Letting dandelions run wild and reproduce without control is like stocking Jellystone with wolves and not controlling them.

The idea that every inch of every yard must be 100 %weed free is another idea that we have convinced ourselves is important . I am not saying a little control now and than is bad but think about the millions of acres of lawn throughout the entire country and all the chemicals and money used so we can mow it more often .Us outdoorsmen are always talking about habitat for wildlife .Our yards can be a part of that .More shrubs and trees .Maybe a couple more flower beds etc will be places for birds and small animals to call home . Less work ,less money spent and less chemicals used .And unless everyone use weed control it makes you repeat the same thing forever .

It’s been way to cold in Nebraska to kill dandelions up until the last couple days, I have been spraying t-zone at about twice the dose for the last three weeks and barely curls them, probably will eventually die just taking a long time

Dandelions can be hoed or pulled out of lawns. The trick is to get the first 3/4 to 1" of taproot and then they will not grow back.

I've always been a fan of red and white cattle against green pastures with yellow dots...As Jeff and others stated, bees like them too...

I don't like dumping toxic waste anywhere my dog might get at it, I use a garden fork and dig them up. Works great! Just a couple of trips around the place and your done for the season and last's for years.

I have found after 3 years that whatever you do, they will come and dig a 5 foot hole for fiber optic or tear your curbing and sidewalks out. Then the process starts all over again.

I agree, I don't treat my lawn anymore. I let it be all natural and mow wearing a chipmunk fur thong and a hat.


I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

God stocked them in Eurasia, not Nebraska!
I just don't like it when the fuzz goes up my nose when I'm chasing butterflies and fireflies.
Europeans brought'em here to raise as food in gardens and for medicinal plants. That went well.

If spraying is your preferred option then to m using 2-4-D in the fall gives me the best results. Dandelions are very susceptible in the fall when restocking their roots for the next season. A good time is about a week or two before the fall equinox as the plant is still growing rapidly before the days shorten faster and if mowed regularly they are small and more easily killed. Also being early spring flowering plants and not flowering in the fall the bee issue is lessened as well. Once numbers are kept low then using a triangle hoe cuts them out quite well also.

Q4 plus is good for broadleafs. Tanacity is another good one as it gets more crabgrasses as well.
