New Tool For Precision Brush Management
Managing invasive brush and undesirable plants has long been a challenge for landowners, ranchers and forestry professionals. An innovative solution called Brush Bullet is changing the way brush control is approached on pastures, rangeland, forests and non-crop lands. This forward-thinking product uses dissolving herbicide technology, promising effective removal of unwanted vegetation while also improving habitat and forage for livestock and wildlife.
What makes Brush Bullet stand out is its precision. Created by Jason Abraham to target and remove specific woody plants without harming surrounding vegetation, it’s proven effective against over 20 invasive species and shrubs while preserving the natural ecosystem.
The product is suitable for a variety of applications and can be applied year-round, but the best results are usually seen from February to August when average temperatures exceed 60 F.
Brush Bullet herbicides come in 1/2-in. dia. pellets. The application is straightforward: use one pellet for every 3 ft. of plant height or canopy width, distributed at the base of the target plant.
An applicator license isn’t required, but users should follow label instructions for protective equipment to ensure safe and responsible application. The pellets can be applied either by hand or from up to 150 ft. away, using one of two available applicator gun models: a mechanical, CO2-powered, semi-automatic gun or a pump applicator gun.
Depending on the size of the land, many customers make applications using ATVs, side-by-sides, horses, trucks and even helicopters. For those needing assistance, a network of professional applicators is ready to help.
“You can’t imagine how much time that saves you when you don’t have to walk up to each and every tree or shrub you want to get rid of,” Abraham says. “The key is that the tree catches the bullet and drops it exactly where you want it.”
Brush Bullet pellets activate with just 1 in. of rain, causing them to dissolve and initiate plant decay within 90 days. The herbicide is then absorbed into the roots, stopping further growth and reproduction.
Beyond effectiveness, Brush Bullet’s innovative approach saves time and labor. Its precision targeting and hyper-concentrated formula eliminate waste from over-spraying, delivering cost savings to land managers.
The company’s pump applicator gun sells for $55, while the semi-automatic gun is priced at $289.95. A complete kit includes a high-pressure air compressor, an applicator gun, two HPA bottles, and 1 lb. of pellets in a reusable pod. It costs $1,099 plus S&H.
