Your comment is so relatable lol. Everybody near me is retired and I am in the same boat 😂

[@pandarush.]

@Steve S Omg, my street was ALL retired military at one time. They tried to out-do each other with their pristine lawns. One man even came to me when I was mowing (I despise mowing) and told me how to do it. "Turn the blades fast, and slow down with going forward!!!", he said. I had the forward speed on the fastest setting to get it done quicker. Now all retirees have passed away, and every single house is nothing but dirt and weeds. I have so many, many weeds. My dad would disown me if he saw this mess!

Hello Ron! Am from Marietta. I just applied the spectracide weed stop for lawn granules. The weather was nice. The lawn could get bright Sun and the applied for granules for about 10 continuous hours. But then it rained moderately heavy for about 30 mins! Am wondering if those 10 hours were sufficient for the weeds to soak in the poison from the granules. Any idea or suggestions please? FYI, I am a first time homeowner and new to DIY lawn maintenance. TIA

[@RonHenry]

For best results, you want to apply the granules to a wet lawn. The product works better as a post-emergent if you apply it that way. If applied to a dry lawn that gets rainfall later, it works more as a pre-emergent than post emergent.

[@mousoomsinha720]

@@RonHenry yes I did follow that. The lawn was wet from an overnight rain. And the intent was actually to use it as a post emergent. My only concern was about the duration for which the product stayed on the lawn before it rained again. That was about 10 hours, with bright sun. And then it rained. I did find most of the weeds turned yellowish a couple of days later. But some are still green. It’s been about a week since I applied the granules. Not sure if the product is still active, and if the weeds will still require some more time to die out. Am a first time DIY user or these products, and lawn care itself. Hence having a bunch of questions :)

[@ShainAndrews]

@@mousoomsinha720 Well you learned your first lesson. Post emergent granules seldom work. In addition Spectracide is weak sauce, the granuels even more so. You can either re-apply to a wet lawn and try again or switch to an appropriate post emergent liquid application. You're in peak heat... you shouldn't have been doing anything 2 weeks ago, and certainly nothing two weeks from now. Read your labels... twice, three times.

[@ccwnoob4393]

is it good to apply after several days of no rain so the weeds are "thirstier"? will doing so then damage the grass since it would also be thirsty?

[@RonHenry]

CCW Noob. The big thing is application rate. Your grass will tolerate spectracide as long as it's applied at the recommended rate and temperature. That means a single pass over weeds instead back and forth several times over the same spot. As long as you have a day without rate after application, the product will work well.

Sorry for your loss Teri. If you sprayed this on your lawn today, I’d give it 3 days or so before mowing again. Assuming your lawn is Bermuda, grass seed shouldn’t be needed to fill in bare spots. If the area is shaded, it will be difficult to grow grass there.

Hi Brian. If the weeds covering the lawn, I would bag for the first mow after the Spectracide application. It's not like you'll create a huge problme if you don't but it makes sense to not blow any weed seeds all over the lawn. Also if you've not applied pre-emergent, you definitely want to that. Thanks again for watching.

Hi Ron, I have a rental property and I put granular per emergent down in late Feb. and the yard is full of weeds (bad). Can I put this down or to soon?

[@RonHenry]

If the lawn has already greened up Timothy then you can use Spectracide. It's a great post-emergent and you can't beat the price at $10

[@estodignus]

I applied 1 coating 10am my water sprinkler went off 5am the following day, was that enough time to treat? You have an awesome video for this btw, thank you!

[@myrieke1]

do you have any information on Centipede , sorry if i spelled it incorrectly.

[@RonHenry]

What kind of information are you looking for Adam? Centipede tends to be a bit more sensitive that Bermuda and Zoysia.

[@myrieke1]

@@RonHenry I wanted to know if spectricide is ok to use?

[@RonHenry]

Hi Adam, This is the version you'll want to use on a centipede lawn: amzn.to/3uVm2q2

Will this kill hostas and flowers if it gets into flower beds?

[@RonHenry]

I wouldn’t spray flowers with this. Just grass

[@spencerbliven5215]

@@RonHenry more so the flower bed mulch covered areas where I have some clover popping up. I would avoid the flowers with direct sprays but would it still hurt them once the Spectracide gets into the ground

How long after spraying is it pet safe?

[@RonHenry]

24 hours is what most labels call for.

[@dorianpetty1246]

Can I mow first and then apply? Or should I go with the apply first then wait a couple days. ?

[@RonHenry]

Ideally you want more leaf on the weeds so there's more to cover with the herbicide. I would apply, then wait 2 days before mowing. You'll get better results.

[@9thWard5386]

Weed stop hose end bottle or spectracide concentrate in back pack sprayer more effective?

[@RonHenry]

Hi Louis. If you have a large area to spray, I'd opt for the concentrate in a backpack sprayer. Also gives you more control over the dilution rate.

Thanks

[@manyahn9678]

Ron, can you use this before overseeding?

[@RonHenry]

Yes you can. Give it a couple weeks between application and seeding per the label.

[@lorenzocirilo9511]

Can I cut grass then use product? Also can I use this a couple weeks after seeding ?

[@RonHenry]

Yes Lorenzo. I'd give the new seed enough time to strart growing well before hitting it with herbicide, but per the label you should be good after a few weeks.

[@wcbscout]

Lots of sneaky yet simple tips in this video one might not think about, nice job.

[@RonHenry]

Thanks W.C. I try to pack 10 minutes worth of value into 5 minutes. I know you guys are busy so try to get to the point. Appreciate you watching.

[@jamzach4]

Great video Ron. Appreciate the info

[@RonHenry]

Thanks for watching Scott. I appreciate you watching.

[@hollyj4529]

How does rain affect an application? It’s been raining every 1-3 days where I live and I feel like I’m trying to hit a moving target for the best time to treat my lawn.

[@RonHenry]

You want there to be 4 hours of dry weather in the forecast before applying. It works best if it's able to dry on the leaves of the weeds.
