As I understand it, it works on just about any caterpillar. It will work on a lawn, but has a short life span, not to exceed your next lawn watering or heavy rain. Better to put down the day after a heavy watering.

Yes it will but it's slow. It will pull grass and weeds out of the ground, roots and all. You will have to stop and rake the stuff out of the way as you move along the area. I have a mantis tiller which really tears up the ground but it doesn't pull the weeds out as well as the B&D.; My battery lasts for about 30 miinutes, but I have 4 batteries so not a problem....

you can use it for lawns but it doesn't work well at all, read some reviews.

I just followed the directions and it worked fairly well. That is, I did see a difference in the flies. I used it in a horse barn that has open areas to the outside. The spray was done inside, but the outside area was very close to the sprayed areas. It surely is worth a try if you are trying to control pests.

No. I purchased for my lawn, and when I reviewed the application instructions found out it is only for ornamental areas. I contacted the seller to return because of this, and they said it was also for yards and that I could contact Dow to verify. I contacted Dow and was told it is only for ornamentals, and that it is illegal to apply to lawns and could kill them. I returned the product.

I've only used it for box elder bugs and those are about the only bugs we have...it kills them...very effective. When I saw your question I read the manufacturers instructions and it does list mosquitos and chiggers. It list chiggers as a turf pest. Good luck...We don't have chiggers but we're both from the East and I've gotten eaten by chiggers in KY and in IN and they're awful. Hope it kills 'em dead!

I have used it for a couple of years on several large Leyland Cypress trees. It took care of the problem I had with bagworms. Just beware that it can take a month for the pesticide to get distributed throughout the tree. I have also used this on River Birches to control Japenese beetles.

I use it to kill everything that grows on the road next to my curb. I find after a few days it starts to work and within the week, they are gone (grass and weeds). I usually have to do it twice a season in CT.

Bayer claims that it is not effective on nematodes. I have had no personal experience with it for nematodes.

I have used it on bermuda grass and just about every other weed and it works well. I do cheat a little and make it double the strength recommended. This allows me to spray the weed just a little (half or so of the weed) and it will die. While it works well on weeds it will also kill anything that gets sprayed. If you get some spray on a plant you need to wash it off or cut the leaf off.

We used it a few times over the summer -- basically until it ran out. Worked really well. HOWEVER! It also (unfortunately) killed all the worms. So our grass suffered a bit, I think, because of it. We also had lots of rain last summer, so that might've been the cause, but we did notice a preponderance of worm carcasses after applying the EcoSMART. So I would definitely keep it close to your house, and not use all over the lawn or in garden areas.

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 is not the product for weeds in grass. It will kill almost anything but woody shrubs. I suggest BASF/Bayer "Season Long Weed Control for Lawns". I have used it for 2 seasons on a sunny zoysia lawn in Atlanta and am happy with the results. Ortho makes several Weed-B-Gone products that are safe on lawns and go after specific types of weeds. Be sure to follow the directions to get the best results.

I really do not think it will work for you. I use mine solely for my already prepped garden an for my already prepped areas around my shrubs and flowers. It is a light duty unit and will not break up grass unless it is very wet and almost muddy. Who want to till mud?!

I've used this rake in to keep weeds out of my garden and it works great. I haven't tried it on heavy clay soils but I think it won't work well. The blade would probably have trouble cutting the soil and the whole rake may not be strong enough to endure that kind of punishment. You are better off using another tool to break up the clay. After the clay is properly mulched, this rake would work well.

I have used this product for two years and have not had the lawn fungus come back in that time. I do have tall fescue and yes it does work, Mmy neighbors are still having problems with their lawns and have asked me what I have been using.
