Looking for Answers about Spectracide Spectracide ® Weed Stop ® for Lawns Crabgrass Preventer & Broadleaf Weed Killer Granules?

No, these granules will not harm wild birds that stop by your lawn.

If you're spraying Spectracide Weed Stop for Lawns (blue bottle), you'll need to wait three weeks before seeding. For our Weed Stop formula for crabgrass (green bottle), you'll need to wait four weeks. If you're using the St. Augustine formula (purple bottle), you'll need to wait six months.

Sorry, this is the only size we have available. We'll pass your feedback on, though!

You should wait at least 10 weeks after using the granules before overseeding (because this is a crabgrass preventer, the wait is longer than some of our other products). You could overseed first, then you'd need to wait until you've had to mow the newly seeded area at least three times before applying the granules. The waiting time is shorter if you use Spectracide Weed Stop for Lawns Plus Crabgrass Killer liquid formulas -- you need to wait to seed four weeks after application.

Right, the granular product offers up to 5 months of residual control against lawn weeds listed; the liquid formula will not give residual results but you will see weed kill more quickly.

It won't control variegated liriope. Spectracide Weed Stop for Lawns Crabgrass Preventer Plus Broadleaf Weed Killer will prevent crabgrass from germinating but needs to be applied to actively growing broadleaf weeds to achieve control. If you're looking to clear out a tilled area for planting, we recommend Spectracide Weed & Grass Killer, which will kill everything you spray (http://www.spectracide.com/Products...)

You can't find it any longer. It's restricted for sale in your state because of the size of the bag. We're sorry!

You'll see results several days to a week after application -- it depends on temperature and rainfall

Oh no! If it was was not washed off of the foliage of the desirable plants immediately, you likely will see some damage. Good luck.

As long as you applied Spectracide Weed Stop for Lawns Plus Crabgrass Preventer Granules according to the label directions (and at the listed use rate), you applied it correctly. You will not see damage to your grass.

You should not use this product on floratam St. Augustinegrass, colonial bentgrass, dichondra, carpetgrass or seedling buffalograss. There are no other restrictions, however. We do make a Weed Stop spray product specifically for use on St. Augustinegrass: http://www.spectracide.com/Products...

Early spring (right now) is the perfect time to apply. For best control where you live, make a second application six to eight weeks after the first. Please note the grass variety restrictions for this product (you should not apply on "Floratam" St. Augustinegrass, for example).

You can use fertilizer as you need it. Just follow the directions on the fertilizer and observe any precautions recommended on that bag.

If it's very hot where you are, you might want to give it a month or so. Applying the granules to grass that has been weakened by drought might increase the chance of damage to your lawn.

You can't refill the hose-end concentrate bottles. Only our ready-to-use bottles are refillable (and only if labeled as such). The Spectracide Weed Stop for Lawns plus Crabgrass Killer containers are not refillable, however.

You should wait at least 10 weeks after using the granules before overseeding. If you reseed first, you should wait until you've had to mow the newly seeded area at least three times before applying the granules. We would wait until temperatures cool down a little, then apply the granules and follow up with seeding 10 weeks later.

You should wait to water the grass for 24 hours after applying the granules.

Are you using the ready-to-use spray version of this product? We make a 1 gallon container of that, as well.

This one is a granular product that should only be applied as directed on the bag using a broadcast spreader.

Actually, you should water the grass before applying because this product needs to stick to weed leaves for maximum efficacy. You should avoid applying when rain is forecast within 24 hours of application, though, because you don't want it to wash off. There are no temperature restrictions, but you should not apply the granules under drought conditions.
