We sprayed this on our weeds, it killed what was there, but the weeds are growing back very quickly. Should this have performed better?

Hi, You need to spray them in hot sun during the heat of the day. Also try to spray down into the root. After a few days when you see them turn brown, try to pull the weed up by the root, just to be sure. Spraying them repeatedly makes them tired, and eventually they should die. But, other weeds will continually grow. Also, you can spread weeds if you have cut them while seeding or in bloom with your lawnmower or weedeater, so you need to clean them occasionally, or after each use, if you are seriously trying to get rid of weeds in the lawn.If its in your patio, just plan to spray every few weeks in sun.

adding 2 ounces slat and 2 teaspoons dish wash. I've killed unwanted growth, with no return. Like others said pull out root to be sure.

It is intended to be used full-strength. Once everything has browned out, you have to physically remove the "dead" weeds. You may need a hoe or weeding fork to accomplish this task. This keeps any living roots from taking hold and starting all over again. I learned this the hard way - I sprayed an area, didn't clear it, and now the weeds are back. I still believe this is the safest and most effective weed killer on the market.

We used it to kill our entire back lawn including weeds. It worked very well. It does need a lot of vinegar and a lot of hot sun, if possible. I had to re-treat a couple of spots, but they succumbed in due season.

No. The vinegar only does top kill, not systemic kill like roundup. Lots of weeds also propagate by rhizomes, so top kill doesn't affect them as much. I switched to a stronger vinegar solution for the reasons you are stating. I ended up buying glacial acetic acid (98% vinegar and very very caustic), and making a 50+% solution which did more thorough killing of difficult weeds like plantain, burdock, etc. Vinegar is something you will need to periodically reapply. It's the trade off for not having toxic monsanto chemicals in your ground/food!!

Needs to be used on a hot sunny day. I mix it with citrus oil and a few drops of clove oil.

I actually used it on my lawn, and it lasts until the new seeds germinate that are still in the ground, I put it down with an 30 gallon tank sprayer on my thirteen acre lawn last spring, it did an amazing job killing the weeds in my centipede grass, But this spring some of the weeds were back, so I put it down again this year.I believe that this is a post emergent herbicide so it only effects what is growing on top and not what is dormant in the ground.enough treatments and I hope to have all the weeds and their seeds gone, this seems to be what I need to get it done.read the directions carefully or it will kill everything it touches if mixed to strong.

No, it will kill all but the very hardiest plant. Now, I do put it directly on some particularly nasty weeds in my yard. It will kill them, and then the grass eventually grows back.

I would suggest that you read application schedule on the weed and feed you applied ! The Bayer product has application rates and frequency of application suggestions on Label ! No weed killers work immediately, most take several days or more before you start to see results ! Read the instructions before using any Herbicide, Insecticide, or Pesticide and apply as directed !

We have that darned stuff in our yard too. The Weed remover works pretty darned well, as long as your ground is damp from spring rains. Once it gets hard and dry, not so good. It's really kind of fun to pull the thistles and dandilions out using this device -- as long as the ground is damp, that is.

I would not unless you are carefully spraying it directly on the weeds you want to get rid of..

Not clear why other commenter didn't get expected results. I recommend - with any weed killer - painting it on rather than spraying, when you are working around other plants.

I have not experienced this particular weed. However, Id bet it will do the job. I use trimec because it kills all the weeds Ive encountered. If you have ever experience creeping charley youll know what I mean.

It should. It kills anything in the grass family. The product info is on their website. It has to be applied when grass is actively growing.

have tried this 2x. did not kill entire yard, seeds took temporarily. the grass later died or diapeared & the weeds came back or a bald spot appeared. in other sections of yard had almost 1/2 yard cleared, all that hapened after temp.growth was the ST AUGUSTINE & BERMUDA pushed out new grass. my guess is that your yard has 2 be as bald as the MOON!

Make sure to really soak the base of the weeds. Took most of the weeds about a week to start to die

It killed mine in the southeast region. It kills a lot of weeds, but not the grass. My grass looks greatas it is able to fill in without all the weeds taking over. It even appears to be more green after usage. 1 bottle has lasted me 2 summers so far. Great product!I will buy again!

This stuff works great, BUT it will kill EVERYTHING including your grass! Your best bet is a broadleaf killer like Weed-B-Gone, it works well!

I have only really used the spray portion on the weeds. Hard to guess how high it would spray. Depends on how direct or wide your spray is I guess.

The answer that I've heard is not very much. Judging by how small the quantity you get compared to a gallon of product you use it with, it must be small indeed. I used it. Did it do any good? I have no idea. I killed my weeds when I used it, just like I killed my weeds when I didn't. This is one product that would take a lot of scientists doing a lot of controlled experiments over a long period of time, to verify. To muddy the waters even more, I've heard liquid dish soap does the same thing, so I throw in some dish soap with my weed killer. Does that work better? I have no idea. Sheesh!

I do believe that Tenacity killed this particular weed. I plan to apply it again preemergently in the spring (in central Ohio). It worked miraculously on quack grass, clover and a variety of other weeds that no other product could touch.

Technically I do not know - It works really well as long as you mix according to the instructions - Killed all the weeds and did not touch the lawn. I waited three weeks and then used it again to kill what came up since the first treatment. I typically will use it now as the only plants growing inn the lawn right now are the weeds.
