20 Best Herbicide For Wild Violets (2023 Updated)

Took almost 3 weeks for shipping. The direction is in a tiny booklet, very difficult to read even with my glasses. Complex direction in mixing. Too many warnings I ended up not using it at all.

This product did not work on my lawn. I used an Ortho sprayer & set it on one as per Monterey rep instructions. I am trying to get rid of crabgrass. Money not well spent. Will try Roundup.

Kills what it says it will and not your lawn. Easy instructions.

Bought this to get rid of my blackberries, dont waste your money, followed the instructions,didnt work,I even doubled the strength , still didnt work, use Round up if you want results!

This brush killer supposed to be a concentrated mix, nevertheless I use it several way, I mix it with water one day with no results then I use the concentrated mix, the concentrated mix work however, it takes a little more than 36 hours to barely get see some results.

I need something strong to eliminates the vegetation growing behind my storage shed and this is not it.

This works like “Remedy” has the same active ingredient. I am getting great results on hard to kill mesquite bushes around my home. Mix of diesel instead of water seems to work best. But I did get good results just with a water mix.

Per guidance of TSC, I tried Crossbow on my bamboo. It is actually killing the bamboo! I spray it on, let it sit for a week or two, and then mow down the bamboo sprouts. I did have a tree service come in initially and pull up the bamboo, but this stuff is great on the reoccurring sprouts.

It is even killing the adult bamboo that is still there. I think this process will take about a year, but I feel confident that we can get the bamboo under control with continued use of Crossbow.

This is the best weed killer on the planet. It kills everything except grass. If you have a honeysuckle problem, cut them down and spray crossbow on them. I mix it with round up and Dawn dishwashing liquid, spray my landscaping gravel and it kills the weed and grass(mixed with round up) within 24 hours if it’s sunny out and warm, above 60.

I tried many different herbicides on the weeds taking over my lawn. Nothing worked. I then realized I had Japanese Stiltgrass. After research, I found that Acclaim Extra is one of the few herbicides that is supposed to kill this weed and not my lawn.

I applied it and, thankfully, it is working. A few things to point out: Acclaim Extra is very thick. You need to mix it with half the volume and shake well. You also should add a surfactant to it. Lastly, for the price, I thought I would get a larger amount.

The container is relatively small compared to other herbicides. But if it works I’ll be happy. Another tip for Japanese Stiltgrass: using a pre-emergent crabgrass killer in the spring is also supposed to kill Japanese Stiltgrass.

Absolutely the best herbicide for stiltgrass & crabgrass! Not inexpensive, but super effective. Had really bad stiltgrass infestation on 3 acres of lawn & woods mix. Acclaim knocked out the active stiltgrass immediately & early spring application of preemergent Prodiamine 65WDG kept seed generation down for 2+ years.

Time to redo the process.

The title of my reviews says it all. I tank mix Acclaim Extra with Triclopyr Ester and Halosulfuron and spray my fescue lawn a few times during the hot Summer months. The mixture kills crabgrass, broadleafs like spotted spurge and nutsedge.

It also knocks back Bermuda grass so it does not overtake the fescue.

I have tried a lot of different products on creeping charlie, this stuff works you will probably need 2 applications. Read and follow directions when and how to apply. Knocks clover out almost over night.

I would buy again. Great product that works as advertised.

Have always experienced great results with this product. Kills unwanted weeds, kikuyu and crab grass all while fertilizing my tall fescue grass. Follow the recommendations on the bottle for best results.

Read the directions and follow them to the letter. This is the ONLY stuff I have ever found that will kill Golden Rain Trees. If you are trying to kill a full size tree you HAVE TO FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS.

You must apply this stuff to a freshly cut stump within 60 SECONDS of cutting it or the tree will seal itself. This stuff is awesome.

Used with Tenacity as recommended by them to control common Bermuda Grass in a tall fescue lawn. Applied over the entire lawn. The Bermuda Grass might need a few spot treatments to totally eradicate.

Tenacity is my go to weed killer.

First application on yard 10 days ago, 1 gal water 1 heavy tsp (1/2oz) on patches of clover only seeing about 20% Browning of clover leaves the other areas seem totally unaffected, for $50 of concentrate this is crap will not buy again will reapply and look for improvements.

