The spray program runs until June 20
Rural roadsides across Leeds and Grenville will soon be sprayed with herbicides to control weeds, starting May 20, 2025, weather permitting.
Wagar and Corput Weed Control Inc. has been hired to spray sections of County Roads 18 to 25, 43, and 44. Spraying will also happen on selected Township Roads in Athens, Augusta, Edwardsburgh/Cardinal, Elizabethtown-Kitley, Front of Yonge, Leeds and Thousand Islands, Merrickville-Wolford, and North Grenville. All county guide rails, except those in Rideau Lakes, are included.
Approved pesticides being used include ClearView Herbicide, Navius FLEX, and Gateway Adjuvant. These products are registered under the Pest Control Products Act and are allowed under the public health and safety exception in Ontario’s Pesticides Act.
The spray program runs until June 20. Property owners can post “No Spray” signs if they do not want spraying near their land.
