Product Description

BUFFALO Herbicide (Surefire Buffalo, Bindi and Broadleaf Weedkiller) is a 5 L pack of a herbicide with 200 g/L bromoxynil (as the n-octanoyl ester) and 200 g/L MCPA (as the ethyl hexyl ester) (APVMA 80024). The label lists broadleaf weeds in wheat, barley, oats, cereal rye, triticale, linseed and grass pastures, and in established turf: couch (including Queensland blue), kikuyu, paspalum, buffalo, fescue, bent and rye lawns.

Turf weeds and rate. For turf the label lists bindy-eye, jo-jo, cudweed, dandelion, catsear, plantains, thistles, oxalis, capeweed, creeping buttercup, fleabane and clover (not Tasmania), at 300 mL per 100 L of water or 60 mL per 100 m².

It will damage plants you want to keep. Avoid spray drift and vapour onto susceptible crops such as cotton, tobacco, tomatoes, vines, lupins, fruit trees and ornamentals. Do not apply under conditions that may cause drift onto nearby susceptible plants, crops or pastures. Do not apply to diseased or frost affected crops or turf, or if rain is likely within 4 hours.

Grazing and clippings. The label says do not harvest, graze or cut for stock food for 8 weeks after application.

Bees and fish. Dangerous to bees: do not spray plants in flower when bees are foraging, and spray at night or early morning. Dangerous to fish: do not contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or used containers.

How to use it. See the Application Rates tab, our herbicide mixing guide and the full label before mixing. Apply only when weeds are actively growing.

Before you buy. The label asks for cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist, a washable hat, elbow-length PVC gloves, and a face shield or goggles. If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or the Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting.

Tips for use

Before Application:

Avoid spraying on windy days or if rain is expected within 24 hours.
Don’t apply when temperatures might exceed 30°C in the next 72 hours.
Ensure the soil is moist and the lawn is not under stress from dryness.
Do not mow or fertilize the lawn for 7 days before or after application.
Only spray when weeds are actively growing and not wilted by dry or cold weather.

 

How to Apply:

Use a garden sprayer and follow the dilution instructions on the packaging.
Avoid fine droplets to minimize spray drift, especially on windy days.
Ensure the spray covers the recommended area evenly.
If it rains within 24 hours of application, the effectiveness may be reduced.
Some weeds may need a second application after two weeks if they persist.

 

Important Tips:

Do not spray weeds within a week of mowing; wait at least 7 days after applying before mowing again.
Avoid letting the spray drift onto desirable plants, shallow-rooted trees, or shrubs.

 

Caution:

Keep sprays and containers away from drains, sewers, streams, and ponds.
Do not feed treated grass clippings to animals.
Clean spraying equipment thoroughly if reusing it for other purposes.

 

Safety Precautions:

Wear protective clothing, gloves, and goggles during application.
Avoid skin and eye contact; do not inhale spray mist.
Wash thoroughly after use, including gloves and clothing.

For poisoning, contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre at 131 126.
If swallowed, do not induce vomiting—drink water.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a selective and a non-selective herbicide?

A selective herbicide kills target weeds while leaving desirable plants unharmed - for example, a lawn-safe product that removes bindii and clover from buffalo or couch without damaging the turf. A non-selective herbicide such as glyphosate kills almost any green plant it contacts, so it is used for driveways, fence lines, garden-bed prep and total vegetation control, never on lawns.

What is a pre-emergent herbicide and when do I apply it?

A pre-emergent creates a barrier in the top layer of soil that stops weed seeds from establishing as they germinate. It does not control weeds that are already growing. Apply it before the target weed germinates - late summer to early autumn for winter grass, and early spring for summer grasses like crabgrass and crowsfoot - then water it in.

Will herbicide damage my lawn?

Only if you use the wrong type. Non-selective herbicides (glyphosate) will kill or badly damage turf. Selective lawn herbicides are formulated to be safe on common Australian turf at label rates, but tolerance varies by grass - buffalo is the most sensitive - so always check the label lists your turf type before spraying.