I have not yet used the current product which I recently purchased, but I have used it in the past (up until now) and it definitely controls wild Bermudagrass and Salt grass growing in my drought tolerant Fescue grass, without harming the Fescue.

Upon opening the package, it was apparent that something had leaked onto the jug of Pramitol I received. I was not sure if my bottle had leaked or another jug at the vendor. I applied the Pramitol at a rate of about one cup to a gallon of water and applied to an area of about 400 sq feet during light drizzle, followed by rain.

Mixture was applied to a driveway with young weeds some of which are ‘stinknet’ After about a week, I see minimal signs of weeds dying off. The rate of new weed growth is also minimal so maybe it is controlling that.

I am having better luck with cheaper mixtures of Glyphosate concentrate and Diquat and DIbromide. It seems to event be controlling the ‘Stinknet’ that has invaded my ranch in Arizona.

I bought this to mix with Drexel imitator and diesel to spray fence lines with. Drexel kills the folage and the pramatol 25 sterilizes the ground while the diesel makes it stick. Give the Drexel time to dry and pray it rains to take the pramatol into the roots to kill them.

Usually lasts for a year.

Results seen in just a couple of days. Didn’t realize there was a product out there specific to poison ivy. Concentrate is a much better deal than the spray.

I bought this product to kill Catalpa sprouts fm 1-3 inch stumps, surrounded by a wild grass I got in a bag of grass seed. should know the name, but dont right now. Kills the stump sprouts, but not this grass around it.

tried 3 time at the recommended strength and still have some to get rid of yet. try something else for grass.

This worked really well on the weeds in our yard. the weeds grow out of control where we live no matter what we use. this worked great. although it does not get rid of them completely, it does keep them at bay.

I’m HAPPY with Gordon’s Speed Zone. Used 1 bottle in my 21 Gallon pull behind sprayer. Creeping Charlie was flowering purple, which I’ve been told is a must for weed killers to work. Two days later and it’s all turning brown.

As well as dandelions, clover, and other weeds.

Don’t waste your money on granular weed killers, spray applications is what gets the job done! Easy to apply also, just make sure no rain is expected and spray on a dry lawn. I did a lot of research online and got pointed towards this product.

Last year I used this on a hose attachment and covered the entire yard. Put down a second treatment on the really bad areas. One area that was really bad with ground ivy it is totally gone now. This year I am using it in a tank sprayer since a lot of the yard is cleaned up.

Sure enough 24hrs later I can see the ground ivy and some of the dandelions starting to die. I have covered almost the entire yard with spot treatments once and only used 4oz (filled my two gal sprayer twice).

I have these stubborn weeds in my yard that I have tried most everything on. I purchased the Speed Zone Weed killer and put down one application. Within a week the weeds have started to die. I definitely will need to apply a second application after two weeks, but I am very delighted with the results of the first application.

Will definitely purchase the product again when needed.

Temperature was in high 60’s when I sprayed my 2 acres. Have pull around 30 gallon sprayer. Maybe should have waited till temperature in 70’s. Mixed weed killer per instructions. Did take 6 days before weeds started wilting & some kind of weeds turned yellow and died.

Most weeds dead. Was afraid to mix to strong. Will apply again (2 times is max applications per year) when temperatures reach high 70’s/ low 80’s. Have never used this chemical before. But is safe for my berrmuda grass.

This does exactly what it’s supposed to do. Great price. For noobs add a surfactant. (Bet you didn’t. ) Spray within the temperature requirements advised on the instructions. This is a POST emergent not a PREemergent.

If you don’t want the weeds to come back you need to learn more about these chemicals and find yourself a good preemergent. Speaking cool season grass. BASICALLY this is what you use in spring to kill invasive weeds – also fertilize.

Then you need to spray a preemergent(it has to be watered in) before the crabgrass starts growing. Followup with trimec for missed weeds throughout the season until temperature sore up in the high 80s.

Don’t touch it in the summer. Wait for late summer or fall when the rains return and CORE aerate the lawn and overseed, fertilize with the grass type you have in your lawn already. The thicker your grass the less weeds return.

