How frequently can this be reapplied? I have used many weed killers and we just used a weed and feed with no effect I dont want to kill my lawn though

Once the weeds were gone, they didn't come back, so I only had to spray again to hit the weeds I missed. The grass itself was fine. It was pretty sparse where the weeds had been, but filled in nicely. ...we'll see what happens this spring though. Maybe they'll return and I'll have to use it again??

Directions say "broadcast twice per year" and "spot spray" a second time in two weeks. Read the full directions. They we'll be on Bayers site.

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 !

You can use it up to twice per year. IMO if the weed and feed didn't work I wouldn't worry that it counts as an application. I have used this stuff for a few years now and it isn't real aggressive toward killing lawn grasses. I have cheated and used it up to 3 times in a year with no bad effects.

This product deals effectively with weeds and crabgrass without harming your lawn provided you follow dilution instructions. The first application will help ridding good percentage of the weeds, then you should follow with a second application 3-4 weeks away then as needed.

It does not affect grass - that I've experienced (trying to picture how you would use it to have that concern?)- It won't kill near-by plants or leaves - just works on open cuts. I usually make fresh cuts an apply it right away - it gets on the bark etc. and has never harmed anything else but does an excellent job of stopping "suckers" from coming back ...in that spot! Other suckers may still appear in other areas of the tree, trunk, or branches - it is not systemic where it keeps all from popping up. It will keep suckers away from the cut areas you treat. I have been very pleased with the results from treatments I've done.

It will kill everything, it's very effective. I put it in a sprayer and spot spray all my weeds in and around the plants I want to keep. But if you get them on the ones you want, it will kill them too. Be careful.

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!

I'd hit you lawn, wait a week and then hit it again. After the second hit, it should be dead in 3-4 days and ready to plant bushes. It's powerful stuff, but it takes time to work.

After you watered your lawn. It seemed like you needed to reapply. For Rabbit, Rabbit pellet is better, last for a few week with or without water

As a Master Gardener, I highly recommend Preen Weed Preventer. I have used this product for over 15 years and wouldn't be able to maintain the number of gardens in my yard without it. I apply generously twice a year--before spring /summer annual weeds come up and before fall/winter annual weeds come up. But last year, I didn't read the package label carefully enough and purchased another Preen product: "Preen Lawn Broadleaf Weed Control Granules" and that is a different product altogether. It is formulated to kill weeds that are already growing and will kill your impatiens. It is also harmful to fish, once it gets into the water. So, stick with Preen Weed Preventer and you should be fine. As a Master Gardener, I highly recommend Preen Weed Preventer.

I've been spraying it just like regular weed killer. The grass actually starts to change to a real light green in about 3 days then it turns white and starts to die. Reaction is not like regular weed killer where you can see the weed start yo shrivel up the next day so be patient . I hope you bought the surfactant that is recommended as it helps distribute the tenacity to the roots.

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.

I haven't seen any die yet. Scott's says to keep all pets off of the lawn until after the product has been applied and after the lawn has dried. http://answers.scotts.com/answers/4814-en_us/product/prod100064/scotts-scotts-turf-builder-weed-feed-questions-answers/questions.htm?sort=helpfula

Depending upon the weed types (tough to kill or not), you could try anywhere from a 1 to 3 to a 1 to 6 ratio. I used 1 to 6 and was able to spray everything that needed killin' on my suburban 80 x 120' Florida lot. The odor is very powerful, like you'd crushed 1000 orange peels in your yard. By the next day most weeds were wilted and black. Within 3 or 4 days, they were gone. It's much like a high concentration of acetic acid (vinegar). It burns the weed from the ground up.Hope it works ok for you.TXMP

Sorry, I don't know. I do know that when you use potting/grading soil it already has fertilizer mixed in. I have seen of some of the TV shows they put fertilizer down when lay sod. There is no need to use this which includes week killer. The weeds have to be present and damp so the killer will stick to the weed and penetrate the leaf. I really think it would not do any good till the grass has been established. You should just use fertilizer, but if you already have the Turf Builder, I would try it.

It doesn't start immediately; however, a day or two...maybe more. I can only say truthfully that this stuff KILLS weeds and everything else. Don't even think about spraying close to plants you want to keep. Use a paint brush to paint it on weeds and grass close to those plants.

This product is non selective. It will kill both of the grass and weeds. The Weed B Gone Clover is not very effective to kill the weeds. Does anyone know the more effective weeds killer that the professional lawn care services use?

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.

I noticed weeds on our pavers dying within 3-4 hours. A couple days later they were all dried up and dead. As of right now, we still have no weeds! This stuff works amazing. However, be careful. I sprayed the edges of the pavers where the grass meets and about four inches of grass is now dead. Also, some flowers I planted later and closer to the edge of the beds are having difficulty taking off. I suspect that the weed killer got in the soil there. Still to not have weeds growing in our pavers for the entire growing season, I'm VERY happy. We used to spend lots of time/effort trying to keep up with them and the sidewalk looked horrible.
