Duke’s Root Control Razorooter II
Duke’s Root Control Razorooter II, the only diquat-based herbicide registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for controlling nuisance tree roots in sanitary sewer line collection systems. Razorooter II also received a classification of “evidence of non-carcinogenicity for humans” (USEPA Diquat R.E.D. Facts, July 1995). In 2014 the EPA further approved an amendment of Duke’s diquat dibromide labels to lower the signal word from “warning” to “caution.” Duke’s Root Control does it all. We use the best products, applied by the most experienced crews. Our crews insert a hose from manhole to manhole, preparing to fill the affected sewer pipe with Razorooter II. The foam is then released, compressing against pipe surfaces, penetrating cracks, joints and connecting sewers. Roots are killed on contact, decay naturally and slough away. 800.447.6687, dukes.com