Stop mowing the grass to the ground! 2. 5 inches is the absolute lowest a noob should be at, 3. 5 for ease. If you want it to survive really low you need to use a growth inhibitor on the entire lawn.

Grass is a miniature plant. Get on the ground and look at it! The first inch is just thatch and the lower part of the plant. If you keep cutting it’s “head” off it will just keep trying to grow a new one and eventually die.

It has to be tall enough to get energy from the sun and GROW ROOTS. If you leave a bad review on a chemical because it’s not working. It’s YOU not the product. Good luck and let this get you started toward success.

Read more. Lots to know.

I used in the spring in southern Wisconsin. Mixed strong at 150% recommended strength. Applied on entire lawn with an Ortho 2. 5 gallon hand spray bottle. Worked great killing all the weeds and didn’t harm any of the grass.

Be aware the lawn and dirt was very damp from heavy rains 2 and 4 days prior with light rains 3 days later. I would not have made the mixture this strong in dry conditions. Good luck!.

Anyone with English Ivy around the house can tell you that what once looked nice can become a menace. I have come to hate it. It is relentless and will cover your world. I have tried various products, including Roundup, with minimal success.

Crossbow is the first product that worked. Now I am reclaiming some lost ground.

The gallon jug was intact but there wasn’t any instructions. I looked on YouTube to get the mixing instructions. My son bought a jug from a farmers market and had a brochure that he copied and sent to me which was very helpful.

I haven’t used it yet because of the weather, but hopefully in the next 2 or 3 weeks.

Depending on what I am trying to kill I have seen results within a few hours to a few days. I mostly buy it for killing poison ivy oak and sumac and virginia creeper. But I am having issues with getting this product due to the supply chain.

So I try to buy when I see it.

Oh yes. I love the stuff. I use it for shampoo, mouthwash, enemas , and wash the dog the car and dishes with it and drink 5 cups full 10 times a day. It is also good for putting in your IV, your ears, your eyes and washing your catheter before inserting it into your bladder.

You can also use it in soups and on salads so they wilt and you don’t have to digest them. Spray it everywhere like on all your favorite flowers, your garden and all of your prised fruit trees. You can also use it to bathe your prised fishes and use it in all your fish ponds and tanks to make all your pretty plants disappear.

you don’t need them to block the view of your fish anyway. You can even use it to vaccinate your children if you don’t want to get doctor recommended shots or make those RX companies fill their pockets.

This stuff is the greatest and I highly recommend it. I just love these surveys as they can really help others make good choices on what to buy and take all the guess work out of how to use it for best results.

Thank you for reading my review cuz I really know my stuff and have it down pat.

Well just going by my use of it I’ve used this several times and never had a bad experience with it and I would use it any time because it’s always killed whatever I’ve sprayed it on and it’s a great buy especially since Rndup is a total waste of time and money after I paid $50 for someone and used it and never seen a wilt or change of color whatsoever.

I waited a couple of weeks and took my sprayer with this in it and sprayed it for them and in a few days wilting and dying weeds was what I saw. Anyway I highly recommend it to anyone just make sure to use on a hot dry day and you’ll see results like I have.

I sprayed this along the edges of my driveway and shortly after i sprayed; it rained. I thought oh shoot it wont work but low and behold within a week the weeds were dying. The following week I sprayed again and now I have dirt! This is awesome! This stuff works very well!.

Says shows it’s working in 3 hrs. It doesn’t. This is a ready to use product at a concentrate price. Bad deal. Don’t buy it

On line transaction was fine, and the product is fine. The problem was with the delivery. Apparently the gallons (2 single gallon) leaked in the shipping box, so the shipper placed the ruined box and the gallons in a large plastic bag closing it with a large Rubber Band (what a joke).

The package was delivered a day after I had a Bladder Procedure, so I could not lift the package. My wife took it to the garage for me to check it later. When I was able to deal with it I notice the gallons on it’s side in the ruined box.

There was more leakage. I right sided the gallons and discarded the box and the plastic. I do not know how much of the Fluid leaked. AS of today 12/29/21 I have 3 different Walmart phone number directing me to different DEPT.

and not one person is willing to help. I.

