Spectracide Weed Stop Crabgrass Preventer and Broadleaf Weed Killer...

Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2014

Style: GranulesSize: SingleVerified Purchase

4/18/2014
See long term results below.
Zeroth- this is the only crabgrass product I've found that does not include fertilizer.
First- this clearly states but I missed that this includes broadleaf weed killer, i.e., it includes multiple herbicides that work differently. I only cared that it included the Dimension herbicide.
Second- I think some reviewers may be confused about application. This product contains both a pre-emergent herbicide and post emergent herbicides. The former will work if this is applied any time- it just has to be watered in. The latter has to be applied to damp leaves.
Third: This includes a pre-emergent herbicide, dithiopyr/Dimension, meaning it is designed to keep some noxious seeds from sprouting, particularly crabgrass. Others it prevents include many noxious grasses and some broadleafs, including dandelions. Wiith the exception of very small crabgrass, dithiopyr won't control any of these that have sprouted, even if very small). This may be applied any time, wet or dry, but won't start working until it's watered in.
Fourth- it includes broadleaf weed killers. For that to work best, the vegetation must be wet so the product sticks to the leaves, and needs to not be washed off for about 24 hours. Applied correctly it will kill a lot of weeds- if they are growing at that point. A limited selection of weeds that try to sprout later *may* be controlled.

If applied early spring, the pre-emergent herbicide should help control noxious grasses and a limited set of broadleaf weeds. After things grow a bit, this can provide both pre-emergent control for seeds that sprout later in the season, and post emergent control for weeds that have sprouted. Personally, I think a purely pre-emergent makes sense for early in the season, and then a purely post emergent makes sense after a goodly crop of weeds have appeared.

Application note: this is a very light and fluffy product and should only be applied in dead calm- no wind.

8/3/2014
Summary: it appeared to control the crabgrass (but read on) upgrading to four stars.
I didn't keep track of which of three lawns I applied this to. I was testing three different products- Scott's crabgrass preventer, GreenView Crabgrass control, and this product. All appeared to help keep the crabgrass at bay, and given the three lawns have differing problems, it's hard to compare.

Crabgrass preventer application note: one application a year may not be enough. These products work for 2-3 months, and crabgrass in my area often sprouts after that efficacy window. Unfortunately for buyers, but fortunately for online retailers, online is often the only place to purchase these products after early spring.

Note on killing *existing* crabgrass: I've found two spray products that appear to effectively kill crabgrass: Fenoxaprop (Bayer hose end sprayer) and Quinclorac (GreenLight Wipe Out). I have tried the Fenoxaprop and it appears to be working, albeit slowly (as expected). I have tried the Quinclorac, a concentrate that you mix, but the reviews are positive.The GreenLight include broadleaf weed killer as well. I've also used Scott's Weed-B-Gone crabgrass killer with methearsonate. Some people say it works after many applications, but for me the effect was minimal. Scotts does have products with Quinclorac, which should work better.

It somewhat works?

Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2024

Style: GranulesSize: SingleVerified Purchase

Unlike what the bag statement implies, I DID NOT see any results in 5 hours.

It act took over couple of WEEKS before I started to see results.

Yes, I did follow the instructions on the bag, set the spreader accordingly and walked at a good click for an old man to get my back yard done.

Initially, yard was full of dandelions and other pesky weeds from our renter neighbor's back yard full of weeds.

It's now "fairly" under control after spraying entire back yard 3 times.

Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2022

Style: GranulesSize: SingleVerified Purchase

You have to get a jump ahead on any growth. In the early Spring this alleviated a significant amount of weeds that I typically get in my neglected Bermuda. I stopped using this a couple of years ago. Big mistake. I've now gone over some other weeds trying to creep up and it has already zapped those too. Poa annual, crab grass, purslane, clover, nutsedge, and numerous others we get here in the hot dry SW. If I need to apply later this summer I will but I'll also apply in the Fall. Seeds that fall need the barricade properties in this product. Plus it also will kill sprouted weeds systemically.

Immediately effective solution...only time and patience will determine long term effectiveness.

Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2018

Style: GranulesSize: SingleVerified Purchase

This is very effective without adding fertilizer to my lawn. I had an invasion of both ground ivy and a cinquefoil five-lobed, jagged, leaves..low to the soil with a leader that runs out and starts another tap root. with a tap root that was sometimes as long as 20". I slowly pulled one out of the ground after it rained and couldn't believe that the root went that deep but, it did. This, applied in early Spring, has stopped its growth process and leaves started to die, noticeably, within a week even though temps have been 10-15 degrees below average (in the mid forties).
As others have mentioned, the granules are very fine and dusty. I waited until after a rain and when there was hardly any breeze to apply to a wet lawn. I recommend disposable gloves and a dust mask just to be cautious and, as per the directions, wash the clothes immediately. After eigth years, I finally found a solution that works.
