How to use

First, determine the type of sprayer you're using. Then, refer to "Mixing Instructions" to look up the proper amount of product to add to the sprayer based on the type of sprayer you're using and the type of grass you're spraying. Next, add product to a Tank Sprayer or Ortho® Dial-N-Spray® along with water if indicated. Finally, turn the dial on the Dial-N-Spray to the correct setting (if using). Then, apply at the correct time and avoid spraying as a fine mist, which can cause injury to other plants. The maximum application rate is 6.0 fl. oz. of product per 1,000 sq ft per application and no more than 2 treatments per year. Remember: A little goes a long way with this herbicide. More is not better, as over-application or rates above those recommended on this label can cause grass injury! 

Where to use

Specifically formulated for use on established residential outdoor lawns only, including Kentucky bluegrass, Ryegrass, Tall fescue, fine fescues, Bermudagrass, Zoysiagrass, and Buffalograss.

Where not to use

To avoid lawn damage, do not use this product on Bahiagrass, Bentgrass, Carpetgrass, Centipedegrass, Dichondra, or gardens including vegetables, fruit trees, vines and berries, ornamental plants (flowers, trees, groundcovers, landscape beds and shrubs), Seashorepaspalum, St. Augustinegrass, or certain Turfgrass species. Do not use indoors.

When to apply

For maximum weed-killing outcomes, apply this product when weeds are small and actively growing in the spring or fall months. For large and smooth crabgrass, use in the spring before crabgrass is 4 inches tall or when it's first noticeable in the lawn. 

How often to apply

Due to its powerful nature, customers are limited to only two broad applications per year. However, certain hard-to-kill weeds or dense populations may need to be spot treated in 21 days.

Cautions

Spray when weeds are actively growing, temperatures are below 90 degrees, and outdoor conditions are calm and not windy, and there is not rain expected on the day of application. This will help to avoid damage to the lawn, as well as spray drift, drip, mist, or splash at the application site, which could harm desirable broadleaf plants and surrounding ecosystems. 

Disposal Methods

This container is nonrefillable. When empty, place bottles in trash or thoroughly rinse and recycle when possible. If the container is not completely empty, call your local solid waste agency for disposal instructions. Please, never place unused product down any indoor or outdoor drain.

Kids & Pets

Although people and pets should remain out of the application area during treatment, they may safely reenter once the area has dried. Better yet, this weed killer for grass becomes rainproof in only 1 hour, so you can get back to enjoying your yard in no time!

Mowing Tips

To ensure the absolute best results, delay mowing 2 days before and do not mow until 2 days after the application of this product. Taking this extra precaution will enhance the effectiveness of the spray and keep harmful ingredients off your lawn equipment.