The delivery in the order was great. But the product did not work as advertised followed you directions oversprayed the weeds and then shot them directly. They’re still there summer brown at the point of contact however it did not kill the weed.

Not happy with this product would not buy it again.

Been looking for something to kill some stubborn grass and weeds growing between my pavers. This definitely did the job. Now my patio looks brand new again, and it took hardly any effort. Would definitely recommend.

Purchased and applied this product a few weeks ago under proper conditions. One week later, clover and chickweed are no different than before application. This year is The Year of The Lawn. Overseeded last fall and this spring is planned to get rid of all weeds, grow tall and prepare for more fall work.

Sprayed two bottles of product over large areas and all have NO results. Sent an email to Ortho and have not received any response. Felt it was fair to work direct rather than posting online but that did not work so here I am.

The attached picture is representative of all all treated areas.

I found this product at a big box retailer, and it seemed to be the only option that advertised creeping charlie and oxalis killer in a water soluable spray. I waited a couple of days for ideal conditions: about 60, light wind, and no rain in the forecast.

Sadly, not only did it do nothing for the creeping charlie and oxalis, it also did not kill the dandelions, plantain, or thistle, which usually is very easy to kill with even a cheaper product. The product dispensed in about 12 minutes which is close to the 15 minutes the packaging indicated, so I assume the concentration was correct.

I’m confused why I couldn’t get this to work.

For the past few years, I have tried almost everything to get rid of creeping charlie in my yard. I was recommended to use Ortho® Weed B Gon® Chickweed, Clover & Oxalis Killer For Lawns Ready-To-Spray by a local store.

About 3 weeks ago at the beginning of September, I sprayed my first application and noticed a major difference within the first week. Most of the creeping charlie, along with other weeds such as the 3 leaf clover and dandelion, were gone.

I just applied a second application as i want to nip it in butt this time so i hopefully will not have to deal with it in the spring. Thankfully though. I know what product I will need just in case I do need it in the spring.

This product really does the job. I plan to plant grass seed in the weedy areas and over seeding the lawn around mid October. Thanks for a product that actually does what it says! One of the reasons I may have refrained from using it in the past is that it is a bit more than other brands.

Kills efficiently and quickly. Also prevents future growth. This product has been around for decades so it has a proven track record on farms. It keeps my vacant lot free of unwanted growth.

All weeds are g o n e after just a few days of applying it to me my lawn with ny backpack sprayer. It worked so well I just ordered a gallon for regulate preventative maintenance.

i used at recommended strength and drenched the weeds directly. it worked for some but not all that were listed on bottle. took like a week to notice the weeds dying but 2nd go around i doubled dose and spot treat to the weeks a week later the others gone.

You have to trust the process with this, Celsius is a slow killer but it will annihilate Dallisgrass to its roots! My Bermuda lawn was infested with Dallisgrass to the point you couldn’t see any Bermuda at all.

Many YouTubers suggested MSMA but this site suggested Celsius for residential use. I used it with Methylated Seed Oil and made sure i sprayed the weeds until wet. I saw no results until Day 3, which was when the Dallisgrass blade tips started turning red.

Each day afterwards, a larger percentage of the blades turned red – and then turned a darker burgundy-red – and then started yellowing at the roots as well. There were small patches of Dallisgrass that seemed unaffected until Day 7.

But by day 8, every bit of the Dallisgrass took a drastic change for the worse. What was once red was now turning brown, what was once yellow was now turning black – and what was once unaffected in appearance, was now dying fast.

A second application after 10-14 days is suggested but, right now it’s Day 9 and it doesn’t look like the Dallisgrass will make it. I’m gonna put down some DITHIOPYR pre-emergent after it’s all completely dead and start pushing my Bermuda Grass to take back over.

Again, you have to be patient and let it run its course – cuz Celsius is the Usain Bolt of the 4 x 400 meter relay!.

I bought Celsius WG to rid my yard of “Florida Snow” (Richardia Scabra). Once this weed becomes apparent, your grass is long gone. The Celsius WG killed the weed without harming my St Augustine grass.

It takes a few applications but my grass ( I’m on an acre) has started to thrive. Every yard around my house has this weed and it is constantly spreading to my yard. I keep Celsius on hand to fight the new infestations.

