Yes. It has to be put on consistently. Our sprayer missed a bunch. where it covered-killed all weeds. Great stuff-much more potent than you buy in stores.

For it to work it does not cover very much and you usually need 2applications to kill crab grass. Maybe 2000 sq ft per bottle ?

It only kills Bermuda. I can spray it on my flowers and it doesn't hurt them. Great product

Well directions say it has to happen during germination ... Which I assume to be spring. I'd test it on a small area and see the results. It did not seem to kill crabgrass on the spot. Kind of seemed to help the other parts of my lawn from the crabgrass invasion so to speak.

I would doubt it. This kills grass and weeds well although there are some "tough" weeds that require a higher concentration. I've used it to kill weeds in ground cover evergreens where it gets the needs but not the evergreens (they may brown a little for a time). Maybe if you used a much higher concentration than recommended for weeds?

Not sure about palmetto palms. But this stuff kills anything BUT grass. Great Stuff.

this will kill grass as well as weeds. Kills everything. (Ortho weed-b-gone the best for weeds in lawn)

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.

XLR8 will only work when the crabgrass is present. It is not a preemergence herbicide. I live in Ohio and sprayed when I found crabgrass in July. It is very effective for crabgrass and also killed the white clover that I had been trying to eradicate for several years. Works good.

I bought 1/2 gallon of XLR8 for probably 10,000 sf of lawn. I used 2 ounces per gallon + 1 teaspoon or so of surfactant on actively growing crabgrass in a bermuda and fescue central Arkansas lawn this summer. I spot treated the crabgrass, which had taken over probably 25% of the lawn and small patches of it in throughout. I've hit newly sprouted crabgrass or areas that I missed or that survived several times a couple weeks apart, and almost all of the crabgrass is dead. I still have more than 1/2 left. I don't think you would need to spray more than 1/4 of your tank at a time for 2600 sf, I would think 1/2 gallon would last you several years.

I have used to rid creeping woodsorrel, with very good results. Good on dandelions,,so-so on crabgrass. Must use two applications

Works for me on actively growing crabgrass with less damage to fescue lawn than MSMA, but not as quick a kill.

Yes it will, It will kill anything you spray it on. Be careful around your good lawn.

We used it to kill our entire back lawn including weeds. It worked very well. It does need a lot of vinegar and a lot of hot sun, if possible. I had to re-treat a couple of spots, but they succumbed in due season.

I used this product in the fall (sept/oct) on a section of my lawn that had Bermuda grass. I won't know if it killed off all the Bermuda grass till the warm weather (June) However I think it killed my lawn too. BE CAREFULL IF YOU USE IT.

No, but you can use salt to kill your grass or even vinegar and you can also use newspaper to kill your grass ;) Look at this link here http://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/weeds/how-to-kill-grass-naturally-kill-unwanted-grass-in-your-yard.htm

This product is non selective. It will kill both of the grass and weeds. The Weed B Gone Clover is not very effective to kill the weeds. Does anyone know the more effective weeds killer that the professional lawn care services use?
