Spruce
Spruce is a new, hardworking, and worry-free weed & grass killer that is safe for use around people and pets when used as directed. Made with only nine simple yet effective ingredients, Spruce’s innovative formula shows visible results in just one hour, with dead weeds in one day. No more choosing between weeding your yard and letting your children and pets play outside — Spruce turns a dreaded chore into one that is surprisingly satisfying.
Spruce is made differently to work differently, working on contact by cutting off weeds from their internal water supply. Without water, weeds dehydrate and die quickly, wilting or browning within just one hour. Not only is it a fast way to kill stubborn weeds and grasses, but Spruce’s convenient sprayers make the process easier and more accessible — whether you’re an expert or a novice weed killer.
Spruce is available in six different varieties, offering parents a convenient treatment option for even the most stubborn weeds.
