Dearborn City Parks Will Undergo Weed Control May 20-24

Park entrances will be marked with a notice alerting residents that the herbicide has been applied to the grass beginning Monday.

The city of Dearborn will be applying a herbicide to control broadleaf weeds and dandelions at city parks the week of May 20-24. 

According to a press release issued by the city, park attendees are advised that the herbicide has a pungent odor and should avoid contact with grass until the herbicide has dried, which usually is about an hour after application.

The herbicide used is the same that homeowners can purchase at local home and garden stores, the city said.
