[QUOTE="Arnold Ziffle, post: 35087, member: 43"] The pellets you are referring to are sold as Spike, and also there is Pronone Power Pellets. I would imagine that any large farm supply store in Fayette County would carry one or both. You won't see results as quickly as you would with Remedy/diesel or with foliar applied Grazon, Reclaim, etc. but supposedly they do give good root kill once the poison has translocated into the roots after some rain. I guess I don't understand why someone warned you about doing it when rain is coming -- the rain is what gets the poison disolved and down into the root zone. Also, I believe the label indicates that the preferable time to put out the pellets is spring time, but you probably could get decent results even now. I've been tempted to try the pellets but haven't yet, so I don't know about the price. I'm told they work better in relatively sandy soil as opposed to the black gumbo that I have (the poison "binds up" with clay too close to the surface in heavy gubmo soils I think). And correct, you would want to avoid spreading the pellets next to target species if there are desirable trees such as oaks & pecans that might have roots in the immediate area, just like you would with Velpar.
