Description
Scotts® Turf Builder® Triple Action₁ provides three benefits in one bag. This 3-in-1 formula kills and prevents weeds, all while feeding and strengthening your lawn. It kills broadleaf weeds, including dandelions and clover, and prevents crabgrass for up to 4 months. It also prevents other listed grassy weeds, including barnyardgrass, fall panicum, foxtail, and annual bluegrass. Scotts® Turf Builder® Triple Action₁ can be applied to Kentucky Bluegrass, Perennial Ryegrass, Tall Fescue, Fine Fescue, Bermudagrass, Bahiagrass, Centipedegrass, and Zoysiagrass. Apply with a Scotts® spreader when dandelions are actively growing. Make sure the grass is wet from dew or watering before applying to help the particles adhere to weed leaves. After 24 hours, water the lawn to wash particles into the soil to prevent germination of crabgrass and other listed grassy weeds. Do not allow people and pets to re-enter the treated area until dusts have settled. An 11.31 lb. bag treats 4,000 sq. ft.

Excellent product
After looking at alternate products, I ended up buying the Triple Action Weed and Feed.
1 reason was I have pets and Weedx required a longer wait period before they could go out. This product didn't disappoint. Augusta Green grass, fewer weeds. Very happy with the outcome. 1-2 weeks for it to work. I'm in south Florida with St Augustine Grass. Applied 4-5-2025

Good Results
I see there are some mixed reviews. Personally, it worked great. I followed the directions to the letter and have had good results. The dandelions are dying and the grass is green.
Location: Pacific Northwest
Grass type: Unknown. It came with the house and it seems, "Suburban Typical."

Product is consistent and has worked great on our lawn for over 7 years. We have Tall Fescue grass, and generally keep up with lawn maintenance throughout the year.

Very Effective Core Lawn Care Product
Very effective at controlling weeds and helping with a healthier, greener, thicker lawn. I apply in the morning when the lawn is wet from dew, on a quarterly schedule, or between months if weeds pop up from seeds blown from neighbors lawns. The large bag lasts a full season for most years. I spray a different product for nutsedge and to kill the stubborn crabgrass maybe twice during the growing season for Bermuda. Otherwise, this one product takes care of the rest of the lawn care for the year. I subscribed to the 12 month plan which comes less than buying from Lowes or Home Depot. The product is also delivered in a box so the bag is protected and no spillage. Well Done Scotts!
