Ortho WeedClear Lawn Weed Killer Ready to Spray: For Northern Lawns, 32 oz.

My wife and I bought our first house together in March. 1/2 acre total, sandwiched close to two parks. Lot of animal and bird activity, therefore pollen.Started out with dandelions and clovers then mid summer got hit with a very fast crabgrass infestation. After treating all 3 with different products and at one point scorching my grass, let me share what I learned.The most important factor in fighting weeds that are blended in with grass is making sure it is safe for your grass type and do so by looking at the active ingredients.Second, use your smartphone camera and google search by photo your weed type. Many look identical but the key is some require different chemicals.For my application, this blend of quinclorac and 2,4D is perfect and the best part is it being less money than some other competitor’s products.

There is a comment about that says it does not kill crabgrass. Do not listen to that post because that’s what I use this for and have been using it for years to kill crabgrass. It’s pretty effective and has work very well for me. Crabgrass, clover, dandelion are specifically what I have always used this for and it will work for you. I do put it down with caution and wait until the early hours of the morning or a day when summer temps drop low for a day or two. It works.

This item killed my Clover and broadleaf weeds, but it didn't touch the crabgrass.

I needed something I could use by myself. It said each container would treat 5000 sq ft. All I had to do was attach it to my water hose and spray. #1. It doesn't seem to cover 5000 sq ft. #2. The information I read on the product, said if the leaves on the top were hit, they would die. Nope. I applied as the bottle said, but even after waiting3 1/2 weeks, there was nothing. So I planned to return it. Then a couple of days after asking to return it (2 days ago) I saw some things were beginning to die. But still not everything I sprayed is dying. But since a part of them are dying, I won't return the bottles for a refund. Not because it did a good job, but rather because I got some good from it, I don't think it would be honest to get a full refund. So I'm done with it. I'll try something else. Very disappointed in this product! It is clearly a black eye for Ortho, my favorite for outdoor use. It did not damage the grass.

Didn't work as well as I thought. Have under 1,000 sq ft of lawn and it took 2 bottles over the same area to get any type of results.
