Eraser Maxx Super Concentrate

Eraser Maxx Super Concentrate Herbicide is a non-selective herbicide for controlling unwanted grass, broadleaf weeds, brush and vines in non-crop areas. It contains 43.68% glyphosate and 0.78% imazapyr. The formula kills existing susceptible vegetation and provides residual activity in treated soil, allowing total vegetation control for up to one year under suitable conditions.

The container reads ERASER MAXX SUPER CONCENTRATE, with two Xs. Eraser Max is how a great many people type it, and both spellings point at the same Martin’s product. To be certain which formulation is in your cart, look for Super Concentrate on the front panel and EPA Reg. No. 53883-439 on the label.

Eraser Maxx can provide total vegetation control for up to one year from a single properly applied treatment. Actual duration depends on rainfall, soil conditions, weed pressure and application coverage. Areas with heavy rainfall may require another treatment after approximately six to eight months. Residual activity can persist longer in some heavy clay soils.

Eraser Maxx controls a broad range of grasses, broadleaf weeds, vines and woody plants. Labeled targets include bermudagrass, dallisgrass, johnsongrass, quackgrass, tall fescue, nutsedge, dandelion, ragweed, Canada thistle, field bindweed, blackberry, honeysuckle, kudzu, poison ivy and poison oak. Some difficult species are listed for partial rather than complete control, so results can vary by plant and growth stage.

No. Eraser Maxx is non-selective and can kill desirable lawn grasses along with the weeds growing among them. It is intended for areas where vegetation is not wanted, such as gravel surfaces, fence lines and similar non-crop sites. A selective lawn herbicide is a better choice when the grass itself needs to survive.

No. This is a non-selective herbicide, which means it kills whatever green tissue the spray lands on, bermudagrass and fescue included. The full directions rule out treating established turf you intend to keep, and they rule out seeding a new lawn for up to a year afterward. Reach for a selective turf herbicide when the grass has to come through the treatment alive.

Eraser Maxx is labeled for total vegetation control in many non-crop areas, including driveways, sidewalks, patios, gravel paths, fence rows, vacant lots, farm premises, parking areas, industrial sites and certain roadsides. Always check the current product label before application, because permitted sites and restrictions determine where the herbicide may legally be used.

The correct amount depends on the type of treatment. For spot treatment of established weeds, brush and vines, use 6 fluid ounces of Eraser Maxx per gallon of finished spray. Bare-ground treatment is calculated by area rather than by gallon of water. Apply 7.4 fluid ounces of concentrate per 1,000 square feet using enough water, from 1 to 10 gallons, to cover that area uniformly.

A 32-fluid-ounce quart contains enough concentrate for approximately 4,300 square feet of bare-ground treatment when applied at the labeled rate of 7.4 fluid ounces per 1,000 square feet. Coverage refers to the amount of concentrate required. The quantity of water used to distribute it can vary according to sprayer calibration and application conditions.

Eraser Maxx is rainfast within one hour after application. Rain falling after that hour does not wash the treatment off the foliage. One hour describes resistance to rainfall, not how fast the plants die.

Eraser Maxx contains systemic herbicides that move within susceptible plants rather than only burning exposed leaves. Glyphosate is absorbed primarily through foliage and interferes with a plant process required for growth. Imazapyr also has systemic activity and contributes residual soil control. This makes Eraser Maxx better suited to established perennial vegetation than contact-only products that damage only the tissue directly sprayed.

Eraser Maxx should not be applied over the root systems of desirable trees or shrubs. Keep the treatment away from valuable woody plants, and measure the spacing from the tree’s drip line rather than from its trunk. Roots often extend well beyond the trunk and can grow beneath gravel, driveways and apparently bare areas. Because imazapyr remains active in soil, avoiding direct spray contact with the trunk alone is not enough to protect a nearby tree.

Eraser Maxx should not be used where desirable plants will be established soon after treatment. Its residual soil activity can prevent or damage future plant growth for up to one year, and potentially longer under some soil conditions. Do not use it as a preparation treatment for a lawn, vegetable garden, flower bed or other area that needs to be replanted shortly afterward.

A conventional glyphosate-only herbicide primarily controls vegetation that is already growing when it is sprayed. Eraser Maxx combines glyphosate with imazapyr. The imazapyr component adds residual soil activity, allowing the treatment to suppress vegetation long after the initial application. That makes Eraser Maxx more appropriate for long-term bare-ground control and less appropriate for areas that will soon be replanted.

Yes. RM43 and Eraser Maxx carry the same headline active ingredient concentrations, 43.68% glyphosate isopropylamine salt with 0.78% imazapyr, and Control Solutions treats RM43 as the direct comparison for Eraser Maxx. Follow the label on the container you actually buy. Similar active ingredients do not automatically make every application rate, restriction or state registration interchangeable.

Eraser Maxx is part of the Martin’s product line from Control Solutions Inc., a U.S.-based specialty chemical company headquartered in Pasadena, Texas. Control Solutions develops products for consumer lawn and garden use, professional pest management, turf and ornamental applications, and animal health markets. The company operates brands including Martin’s and is part of the ADAMA Group.

Eraser Maxx is available in three concentrate sizes: 1 quart, 1 gallon and 2.5 gallons. The quart is suited to smaller residential or property-maintenance jobs. One gallon provides approximately 17,300 square feet of bare-ground coverage at the labeled rate, and the 2.5-gallon container provides approximately 43,200 square feet. Container size does not equal finished spray volume. Eraser Maxx is diluted with water before use, so each package can produce substantially more spray solution than the amount of concentrate in the container.
