Watch out for Ragweed!

Ragweed season is at its peak in July, triggering health problems for many Québecers.  Here are some tips to keep this troublesome plant off your property.

1. Pull out or mow ragweed

If you have a small yard, pull out the plants to prevent them from spreading. If you have a large yard, mow the plants to eliminate them. 

2. Prevent ragweed from taking root

You can prevent ragweed from growing in your yard by: 

  • Using mulch to cover areas where there is no grass
  • Improving your soil by adding fertilizer
  • Planting other plants or seeding areas where there is no lawn.
