Guide Review - Triamine Jet Spray Spot Weed Killer

Convenience is king with Triamine Jet Spray. Not having to mix or handle the product means it's ready to use immediately and lessens the risk of exposure. Having the product in a pressurized aerosol can allows the user to use as much or as little chemical as needed per application.

Triamine jet spray contains a three-way amine formulation of MCPA (2,4-D), mecoprop, and dichloroprop. It works on broadleaf weeds like dandelion, clover, and chickweed but is also harmful to trees, shrubs and other desirable broadleaf plants.

It is considered a hazardous pesticide and should be used in accordance with all label requirements including proper personal protective equipment. As with any pesticide product READ THE LABEL for a full understanding of its use.

In conjunction with an integrated pest management program (IPM), Triamine jet spray is an excellent herbicide for effectively spot spraying weeds.
