Turfix/Trigger Lawnweed

What is Turfix and Trigger Lawnweed?

Turfix and Trigger Lawnweed are selective herbicides designed to control broadleaf weeds without damaging grass. These products are often used in lawn care to eliminate common weeds like dandelions, clover, and thistles, ensuring a healthy, uniform lawn.

Why do I have an intolerance?

Herbicides like Turfix and Trigger contain chemicals such as 2,4-D, dicamba, and MCPP, which can cause skin irritation, respiratory issues, and eye discomfort. For individuals with sensitivities to pesticides, these chemicals may trigger allergic reactions, including sneezing, asthma, or rashes.

What can I do about it?

When applying these products, use protective gear, including gloves, goggles, and a mask to minimize exposure. Apply them on calm days to avoid drift, and ensure proper ventilation. Consider organic alternatives like vinegar-based or citric acid solutions for weed control, which may be less irritating.