I highly recommend Celsius WG to battle Florida Snow.

I love this stuff!!! One of the best weed killers for Bermuda lawns I have used. This will kill 90-95% of the weeds in your lawn and has no temperature restrictions and actually works better the hotter it is outside.

Don’t expect a quick kill with this as it usually takes 1-3 weeks to totally kill off the weed and a little goes a LONG way. I bought this as I was running low on my original bottle which was about 8 years old and it still worked just fine.

This was recommended by neighbor friend with a “beware” attached. He said whatever it touches , it kills. He wasn’t kidding. I love using it on areas I don’t want any growth for about 6months. Great for Fl parts I don’t want to deal with a weed whacker.

For the price, I’ll use this over Roundup.

I spray weeds twice ! once per proper direction and next day didn’t see much result so I double on the amount required and spray it the next day and made sure that I soak it really good and check it out the next day and haven’t seen great result.

I was better off to use round up which work well it was a little pricey and I wanted to try something different. Would not recommend.

I mixed as recommended on the directions and used a tank sprayer to apply this product to a driveway full of weeds. It was a nice sunny day and in the mid 80’s. Sure enough! in about 4 days, all of the weeded area was laying over and turning yellow and then a tan looking color.

In about eight to ten days the weeds were so dried up that I could scrap them up, roots and all, Dried up and Dead! I am very satisfied with this product and highly recommend it to you.

I sprayed, and sprayed all my unwanted weeds and 48 hours later they look just as healthy as if I sprayed them with plant food! There was no wind. Temperature was a warm 75 degrees. Completely saturated.

And nothing happened. No difference. Paid a small fortune for this stuff. Said money back guaranteed with receipt but to my usual luck I tossed it out. Buy again? NO WAY!!!.

I bought this product for my gravel RV parking area (as is says on the label it is good for. ) I followed all instructions, have had no rain, and the daytime temps have been in the 70s and 80s since using.

I noticed the area sprayed (not heavily covered in weeds, just a few here and there peaking through the rock gravel) had not reacted to my first application. So I applied again spraying each weed liberally yesterday.

To my surprise today, the weeds really don’t look like they have been sprayed. In years past I always just bought the regular Roundup grass and weed killer and it started killing the sprayed weeds within a day.

I thought this product would not only kill the weeds, but also keep them from growing in the future. This is hilarious, because they won’t even kill the few weeds that are growing now. What a waste of money! I should have just bought the regular Roundup that costs less.

I feel duped!!! Don’t buy this product!!.

I used brushtox on Creeping Charlie (ground ivy) in my horse pastures. 2,4D had not killed the creeping ivy and a Rutgers publication suggested triclopyr, the active ingredient in Brushtox. I used 6 tablespoons per gallon of spray and a backpack sprayer and I agitated the tank before heading out.

The spray smells foul but after just one day the Creeping Charlie looked sick and the grass looked fine. After 3 weeks the Creeping Charlie was dead. This product worked perfectly. The pesticide label Did not give easy mixing instructions for my application.

This is the only product I’ve ever used that completely killed rampant blackberries and brambles in my open fields. Like other customers, I could not find how much to use in a 2-gal hand-pump sprayer.

Contacted the mfr and they said 6. 4 oz / gal. This is ridiculous. I could tell just from the strong smell of this stuff that 6. 4 oz was WAY too much, so I started with 0. 75 oz / gal, which worked pretty well after a fall spraying, and now use 1.

0 oz / gal to ensure complete kill. This stuff creates an emulsion, not a solution, when mixed in water, so you have to shake the tank periodically, according to the instruction booklet. The brambles I sprayed last fall are dead as a doornail this spring, and the brambles I sprayed this spring are dying quickly.

I am plagued with elm trees i use this to control the new ones that get past me and the larger ones i have drilled holes at a angle down and immediately filled the holes with this and it takes a bit but they do die !!! LOVE THIS POISON FOR KILLING ELMS I USE A LOT AS MY NEBORS DONT TREAT THERE ELM JUNGLE i vaccumed up 9 trash dumpster of elm seed this year alone.
