Win the Battle Over Weeds With Spruce, a Worry-Free Solution

P&G Brings Its Expertise To The Outdoors In A Major Way With Spruce

CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--It’s time to take back your yard this spring with the help of Spruce, a hardworking and worry-free weed & grass killer created by Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG) that delivers visible results in one hour.

A complete game-changer for the lawn and garden category, Spruce is made with only nine simple and effective ingredients, making it safe for use around people and pets (when used as directed), so the whole family can continue to enjoy the outdoors. Everyone from homeowners and gardeners, to parents and pet owners have long-awaited a weed control solution that ensures not only a nice yard, but peace of mind. Finally, the days of keeping your pets indoors while you tackle those pesky weeds are gone, all thanks to Spruce.

“We know how valuable it is to have a backyard or a patio you love. Spruce is the go-to way to care for your outdoor space, ensuring it stays clear of weeds, grass or other undesirable foliage,” said Maris Croswell, CEO of Spruce. “We’re bringing a hassle-free solution to care for your outdoor living space, while prioritizing the well-being of your family (and pets!) too.”

Backed by the Good Housekeeping Seal, Spruce is made differently to work differently with an innovative essential oil formula. Spruce starts working on contact to cut off weeds from their internal water supply. Without water, weeds dehydrate and die fast, going from wilted or browning within an hour to dead within 24 hours. Not only is it a fast way to kill stubborn weeds or grasses, but Spruce’s convenient sprayers make it easier and more accessible, whether you’re an expert or novice weed killer.

Spruce’s robust product line was designed to offer a convenient solution for weeding problems of any kind. Stubborn dandelions in your mulch bed? Obnoxious chickweed in your pavers? Unsightly crabgrass ruining your garden? No weed is safe from Spruce, ensuring you get the job done quickly and easily. It is available in the following forms:

“Having evaluated hundreds of herbicides over the past 40 years, Spruce is the first product I have seen that could truly change the future of weed control, making the job easier and more effective than it has ever been before,” said Dr. Douglas Doohan, professional weed scientist. “Its breakthrough formulation is simple and hardworking, causing the weed to dehydrate and die, so homeowners won’t have to worry about the plant coming back after it’s been thoroughly sprayed. Spruce will be a surprising delight to anyone who uses it and will set the standard for contact herbicide solutions moving forward, driving a shift in the lawn and garden category.”

In fact, Spruce is so worry-free that the brand has teamed up with The Baha Men to address one of the biggest questions in pop culture history - WHO let the dogs out? It’s Spruce! Some football fans will be able to hear a remixed version of their hit song with the debut of Spruce’s first regional ad in this year’s big game on February 9.

And, to really make a difference for the animals, Spruce has teamed up with Best Friends Animal Society, a national animal welfare organization working to save the lives of pets in shelters, to help give more shelter dogs and cats the chance to enjoy the outdoors with new families.

So, it’s time to take back your yard! Choose Spruce, who guarantees complete satisfaction or your money back. The various SKUs listed above can be found at most major retailers where weed killers are traditionally sold.
