Weed Control on Pavement & Sidewalks To Begin in June

The Town of Kittery has begun a new program called, SWEEP (Sustainable Weed Control on Pavements) Program. SWEEP emphasizes weed prevention to reduce herbicide usage. SWEEP will include pavement crack and crevice filling and sand removal. 

As part of our program to control vegetation emerging from pavements and sidewalks, the Town of Kittery’s licensed contractor will be completing spot crack and crevice herbicide applications this season. Herbicides will be applied beginning in June with secondary applications completed through September, as needed.  Target areas include municipal sidewalks, walkways and parking lots. The herbicide being applied is an organically certified herbicide, Finalsan Herbicidal Soap.
