I have to tell you that this absolutely worked for us! Watch BOTH videos and be very careful about applying it exactly as described so you don't get anything on any other plants. Everything told us to wait until the end of summer, but I got inspired and wanted to "get it done." Everything I read said to wait until after the plants finished flowering, so I did... for 4 days. I applied it exactly as directed and the first day, the CC was looking weak. The Third day, it appeared to be springing back and I thought that Charlie had won again!?!! Ten days later, it was brown and just flat out DEAD!!! COMPLETELY DEAD in ALL Areas!!! If anyone wants some Triclopyr, I have plenty left! One treatment and DONE!!!!

As for the moles, they are a lawns friend. They are insectivores and do not eat the turf as is a common misconception. They are seeking grubs, such as Japanese Beetles. If you don’t want moles, apply insecticide granules to kill the grubs. Better yet, leaves moles to do the job and help aerate in the process.
@jross890320 күн бұрын
If you want to improve upon success using triclopyr (whether 3, an amine, or 4, an ester), you can add a few drops of dish soap such as Dawn, to add surfactant. This will lower surface tension of the water to help spread evenly on the “hard to penetrate” Creeping Charlie leaves.

As long as you are applying it to cool season turf varieties (check the label if you have warm season turf), you can apply in the summer, just follow the directions and do not apply it when temps are over 85 degrees. I typically apply herbicides in the evening when the grass is dry and the sun is going down to avoid that 85 degree mark. Good luck, this stuff works great on creeping charlie - just make sure you keep it away from plants you don't want to kill since this is a potent herbicide.
