Return to Herbicide Injury & Weeds
Weeds around tunnels increase the chance of weed seeds entering structures, hamper airflow, and provide potential reservoirs for insects and diseases. A vegetation-free strip should be maintained around perimeter of structures.

Management:
- Remove or mow vegetation in outside perimeter.
- Apply gravel, plastic mulch, landscape fabric, or natural mulch near exterior walls.
