What is it?
ROOTX is a nonsystemic, patented chemical root control formula. This means
it only kills the roots it comes in contact with, not the tree or plant
itself. The active ingredient, Dichlobenil, will not only kill roots, but
will also prevent their regrowth for up to one year. ROOTX is the No. 1
environmentally safe, easy-to-use, root killer on the market today.
How does it work?
ROOTX is packaged
as two dry powder components in one container. When these components come in
contact with water, they create a sticky foam. This foam fills the entire
pipe, coating the roots and pipeline surfaces with the ROOTX formula. ROOTX
leaves a residue above the water line that continues to kill roots and
inhibits new growth for up to 12 months. The active ingredient in ROOTX,
Dichlobenil, is applied at concentrations of .55% or 5500 parts per million.
This is 55 times the minimum level needed to kill root tissue exposed to
Dichlobenil from 30 minutes to one hour.
Environmentally safe
ROOTX does not
contain Copper Sulfate or Metham Sodium, which are both harmful to the
environment and to bacteria/fungi, which normally decompose dead roots.
These two chemicals also have harmful effects on wastewater treatment plant
biology. ROOTX's patented combination of chemicals helps promote and speed
up the natural decomposition of the dead roots. This unique ability to
perform both the root killing and removal function while being
environmentally safe is exclusive to ROOTX.
Save Money
ROOTX can be used
with or without mechanical root-cutting equipment. Some situations such as a
root blockage will require mechanical removal of roots. Mechanical removal
is an excellent short-term solution. However, if the roots are cut and left
untreated (just like pruning a tree or a bush), they will come back bigger
and stronger. This process will eventually destroy a sewer line and require
the line to be dug up and replaced. The replacement of a sewer line would
cost much more than an annual treatment with ROOTX.
