Spectracide Weed & Grass Killer with AccuShot Power Sprayer, 1.33 Gal

Good product, but will kill grass, as well. Be careful where you use it.

've tried several weed killers over the years, and Spectracide Weed & Grass Killer continues to be the best value for the price. It works fast, and in my experience, most weeds start dying within 24 hours of application. What I like most is that it doesn't just kill the existing weeds—it also helps keep new ones from growing back for a few months. That makes a huge difference when it comes to yard maintenance. I typically apply it 3 to 4 times a year around my yard, and it makes keeping everything under control incredibly easy. When the weeds and unwanted grass aren't constantly coming back, there's a lot less work to do. For the cost and the results, I haven't found anything that beats it. Easy 5 stars.

Fairly fast acting and limited toxicity to allow planting next day seemed to be a plus as I have weeds near real plants. I used the stream setting, not spray, to minimize any of the liquid hitting desired plantlife. Spraying mid-day (85f, dewpoint 62) and then another spray the next day because nothing looked any different, I have since day 2 seen a lot of yellowing - but with some taller grass and weeds still remaining green, so it takes more than 3 hours to see a reaction, especially for larger growths where more than one spritz will do it. "Douse the fritters, twice if not thrice" is all I can say. Hoping the third time works, will look up and write down the stubborn species, many of which were broad-leafed if not grass-like. Many yellowed grass tufts the size of a fist were easily pulled out from the driveway when I went out the next day. Before they wouldn't budge. Evaporation on a hot day aside as that probably reduces efficacy, it is also rain-proof after 15 minutes. That's important for preventing run-off. Will do another round this weekend on what's left (appx 50% of weeds). This product does work, but the trade-offs for convenience might be a weaker poison. That's okay, I don't want my good plants nearby harmed because of runoff and using alternatives I'd read about are far more caustic and indiscriminate. Update (next day entry): more weeds and grass turned yellow. A couple weeds did still look healthy green but I might have missed spritzing those. Doused those as well.

I used this product in my backyard along the patio cracks and around a small garden border where weeds keep coming back. The continuous sprayer makes it simple to cover a larger area without stopping, and the trigger feels comfortable during use. I applied it before watering, and later that day I could already see some of the leaves starting to fade. Over the next few days, most of the weeds dried out down to the root, which cut down on how often I had to deal with them again. It works better on smaller or younger weeds, though. Some thicker ones needed a second application to fully get rid of them. I also noticed that the smell lingers for a bit right after spraying, so I try to use it when no one else is around. The coverage is decent, but the cost is a little higher than expected for regular yard maintenance.

Works kinda slow but this does exactly what it says kills weeds and grass, Use it in flower beds

It kills the weeds! I battle with Canadian Thistle every year in my flower garden. They are hard to pull up and hard on the hands. I sprayed those pests from top to bottom and there is nothing left of them but shriveled black strings! It took about 2-3 days to reach the blackened stage for the big ones. Smaller weeds were dead the next day. I have never had a weed spray that would kill these so effectively. It worked within hours on smaller weeds. I was pleased that this is one purchase where the batteries are included and installed! I like the extendable nozzle as the thistles are all around my beloved irises and columbine. Got a little bit on one of the iris leaves, so I just cut that piece off to hopefully keep it from affecting the rhizome. I had a little bit of a issue when it would stop spraying, but quickly noticed the hose had kinked near the bottle. Easily solved by holding the sprayer a little differently. I am very pleased with this product and the battery-powered sprayer makes it so much easier for my 84 year old hands.

Not effective to kill weed and grass. It lasts about 2 weeks and the weeds come back with the vengeance.

Spectracide Weed & Grass Killer, 1.33 Gallons, With AccuShot Continuous Power Sprayer works great on weeds for the cost. Instructions are easy to follow and spray. I have been using this weed killer for a while and kills my weeds pretty fast. I normally use the refills but have to put into a sprayer and then clean the sprayer so I wanted to try this method. Battery wand works ok but not perfect maybe I got one that is somewhat deffective. Overall it is doing the job I needed for so I can spray here and there when needed.
