Ortho Weed B Gon Chickweed, Clover and Oxalis Killer for Lawns Concentrate, Kills Creeping Charlie, 16 fl. Oz

OK...I've used this twice now and it works well. The first time I used this it did not work at all, that was totally my fault. At the top of this bottle is a trigger that you need to push forward, when you do water streams out. What I didn't realize is that the first detent is water only. When you push it farther forward then it sucks the weed killer up. So I have proven now that water does not kill weeds. Once I did this correctly, the Chickweed was turning color by the next morning. Now I've read that some people really soak the area. I wouldn't and that's not what the instructions say. This kills by landing on the leaves and soaking in. It doesn't go up through the root system. It doesn't kill the grass...but it is hard on it. That's why I'd be careful as to how much you lay down on your healthy grass. Kill the weed not the lawn. I've included a picture of 3 days after I applied this. The top corner is new SOD. The poison did touch that aread and you can see it's ok. I didn't soak it, but it got sprayed. It's dying everywhere on my lawn. I'm guessing after it's done I'll overseed and fertilize to get things back to normal. But my guess to the reviews that say this doesn't work, they probably didn't push the trigger fully forward. Because I don't see how I could have 100% success and then someone else would have none. This was very quick acting once I sorted the trigger out.

This worked great for me (northeast US)! My yard had been taken over by large patches of thick white CLOVER. I tried pulling it out. I saw I wasn't going to be able to do it. Then I remembered something in a green bottle that I used about 15 years ago, and sure enough it was an Ortho product specifically for CLOVER. So I ordered this one and sprayed it only on the patches of clover back on April 5 and watched it to see. I was skeptical. It just looked like water on the clover plants. But six days later the clover was turning yellow. So, two weeks after the first application I sprayed it again, just to make sure the product was zapping it. Gradually, the clover not only turned yellow but also shriveled up among the remaining grass. And now, six weeks after the initial application, I can't see ANY TRACE of the clover that I sprayed. No trace whatsoever. But several small patches of clover have popped up in nearby areas that I didn't spray, so I sprayed those today. So, THE PRODUCT WORKS. It's not instant gratification, though. It does take awhile. Now here is the one thing YOU NEED TO KNOW. When clover grows in your grass, it crowds out the grass so that there's less grass that can grow there. And when the clover is removed, well, there's less grass there. I think this is why some people are saying it killed their grass. It was the CLOVER that crowded out the grass. The spray does not kill grass. The remedy for thin grass or small bare spots where the clover crowded out the grass is to spot treat the areas and plant more grass seed. If the spots are small enough, the existing grass will grow into it, now that the clover is gone. I'm really glad I bought this and was able to get rid of the large patches of clover!

It's a good product for most weeds. It doesn't work as great on clover.

Worked perfectly! Easy to apply with Ortho sprayer. Results within 3 weeks.

I have a terrible creeping Charlie problem, which I have treated before. This year I went to war. So here is my experience with this product. I like this concentrate in the container so you can mix your own ratios and spray with the sprayer of your choice or swab unlike the hose sprayer containers at the big box store. If you follow the instructions, I believe mine said 3-6ounces per gallon of water to treat yada yada 1-2000 sq ft. It will weaken the creeping charlie and in some cases kill it, good thing being it will not hurt your grass. (Best going into fall) Ok some control, but I want it gone! I tried about 9 ounces of product with 1/2 gallon. Worked better, but it will kill grass at this level. If you have an accurate tip for your sprayer you can mitigate the damage to your lawn. Swabbing full strength works best, everything you coat will die (I used a 1" paint Brush). Very tedious and time consuming to swab especially depending on how much you have and the size of your yard. At least with the concentrate I can do that. In retrospect, I should have used some kind of dye in my sprayer because I was dealing with a large area and even though I was methodical in my application, there were some areas I missed. So if it is your first time with this product and you have a large area to treat, you could start with the recommended label instructions, just be prepared that you may have to retreat after a week or two. They will usually turn yellow, crinkle and die in 2-5 days.

2 applications later and not even yellowing of weeds. I used the appropriate concentrate to water mixture the first time. 2nd time doubled it. No results whatsoever. What a waste of money.

I’ve been buying this weed killer for almost 3 years now and use it every summer. It effectively kills all kinds of weeds in my lawn without harming the grass. I’ve noticed a big improvement in my yard’s appearance and even my neighbor asked me what product I’m using! It’s easy to apply and works consistently well year after year. I definitely recommend it if you want a healthy, weed free lawn.

kills the ivy

worked really well on our lawn. no problem with UK hose attachment

Very disappointed in this ! Very expensive and has not touched my red clover! I have used 3times at the said solution mix but it still grows!

will not fit British standard hose fittings, tried returning but postage is too expensive to take the risk of non refund for whatever reason and so will have to cut and modify product so as to use. This product should not be sold to countries where thread standards are different, Supplier must have known this problem and yet continues to sell this product overseas, very bad practice!
