Spectracide Weed And Grass Killer Concentrate 16 Ounces, Use On Patios, Walkways And Driveways

I have used Spectracide Weed And Grass Killer Concentrate since they first came out with the product, many years ago. What I like about Spectracide , over the other brands, is how quickly it works. Spray it in the morning on a hot Summer day, and the grass and weeds are dead by evening. With some similar products, new vegetation is already growing back in, before the weeds that were sprayed are completely dead. Here in Florida, we fight unwanted vegetation all year. I apply many gallons of it annually, with a hand pump backpack sprayer. I will offer a few tips from my years of experience with this product: First, I never purchase the small, pre-mixed, ready to use, spray bottles. The mix ratio on the concentrate is such that the small premixed containers are primarily water. It is to easy to mix the concentrate with water yourself, to pay extra for pre-mix. Also, by mixing it yourself, you can increase the strength for hard-to-kill vegetation. Be sure to follow the instructions for when and how to apply this product. Mixing Ratio: Non selective herbicides like this are expensive. One does not want to waste product by over-mixing more than is actually needed. For average weeds and grasses, increasing the mix ratio will not make it work any better. It will only waste product and increase the cost. The normal mix ratio for this type of Spectracide is 5, ounces of concentrate, per 1 gallon of water. For anything other than brush and hard-to-kill vegetation, I have found that 4 ounces per gallon, works just as well. Mixing 4 ounces of concentrate, per gallon instead of 5, will allow a 40 ounce bottle of concentrate, to make 2 extra gallons of spray material. To further reduce cost, I recently switched back from Spectracide Extended Control, to this regular Spectracide Weed And Grass Killer Concentrate. At least here in Florida, I could not see a performance difference in the 2 products. Storage: I try to mix in amounts where I will use all of the liquid in my pump sprayer at that time. Once mixed, this product does not store well for extended periods. When left unused for a few months or over the winter, it tends to develop a pulp-like consistency that clogs up the pump sprayer. It can then become difficult to clean from all of the sprayer parts. Over all, it is a fantastic product. It saves hours of work pulling weeds.

I have been disappointed with pre-mixd wed killers. They are weak and ineffective. The Spectracide Weed Killer is a concentrate so you can get the strength you need to get the job done,

Great weed killer for the price. It is very effective and easy to mix.

Good for light stuff, but it will come back and you have to spray it several times

i mix it a little on the strong side and it works well. keeps for years at room temp. don't let it freeze.

My regular go to to kill everything in its path. I use a pump sprayer, a little goes a long way. When I spray it on anything, it takes a day or two to show signs that it is working…but it always works. I also spray on areas where I don’t want weeds cropping up and it actually keeps weeds from reoccurring.

This stuff works!

Works great

Used it for what it was manufactured for thanx
