Razorooter® II <br />Roots are killed on contact inside <br />and outside pipe walls, and the thick <br />herbicidal foam penetrates through <br />wye connections to kill roots in <br />lateral lines. Trees and other above <br />ground vegetation are not harmed, <br />and disruption to residents and <br />businesses is minimal. <br />Root Control <br />8.C.b <br />HOW IT WORKS: <br />Making safety a top priority, the profes- <br />sional crew sets up and quickly gets to <br />work. They insert a hose from manhole to <br />manhole, preparing to fill the affected sewer <br />pipe with Razorooter® II. The foam is then <br />released, compressing against pipe sur- <br />faces, penetrating cracks, joints and con- <br />necting sewers. Roots are killed on contact, <br />decay naturally and slough away. Foam <br />with a thick, shaving cream consistency <br />like Duke's is essential to adhere to roots <br />and travel up the laterals. Duke's exclusive <br />dense foam also packs more active chemi- <br />cals in the spaces between the bubbles and <br />has a longer retention time. Duke's applica- <br />tions prevent root -related stoppages for 2-3 <br />years. We guarantee it. <br />Duke's Root Control continually researches the <br />most effective products available. Razorooter® <br />is the only diquat-based herbicide registered b� <br />the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA <br />for controlling nuisance tree roots in sanitary <br />sewer line collection systems and received a <br />classification of "evidence of non -carcinogenic <br />for humans."' In 2014 the EPA further approved <br />an amendment of Duke's diquat dibromide <br />labels to lower the signal word from "warning" <br />to "caution." <br />' USEPA Diquat R.E.D.
