Branch Creek, a subsidiary of SynaTek Solutions, launched its Safer Play line of turf and lawn products.
Safer Play’s Weed Shield, Grub Shield and Lawn Food with Crabgrass Prevention is designed to help homeowners and lawn care professionals protect lawns and turf fields from weeds and insects, without the need to use U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-registered pesticides.
“These are game-changing turf solutions, providing the control you want without the pesticides you don’t,” said Nate Clemmer, CEO of Branch Creek. “These products are so benign, they don’t require yellow hazard signs. Yet, they are so potent and effective, you’ll never need to use registered pesticides.”
This line of liquid and granular control products is made of ingredients classified as “minimum risk” under section 25(b) of the EPA’s Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).
Lawn Food with Crabgrass Prevention is a nonmanure-based, biosolid-free fertilizer with no restrictions on reentry time after application. Weed Shield kills and prevents weeds from forming with a botanical oil blend that does not harm grass. With a unique combination of botanical oils, oyster and clamshells, Grub Shield is a natural product that works to control grubs and other surface-feeding insects such as chinch bugs.
