How do I kill off trumpet/hummingbird vine without killing my new sod?
Trumpet vine is a very aggressive woody plant that can not be controlled through cultivation methods alone. Herbicides with triclopyr as the active ingredient are very effective on woody plants like trumpet vine and do not harm most lawns. Crossbow, ORTHO Brush-B-Gon %26amp; Bayer's Brush Killer all can be effectively used to spot treat trumpet vine in your lawn. Read the label %26amp; follow directions when applying any pesticide. Be certain that the product you use is labeled for your grass type. It is a federal offense to use a pesticide in a manner inconsisatnt with its label.



2,4-D is safe for most lawns, but you will need more than one app with this active ingredient.
Reply:2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid, also known just as 2,4-D. This selective herbicide is the third most used in the United States. It is a broadleaf weed herbicide. Go to a store like Home Depot and in their garden section you will easily find many products with this as an active ingredient. Just look on the bottle and find where it shows the active ingredients in the bottle. If 2,4-D is the active ingredient then it will work to help solve your problem. Just follow the directions on the bottle and it will work. DO NOT use a higher rate than instructed. You may need more than one application to get 100% results. Applications 7-10 days apart if needed. Lastly, you didn't mention the type of sod that you had but because you said that it came in rolls I would guess that it is a cool season grass such as Bluegrass. Read the label to be sure that the type of grass that you have is tolerent to 2,4-D applications.



Good Luck
