It’s usually not recommended to cut weeds before spraying them with herbicide. Cutting weeds can reduce the effectiveness of the herbicide by limiting the amount of leaf surface available to absorb the chemical. For herbicides to work most effectively, they need to be applied to the leaves of the weeds, where the chemical can be absorbed and transported throughout the plant, including to the roots. When weeds are intact, the herbicide can more effectively reach and kill the entire plant, including the root system essential for preventing regrowth.
In cases where weeds are very tall or dense, it might be necessary to trim them down after an initial herbicide application and then apply the herbicide again to any regrowth. This approach ensures that the chemical reaches the newly exposed and often more active growth areas, increasing the overall efficacy of the treatment. Always follow the specific instructions on the herbicide label for the best results.

Humidity levels in your home can impact winter pest infestations. High humidity can attract pests like silverfish and cockroaches, while low humidity can deter them. Proper ventilation and moisture control can help reduce humidity levels in problem areas, making your home less appealing to these pests.
The lifespan of a caterpillar varies depending on the species and environmental conditions but typically ranges from a few weeks to several months. This period is spent mostly in feeding and growth, as the caterpillar must store enough energy and resources to transform into a moth or butterfly. This stage is followed by the pupal stage, where the caterpillar metamorphoses into its adult form. Environmental factors such as temperature, availability of food, and predation rates can significantly influence the duration of the caterpillar stage. Some species have multiple generations per year, while others may have a longer, more drawn-out lifecycle depending on climatic conditions.
