Noxious Weeds

GOT WEEDS?

Recent temperatures and sporadic rain have resulted in an explosion of weeds. The predominant nuisance weeds are kochia (soft stem, dark green leaves, 4/8 feet tall) and tumbleweeds (light green spikey leaves).

What can I do?
Mechanically cut down all weeds on your property (including those in easements); bag the weeds and dispose of them at the City of Fallon's transfer station at 2900 Enterprise Way in Fallon.

If you need assistance, view local businesses that provide assistance (PDF).

What can I do to prevent the weeds from growing next year?

The most effective pre-emergent weed control is the application of herbicides at the appropriate time.
