Spectracide Weed & Grass Foaming Edger (HG-96182) (Pack of 12)

This product works extremely well, but does not contain enough solution in the can! I love the fact that I don’t have to bend down, I just shoot the foam from an upright position and hit the weeds precisely! On the negative side, they are outrageously priced! But still better than local hardware stores! I used to buy these at my local hardware store when they were running for $2.65 but now they sell for $10 each! So getting them through Amazon is a better option (although when I received my shipment, all the top lids in every single one of them were shattered!)

I really love this product! I used it to kill random weeds that crop up in non-grass areas of the yard. I love the spray head. It shoots a thin spray of fine foam from a foot or so away... very easily directed at a single weed. I even used it to kill a noxious thistle in my lawn and it did yellow a bit of surrounding grass - I knew this could be the result but well worth it. I have a patch of quack/crab grass growing in the area where one of the home's downspouts drain. I researched this weed and it is tremendously hard to kill, spreads rapidly underground, and so can spread even further into your lawn in a season. It grows a large number of fine roots deep in the ground so it is not possible to dig out unless you use a backhoe or something!! It has to be sprayed in early spring at the 2 - 3 leaf stage, or choked out over time by thick healthy turf. I NEVER manage to catch it in time in the spring, so out of desperation I used this product to at least curb it spreading. At first it looked like I got a total kill. Later though the Quack Grass did start re-growing - but with a follow-up spray it has been very dead looking for quite a while. At very least I know this nasty weed has not spread! This time I am going to till that area deeply, plant new grass seed rather heavily and see what happens. The only CON would be the price... the cans run out rather quickly. For me the trade-off is how handy they are. I grab a can every time I work outside and they are ready to go - no mess - no fuss, just shoot and kill.

It kills as expected unfortunately, the weeds come back so we have to keep buying it. I wish I could buy something that would kill them permanently.

I have a ditch that runs out in front of my house where we have large white rocks filling the ditch. Once a week, I walk the ditch line and spray this weed killer as I see weeds popping up and it kills them almost instantly. The straight long line of spray that comes out of the nozzle is very useful since I don't like to walk amongst the rocks so I can shoot 5'-6' or so away. It also helps to just hit the week in case I do spray a weed in the grass. I have ordered a box of these every six months to keep up with weed removal. It's nice because where my property line ends, you can tell a huge difference in the weeds in my neighbors ditch.

This is the best weed killer I have ever used. It provides almost instant kill, usually by nightfall the weed is brown and curling up, and this is way safer than Roundup weed killer, which can take days before you see any sign of a dead weed. It foams when sprayed so you can see what weeds you've hit so as not to spray them again. The stream allows me to spray a weed from 6 feet away that is high up on my berm and I don't want to climb up there. I foam spray it up close when not wanting to injure surrounding grass or plants. It targets well with a fine stream just be cautious on windy days. It may not kill the plant next to the weed, but the foliage can suffer from overspray. This 12 can case is the most economical, putting them at $3.50 a can compared to over $7.00 at my local home improvement store.
