The D-limonene dehydrates the plant by stripping its waxy plant cuticle, resulting in death. Visible results are seen in as little as 2 hours. Avenger has proven more effective in test comparing other organic herbicides containing vinegar, citric acid, clove oil or fatty acids (soap), with faster results.
