The Town of Kingsville intends to control Phragmites along all rural roads in the municipality. This work was originally meant to commence August 28, 2025, weather permitting to September 29, 2025, but due to unforeseen delays, spraying will now take place between October 15, 2025 and October 31, 2025.
Spraying is weather dependent, but we can confirm it will be completed during the above time frame. The roadsides will be sprayed once to kill the Phragmites, and they will be mowed in the late winter or early spring.
We are controlling Phragmites under the Public Works and Safety exemption to the Cosmetic Pesticide Ban in subsection 7.1(2) of the Pesticides Act for the promotion of public health or safety and to remove this invasive plant.
The following pesticides registered under the Pest Control Act (Canada) will be used:
- Arsenal Powerline Herbicide (Reg# 30203), containing the active ingredient Imazapyr, present as the isopropylamine salt.
- VisionMax Silviculture Herbicide (Reg#27736), containing the active ingredients Glyphosate, present as potassium salt.
- MSO Spray Adjuvant (Reg#33193), containing the active ingredients surfactant blend 100%
