The City of Marysville Public Works Department has begun its annual weed spraying program to control pesky weeds along city curbs, sidewalks, traffic islands and main arterials throughout the city.
Public Works crews, using state-certified applicators, are spraying professional herbicide for industrial, turf and ornamental weed control throughout the city using Crossbow and Roundup PRO, says Brut Gunderson, street maintenance supervisor.
As the weather allows, crews will use these low risk, EPA-approved household-type products through June to control weed proliferation and blackberry brambles that can lead to decay and deterioration of sidewalks and public rights of way. The weeds tend to be an eyesore in the community as well, according to Gunderson.
Questions or concerns about the program should be directed to City Operations Manager Terry C. Hawley at (360) 363-8161 or Gunderson at (360) 363-8260.
