Noxious Weed Control

Fortay can help you combat even the most difficult to control noxious weeds. We use proven products along with our extensive training and knowledge to bring your property back to beauty, health and productivity.

Noxious weeds are named such because they are restricted by federal and state law. This means plants listed by the Colorado Department of Agriculture as noxious  must be controlled. A noxious weed must meet on or more of the following criteria:
• Aggressively invades or is detrimental to economic crops or native plant communities
• Is poisonous to livestock
• Is a carrier of detrimental insects, diseases or parasites
• The direct or indirect presence of this plant is detrimental to the environmentally sound management of natural or agricultural ecosystems.
• The problem for land owners is that noxious weeds cannot be effectively controlled with "over the counter" herbicides or in a single treatment. To control these weeds takes long-term management planning and knowledge to deliver measurable results while providing efficient, timely and cost-effective service.
