correctly to ensure the correct treatment.
• Ascent Yard Care guarantees the effectiveness of our treatment; if the weeds or invasive plants are still alive 30 days after the treatment, a second treatment is provided for free.

Step 1: Preparation and Assessment

Identify the Infestation Area

Walk through your property and identify areas where St. John’s Wort is present. Take note of the size and density of the infestation.

Remove Obstacles and Debris

Clear the area of any obstacles, debris, or other plants that may interfere with the treatment process.

Assess the Soil Type and Moisture Levels

Determine the soil type and moisture levels in the affected area. This information will help us determine the best approach for treatment.

### Gather Equipment and Supplies

Collect the necessary equipment and supplies, including herbicides, spray nozzles, and protective gear.

### Wear Protective Gear

Put on protective gear, including gloves, safety glasses, and a face mask, to prevent exposure to herbicides and other chemicals.

### Apply Herbicide

Apply the herbicide to the affected area using the recommended concentration and application method.

### Avoid Over-Spray

Avoid over-spraying the herbicide, as this can harm surrounding plants and wildlife.

### Monitor Progress

Monitor the area for signs of progress, including wilting, browning, or death of the St. John’s Wort plants.

### Repeat Treatment (if necessary)

If the weeds or invasive plants are still alive 30 days after the treatment, a second treatment is provided for free.

Pro Tips and Shortcuts

• Use a targeted herbicide application method to minimize damage to surrounding plants and wildlife.
• Consider using a physical barrier, such as a plastic sheet or tarp, to prevent seed dispersal and rhizome growth.
• Regularly monitor the area for signs of regrowth and treat as necessary.
