Roebic Laboratories Inc FRK-12 Foaming Root Killer

Product Description

The ROEBIC LABORATORIES INC FRK-12 is a foaming root killer formulated for use in residential sewer lines and septic systems. The foam expands to coat pipe walls and root masses, delivering active herbicide directly to intrusive roots that have entered drain lines through joints and cracks. The formula kills existing roots and helps inhibit new root growth without harming surrounding trees, ground cover, or the natural bacterial balance in septic tanks. It contains no copper sulfate. Licensed plumbers and drain service technicians typically apply this product as part of routine preventive maintenance programs.

The FRK-12 is suited for residential and light commercial applications where tree root intrusion is a recurring problem in sewer laterals and septic drain fields. Application is performed through a standard toilet flush, requiring no special equipment or cleanout access. Annual use is recommended to maintain clear lines and reduce root re-establishment between service intervals.

Installation Notes

Application is handled by licensed plumbers or drain service technicians following product label directions.
