Spectracide Weed And Grass Killer Concentrate 40 Ounces, Use On Patios, Walkways And Driveways

I have used Spectracide Weed And Grass Killer Concentrate since they first came out with the product, many years ago. What I like about Spectracide , over the other brands, is how quickly it works. Spray it in the morning on a hot Summer day, and the grass and weeds are dead by evening. With some similar products, new vegetation is already growing back in, before the weeds that were sprayed are completely dead. Here in Florida, we fight unwanted vegetation all year. I apply many gallons of it annually, with a hand pump backpack sprayer. I will offer a few tips from my years of experience with this product: First, I never purchase the small, pre-mixed, ready to use, spray bottles. The mix ratio on the concentrate is such that the small premixed containers are primarily water. It is to easy to mix the concentrate with water yourself, to pay extra for pre-mix. Also, by mixing it yourself, you can increase the strength for hard-to-kill vegetation. Be sure to follow the instructions for when and how to apply this product. Mixing Ratio: Non selective herbicides like this are expensive. One does not want to waste product by over-mixing more than is actually needed. For average weeds and grasses, increasing the mix ratio will not make it work any better. It will only waste product and increase the cost. The normal mix ratio for this type of Spectracide is 5, ounces of concentrate, per 1 gallon of water. For anything other than brush and hard-to-kill vegetation, I have found that 4 ounces per gallon, works just as well. Mixing 4 ounces of concentrate, per gallon instead of 5, will allow a 40 ounce bottle of concentrate, to make 2 extra gallons of spray material. To further reduce cost, I recently switched back from Spectracide Extended Control, to this regular Spectracide Weed And Grass Killer Concentrate. At least here in Florida, I could not see a performance difference in the 2 products. Storage: I try to mix in amounts where I will use all of the liquid in my pump sprayer at that time. Once mixed, this product does not store well for extended periods. When left unused for a few months or over the winter, it tends to develop a pulp-like consistency that clogs up the pump sprayer. It can then become difficult to clean from all of the sprayer parts. Over all, it is a fantastic product. It saves hours of work pulling weeds.

effective for controlling weeds and grass

I purchased 2 bottles (6/26) of this item and I’am extremely happy with results that I have ordered 6 more 40 oz. bottles again. This is the best grass/weed killer on the market it’s very fast acting with complete results = Highly Recommend If someone is giving negative feedbacks they must be doing something wrong only need 5 oz. Min. to 7oz. Max. per gallon water.

The concentrate mixes easily, and one bottle goes a long way, which makes it a good value. I started noticing the weeds beginning to wilt after a few days, and within about a week they were noticeably dying off. It wasn't an instant overnight result, but with a little patience, it definitely worked. The key is to follow the instructions and apply it on a dry day when rain isn't expected right away. I also made sure to avoid spraying near plants I wanted to keep since this product doesn't discriminate between weeds and desirable plants. Overall, I'm happy with the results. It saved me a lot of time compared to pulling weeds by hand, and I would buy it again when I need to tackle stubborn weeds around the house.

Works well. It started killing some of the weeds the same day and by the next day, all weeds were showing signs of dying.

Speed fast mixing the price was great it was cheaper then other place i check i like how easy it is to order

I liked this product and use it around trees in our back woods so my husband doesn’t have to trim around the trees. Lasts the whole season!

This works well for controlling we’s grass and other things that tend to get out of hand this time of year

Used it for what it was manufactured for thanx
