Yes, you can spray moss killer in the rain, but with important considerations. Damp conditions actually help moss killer absorb effectively, however, excessive rainfall or wind can hinder the application and effectiveness.
Here's a breakdown:
-
Ideal Conditions: Damp conditions are beneficial because they help the moss killer adhere to and penetrate the moss. Light rain or damp conditions are ideal.
-
Too Much Rain: Heavy or torrential rain can wash away the moss killer before it has time to work, rendering the application ineffective.
-
Wind: Windy conditions can cause the spray to drift, missing the target area and potentially harming other plants.
-
Temperature: Avoid applying moss killer in frosty weather, as freezing temperatures can reduce its effectiveness.
-
Application Guidelines:
- Check the weather forecast before application.
- Avoid spraying if heavy rain is expected within 24-48 hours.
- Choose a calm day with little to no wind.
- Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the moss killer product.
In summary, light rain or damp conditions are acceptable, and may even be beneficial, for applying moss killer. Avoid heavy rain, wind, and frosty weather.
