I removed a bermuda grass lawn (6 weeks of RoundUp application first). Will this product prevent emergence of residual bermuda grass?

It prevents new growth from seed including stuff that is less than a couple of months old, so if the bermuda is growing from old roots, probably not. We battle Cheat grass and the only way to get ahead is to use this product so that nothing new germinates, this means we can't seed anything else, but we have enough native stuff growing. Weed Impede lasts 3-6 months depending on the application level. I use a dial end sprayer set at 1 ounce and use a walking pace, you don't need full ground coverage, more like texture on sheetrock seems to work. I know that's more than you asked for, but might as well give you enough information.

No it's only weeds. You will have to spray with round-up again when it starts reemerging or dig up the Bermuda runners (roots) in the soil.

I used Shake Away last summer and it did repel the deer. But although it is somewhat rainproof, it did need to be re-applied fairly often. Considering the net expense for year round application, I switched to a homemade formula of two eggs, half a cup of whole milk, a tablespoon of Dawn, a tablespoon of vegetable oil, and a generous splash of red hot sauce. Mixed in a blender for 1 minute and shaken in a one gallon tank sprayer with 1 gallon of water and sprayed on leaves, it works just as well and costs considerably less. Should be reapplied after any heavy rain. This mix works even better if left to sit outside in the sprayer for a day or two before use. Smell in area after spraying is negligible. I protect red tips, hosta and lantana with it.

It should. It kills anything in the grass family. The product info is on their website. It has to be applied when grass is actively growing.

Yes, I had success this past spring with one application on select areas. And, it did not harm my native carpet/St. Augustine but in areas where the "stickers" had taken over I had bare ground, of course the grass soon covered. But, it appears that now (fall) is actually the perferred time to treat as the seeds (spurs) were probably already produced at the time of my application. I'm going to broadcast with my tractor/atv sprayer over the entire yard this month to cover the areas missed earlier by the spot spraying.

It should. The chemical only acts on seeds that haven't sprouted yet, so whatever is already growing is not affected.

Unlike Roundup, it is not necessary to wait for a period of time. Once the plant is dead, you can plant. This product is best used on small weeds in pathways. It is not meant for deeply rooted ones.

great question. I applied this product a day prior to a rain storm. after the rain storm I noticed that the rain did not dilute the effectiveness of this product. exactly a week later all my weeds r all brown and withered away

have tried this 2x. did not kill entire yard, seeds took temporarily. the grass later died or diapeared & the weeds came back or a bald spot appeared. in other sections of yard had almost 1/2 yard cleared, all that hapened after temp.growth was the ST AUGUSTINE & BERMUDA pushed out new grass. my guess is that your yard has 2 be as bald as the MOON!

Sorry, I can not answer that. I have only used this on tall fescus, And so far my results are 50/50 on controlling bermuda. This is a tough weed.!

I cannot say for certain, but you could take the precaution of spraying your shrubbery and grass and thoroughly wetting them before you apply the product, and when you are done come back over and thoroughly spray off the shrubbery and grass again. This should stop the product from sitting on the plant during application and wash off and dilute any product that remains on the plant after you are done cleaning.

You must wait because the chemicals in weed killers will not allow for new grass to grow. Wait the 4 weeks then put down new dirt and seeds.

You might want to try Preen's Lawn Step Saver weed control product. It smokes the crabgrass and many other weeds as well - all with ONE simple application. I have had much success with it. Sold on Amazon too - ASIN: B0094KRFO6. 18 lb bag, covers 5000 square feet of lawn.

Hi Brian!Roundup QuikPro will only kill the weeds that are currently growing in your deck area; anything that has 'green' showing will be terminated; however, QuikPro will not prevent more weeds from growing; there are other products that sterilize the soil and prevent seeds from germinating which would be better to use once you've gotten rid of the current weed population!

I have sprayed twice at the end of this season,,30 days between sprays,,so far the bermuda grass is dead.The tall fescue has been completely unaffected.I will spray again in the spring,as directions call for..I have tried many products trying to kill the much unwanted bermuda,so far the Ornamec has worked.Directions state that it usually takes 2 seasons to completely kill the devil grass..So far so good!!

I have had great success with a product called 'Over the Top'. It kills grass, including ornamental grass. Snapshot does an excellent job of preventing weeds from germinating, but it also prevents self-seeding annuals from germinating. If there is a silver bullet for all weeds in a garden, I haven't heard of it.

Yes. I doubled the recommended dosage and use it as a spot spray. Works great and kills everything but the grass. Make sure to soak all visible leaves. Usually takes about a week before weeds are completely gone. Good luck!
