Bayer Environmental Science


Finale®

Finale® is a broad spectrum non-selective herbicide which acts mainly by contact but some translaminar movement can occur within aerial plant parts. Finale® kills all green tissue but does not harm mature bark and deep-rooted perennial weeds will regrow. As Finale® only kills foliage it touches it is good for using around shrubs and is suitable for use in line-marking preparation.






Freeway®

A persistent non-selective herbicide in a non-irritant formulation for the control of a wide range of annual and perennial broad-leaved weeds and grasses around buildings. Can also be used as a pre-emergence herbicide selectively around trees & shrubs. Must not be used near watercourses.






Pistol®

Pistol® is a barrier acting non-selective total herbicide for the control of a wide range of annual and perennial broad-leaved weeds and grasses on soft and gravel surfaces in amenity situations and is rainfast within one hour. One application gives rapid knockdown and kill within 8-10 days, whilst barrier action prevents germination for up to 9 months. Safe for operators as it is classified as non-hazardous/non-irritant.






Timbrel®

An effective selective scrub and brushwood herbicide. Controls woody and difficult perennial weeds in coarse grassland and woodland. Also effective for cut stump treatments and for Rhododendron control. Up to 2 treatments are possible per year. 7 days must be allowed before grazing and until the foliage of any poisonous weeds are dead and unpalatable.

Tildenet Mulchtex 60

Mulchtex 60 is a soil membrane with a unique porous structure that allows air, water and liquid nutrients to pass through whilst impeding weed growth. It can be installed in tree and shrub plantings and covered with a layer of bark, peat, wood-chip or gravel. Mulchtex 60 is equally effective under brick or gravel paths where it will separate the aggregate from the soil and prevent the loss of stone into the soil and weeds from growing into the paths.


Available in rolls:1.5m x 100m, or in packs:1.5m x 5m.
