Herbicide Mistakes to Avoid – Trust the Experts at Weed Busters

Using herbicides to control weeds can be tricky, and mistakes can lead to unintended damage. At Weed Busters, based in Greenwood, Perth, we’ve seen the consequences of herbicide mishaps—and we’re here to help you avoid them.

Understanding Herbicides: Selective vs. Non-Selective

  • Selective Herbicides: Target specific plants without harming others (e.g., killing weeds but not your lawn, or grass but not your garden plants).

  • Non-Selective Herbicides: Kill everything they touch, including desirable plants. Glyphosate (Roundup) is a common example and requires extreme caution.

Common Herbicide Mistakes.


The photos below (not our work—these were homeowner errors!) show what can happen when non-selective herbicides are misused: lawns, plants, and garden beds can be accidentally killed. Avoid these costly mistakes by choosing professional weed control.
