Yes, it is possible to spray weeds before rain, and in some cases, it can be advantageous. Ideally, it's recommended to apply liquid weed control on a dry day when there is no rain expected for a few hours. However, if a light rain is anticipated, it may not necessarily hinder the effectiveness of the treatment. In fact, a light rain can be beneficial as it helps the liquid weed control to adhere to the foliage and, if applied properly, can be absorbed into the soil. This absorption can work to the advantage of killing weeds from their roots. It's important to note that heavy rainfall immediately after application may wash away the herbicide, reducing its efficacy. Therefore, timing is crucial, and if rain is in the forecast, it's advisable to plan the application when there's a window of time for the product to be absorbed before significant rainfall occurs. Always follow the specific instructions on the weed control product for the best results. Moreover, with Lawn Buddies, you can rest assured that if medium to heavy rain is expected, they will notify you in advance, rescheduling the application for optimal effectiveness. Additionally, Lawn Buddies offers complementary service calls if unexpected rain occurs after their applications, ensuring your lawn care needs are met despite unforeseen weather challenges.
