How to Get Rid of Florida Pusley Weeds?

Florida pusley is one of the most prevalent and tenacious weeds in South Florida and can rapidly take over bare spots in your Palm Beach County lawn. Florida pusley is also called Florida snow or Mexican clover because of their bright white flowers that cover large tracts of your lawn. The seeds they put off are quickly dispersed and will soon become yet another problem.

Small infestations of Florida Pusley can be pulled by hand if you are up to the task, but larger infestations will need the proper post-emergent herbicide applied if you want to remove it. But remember that if you have St. Augustine sod grass you will find your options limited. When opting for a herbicide to control Florida pusley, make sure and follow the directions properly.

A pre-emergent herbicide is the best way to control future Florida pusley infestations in your West Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, Wellington or Jupiter lawn. A pre-emergent herbicide will reduce the number of seeds that can grow into future adult Florida pusley weeds. You can probably use the same same pre-emergent herbicide as you do for dandelions because they are both in the same broadleaf weed family.

Herbicides like Roundup® will kill just about everything green in your lawn, so be careful when using this product as it will damage your sod grass and ornamental landscaping plants as well.

Florida pusley weeds also compete with your lawn’s natural sod grass for nutrients and irrigation, so once again the healthier and thicker your lawn is, the harder it is for Florida pusley to take root in the first place. Professional fertilization service and pest control combined with weed control is the best way to maintain a healthy, beautiful lawn in Palm Beach County.
