Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works Great on Spurweed Been using this a pre-emergent every October and February, specifically to control Spurweed, and it has done a great job. Three years and well-controlled so far. No complaints whatsoever.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from WeedEx works magic. WeedEx has eradicated a prolific chickweed invasion of my southern lawn (3k sq ft) . Over past 4 years I applied an early fall application , followed up with 2nd application 2 months later. Chickweed was evasive in our neighborhood . Brought in by neighbor yard service. My neighbors saw my results and Weed Ex is now working magic up and down the street

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Instructions are not clear Does the product need to be watered in? How long does it usually take to work?

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Do not buy if you have pets!!! Why would the warning about not allowing pets on the grass after applying not be included on the bag??? Since this product doesn’t have to be watered in after application!!! There is no possible way I can leave our dogs inside for the 2 to 3 days per bag instructions to lightly water in!!! I plan to wait a few hours then lightly water and hope that this product still works which I have doubts about! Luckily I checked online otherwise the consequences could have been disastrous! Please do not buy this product if you have pets!!!

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Did Not Work At All I bought this product and applied it 4-5 weeks ago. I bought it specifically because it indicated it could be applied to St. Augustine, which (surprisingly) has been somewhat hard for me to find as a weed killer, preemergent. This product did nothing. I followed all instructions. I cannot tell it killed the first weed. If anything, there has been more of a proliferation. Disappointed, as I have always had a good experience with Bonus S Weed and Feed so I hoped this would work well as a weed killer for St. Augustine.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from If you want weeds - this is your fertilizer! They should rename this weed feed. I put this down twice and no joke, I think the weeds are doing better now. I followed the directions on two separate applications. On the 3rd I overdid it on purpose and as stated - weeds are doing great. Horrible product.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Doesn't work I bought and used this product a month ago. I applied according to instructions. Watered it in...and nothing happened. It dried out some of my St. Augustine grass, yet it didn't kill any weeds.
