I used Ortho Weed b Gone with 2 4 D but all it did is wilt slightly.

Wow... thank you for posting this. I hopped on here to post the exact same question except for weeds in general.

I just sprayed about 4-5 days ago. I'm just impatient I guess. Sprayed a second time yesterday, and some again today that still look healthy.

I use Weed B Gone Max. It has three broadleaf chemicals in the mix. It’s better! It really helps if you spray when there hasn’t been any rain the day before, the day you spray and for 24 hours after you spray. The last tip is to spray when it’s about 70 degrees (11 am?) and the weeds are actively growing so they take up the spray. Then, just wet the leaf, don’t drown it. Try to spray before the wind picks up, use low pressure, large droplet spray, otherwise you will have some drift and kill the wife’s tomatoes. If your bottle froze over winter, try using a stronger concentration.
A preemergence product only works on seeds, not established plants. Use both.

Ok honestly. I am against spraying chemicals around just so the place looks nice. I hate golfers for that very reason. If it aint grass .... short and stiff .... kill it. Dandelion has a bunch of iron and more vitamin C then oranges pound for pound. So unless you are trying to impress the neighbors with a nice green sheet of green that needs constant attention. Just eat the fecking stuff and be done with it ...... Sorry, PC gland has hiccups
