will sucker stopper harm lawns?

No, it does not harm trees or lawns. My husband has used this product for many years. It is the only product that works for us.

I don't know. My root from my tree that was exposed was in a rock area under the tree. The solution is pretty thin and it took just a little bit to take care of the problem. If you have exposed roots with the sprouts I would just pour some into a small container and use a paint brush to apply to root so the grass would not be touched.

It does not affect grass - that I've experienced (trying to picture how you would use it to have that concern?)- It won't kill near-by plants or leaves - just works on open cuts. I usually make fresh cuts an apply it right away - it gets on the bark etc. and has never harmed anything else but does an excellent job of stopping "suckers" from coming back ...in that spot! Other suckers may still appear in other areas of the tree, trunk, or branches - it is not systemic where it keeps all from popping up. It will keep suckers away from the cut areas you treat. I have been very pleased with the results from treatments I've done.

I haven't tried it on weeds. You would need an extension cord. It would kill the tops of the weeds which would kill tiny roots but I don't think it would affect tap roots. I think it would be as effective as pulling off the tops of weeds and leaving the roots.

Only if you're pulling viable plugs from a area of nimble weed or bentgrass and depositing them into an area not infested. Always clean your equipment before going into an uninfested area.

I haven't done that, but I suppose if the grass was long and fairly dry it would work. I wouldn't do regular clippings--that would likely clog the mechanism.

The grass catcher is listed on mine as mandatory. I once cut about 100 feet without it by mistake, and the grass piles up behind it and stops the mower. Even though the catcher is a bit more work, I have found multiple uses for the mulch/clippings. We have such heat in the Houston area that it makes a great cover to hold in moisture on a plant after watering, and also prevents grass from growing next to a cedar fence...I have no weedeater. Good luck!

i doubt the usual spreader would work smoothly with this product, 'cause the granules are in irregular shapes and the sizes are pretty big. they will not going down the small opening on the bottom of the spreader, and when you try to turn the wheel to shoot out the granules, they will immediately clog the spreading mechanism and you may have difficulty to turn the wheel handle. that's why i've returned several spreaders in different brands and had to use gloved hand the sow the granules. this green light crabgrass preventer2 is a little bit more effective than the similar scotts products, but would only showed lawn improvement for a few days, then the crabgrass would explode even more seriously. that's why i am pondering to change the front/backyard lawns with desert plants. there's no cure....save your money.

Yes. Yes I have. I lowered the blades and it did not make a difference. It seemed to barely cut anything and when opening the grass catcher it had almost nothing in it. I ended up going back to gas and couldn't be happier. I bought a troy built with a grass catcher for 199 and love it!

Depends on the flower, but yes it will kill most vegetation that is not a type of grass.

You can use Scotts crabgrass preventer with HALTS on St. Augustine as long as you do not overapply. If you overapply, it will burn the turf. If you use a Scott's spreader, use setting 2 1/4.

I would not think this product would be good for lawns. For outdoors, my suggestion would be to thoroughly water the area to dilute the urine.

It kills Bermuda Grass. If that is what you have it will work and will not disturb other plants in the vacinity.

Rob, I have Centrocon bait traps and I do my best to avoid them but a sprinkler head might be recessed enough to not be bothered. To be absolutely safe, go around them or raise the time depth. I wish it had your problem. �t

I bought a simple half gallon pump sprayer from Home Depot that is dedicated solely to the Deer Stopper and never to be used with any other sprays. I've not had any problem with clogging.

If you get in on grass or your floweres it will kill them. I've used it on areas that are strictly weeds for the most part or not close to other vegetation I don't want to kill.

No it is not safe for lawns unless you don't like your lawn. and it is hard to kill horsetail weed horsetail will die and slowly grow back.

I agree with JP's answer. I have fescue and buffalo grass and it worked fine on both, it only killed the sedge. If you're not sure, or if the instructions warn against your type of lawn grass, then don't use it and/or return the product. Almost all Amazon Marketplace suppliers will refund your purchase price if the product is unopened.
