What do you use for killing weeds on your lawns. Looking for a product I can buy off the shelve that will kill weeds only for yard.

Trimec broadleaf herbicide

2,4D in the spring and in the fall.
Fertilizer with preimergent in the spring.

Hard to beat good ole 2-4D for broadleaf control.

Man, thanks everyone. Will see which one I can get here and the cheaper one.

Weed -B -Gon is available most everywhere

Sorry Trimec is brand of 2-4D

Not a problem I appreciate your time for helping me out. Thanks

I used to apply pre-emergent in early Spring and again a month later to control crabgrass and all weeds that germinate from seeds. Would not work in late July.

The 2-4-D suggestions will work now. Be careful with your application.

My lawn has never been sprayed, . I keep it cut usually weekly or depending on growth. We have a few hives of bees, There is lots of white clover, trefoil and grasses. In season we have dandelions, when other flowers and weeds as they develop. If you trim them , they are green and looks good, to each his own method. old 243

Wait until Walmart puts out Christmas trees. They clearance all lawn and garden stuff. weed b gone everything. Hose applicator is around 10 bucks. You can get them for 2.50 - 3.00

And when creeping charlie takes over you won't have a lawn. I don't now what my lawn care people use but My lawn Is weed free. And the wife has a major flower garden for the bees.

Also excellent time to buy Peat Moss, they will discount the crap out of it so they don't have to store it overwinter, especially multi bag purchases.

Get the good stuff that store bought stuff is like the B team.

Never paid much attention to what’s growing….as long as it’s green and not poison ivy, I’m happy.

I have used 2-4-D for decades and yes it works well on all broad leafs, but won't take out crab grass. Not a good idea to spray your lawn when the grass is stressed say to heat or drought or both. Spring appllications work okay and fall applications for dandilions etc. work even better as the plants are busy storing nutrition for the coming winter. Late August to mid September depending upon where you live is a good time. Cooler, usually more moist and plants are growing well yet and storing nutrients.

Ok so don't spray 2-4-D now?
Have had some good rain and heat?

If things are actively growing, 2 4d can be safely applied. You need to watch for float if the temp is too high…I can’t recall what the temp limit is. Morning or evening is best to apply so wind is low at that time of day to minimize drift.

If you have your lawn where it needs to be and over seeding isn’t needed, I suggest something like Strike3….it kills broadleafs weeds and puts down a pre emergent to prevent anything sprouting for 4-6 weeks.

One more thing…In heat stressed conditions, lean towards the low side of the application rate.
