Only thing that got rid of Japanese Stiltgrass
By Lowell in Asheville, NC on 07/28/2012
I tried other selective herbicides, adding surfactant, but only Acclaim got rid of most of the Japanese Stiltgrass invading my lawn. Only drawback is its price!! After doing some research, it seems th…

Great product! Kills Japanese Stilt grass.
By Scott in Baltimore, MD on 08/07/2014
Acclaim killed all the Japanese Stilt grass that had invaded my lawn. Be patient though because it takes about 7-10 days to work. The leaves will begin to yellow after 5-7 days and then brown after 10…

Japanese Stiltgrass is now under control.
By Rick in Bluemont VA on 08/27/2012
Thanks to Acclaim! Roundup, which kills everything, was the only solution to rid Stiltgrass from my lawn. Two applications of Acclaim Extra Selective from a tank sprayer mixed with Adept surfactant a…

By Charles in Mooresville on 06/25/2011
This product works great to suppress Bermuda grass in my tall fescue lawn. I mix it with turflon ester, herbicide helper surfactant, and colorant. This is the third year of applications and I have see…

Acclaim Extra/ Phenoxyprop-ethyl formulations
By Steve in Lodi on 10/15/2014
I have used this product with somewhat mixed success. As mentioned on label, it suppresses, but does not control bermuda. Suppression lasts anywhere from 3 months to 2 years. As commercial applicator,…

Works Great
By Anonymous in Northern NJ on 08/23/2013
Just as described, it has worked against my crabgrass and a TON of Japanese Stiltgrass in my lawn. Both were treated late in the season so they were well established (which I knew wasn't optimal) but …

Effectively kills stiltgrass
By Rs in Phila, pa on 07/07/2015
Awesome. Surfactant and dye are highly recommend. This is expensive stuff so you want to SEE where you are laying it down as well as making sure it coats rather than bead off the leaves. the blue dye …

Does not work that great
By Richard in Baltimore, MD on 08/15/2011
I purchased this thinking it wojuld be better than products I can get at Home depot. However, the Bayer All in One with Crabgrass control works better on Crabgrass. I also tried this on bermudagrass a…

Acclaim and Japanese stilt grass
By Peter in Montgomeryville, PA on 08/08/2017
So far, so good. This stuff kills this nasty Japanese Stiltgrass that seems to multiply over night in my lawn. It has been just a bit over 2 weeks and I just did a second application to get what I mis…

By Eileen in Wenatchee, WA on 09/28/2011
This is GREAT stuff. Only thing I could fiind to kill crabgrass.....which is always a pain in the late turf growing season. This is the only place I could find this product sold in pints. It's spendy.…

Expensive but it works!
By Anonymous in Asheville, NC on 08/12/2013
I've had a problem with Japanese Stilt Grass growing in my lawn and none of three popular lawn herbicides would touch it. After hearing about Acclaim and seeing on the label it's intended for this wee…

Crabgrass is winning
By Duane in Broadway, VA on 06/14/2011
I applied Acclaim Extra at a rate a little higher than suggested because I wasn't sure how far my sprayer would cover. Anyway, it's been about 10 days and no sign of dying crabgrass.
Kills Crabgrass in Zoysia
By Anonymous in Raleigh, NC on 06/24/2013
I used Acclaim to kill crabgrass in a 1-yr old zoysia lawn (from seed), worked great. I am also using it on Japanese Stiltgrass in other areas, and it is doing the job.
Bermuda controlled
By William in NC on 05/09/2018
Like others here. I use Acclaim Extra with Turflon Ester to control Bermuda grass in our tall fescue lawn. You have to hit it right when the Bermuda first comes up for the season, usually around mid M…

By Daniel in Hoover, AL on 07/06/2018
Used a mix of Acclaim, triclopyr ester and surfactant on my zoysia lawn to try and kill some common and hybrid bermudagrass. First application turned the common bermudagrass brown. Effect on the hybri…

Works Great on Crabgrass
By Rick in Cedar Knolls, NJ on 08/23/2019
I applied this trying to control crabgrass and Japanese stiltgrass that was invading my yard. Everything I've purchased at Lowe's wouldn't kill either plant. I applied it with a 4 gallon pump spraye…

Acclaim works
By Anonymous in Germantown MD on 09/02/2013
Takes about 2 or 3 weeks but it's killing the stilt grass. Will do a second treatment to get what I missed.
Acclaim Extra
By Tim in Reading, PA on 07/10/2020
Good stuff - takes out Japanese Stiltgrass without killing good Lawn/grass. Expensive and takes a while to work, but very effective! Worth the expense!
Give it time
By Martin in Staunton, VA on 08/20/2017
Acclaim does not provide instant gratification, but after 2-3 weeks of wondering whether it was going to work, the weeds are giving up.
Acclaim Extra Herbicide -- dated product
By John in Sterling, VA on 05/09/2020
My order was placed on 4/16/20 and it arrived well packaged within a week. The reason for my low rating is that the product had a manufacturing date of October 2018. Given that the shelf life of t…

Acclaim extra works Great. A little pricey but it does the job. I would indeed purchase this product again. Very Satisfied Customer.
Order early; timing is critical
By John in Loudoun Co Virginia on 09/17/2023
This expensive liquid is reportedly the only selective herbicide effective for Japanese Stiltgrass. Timing matters, as this is commonly applied in the last weeks before seed production. Unforta…

Acclaim Extra Selective Herbicide
By Mike in Maryville, TN on 07/09/2014
I cannot give Acclaim Extra Selective Herbicide 5 stars because I'm reserving that for when they invent a magic bullet that kills bermuda grass dead without hurting fescue. But since Acclaim Extra doe…

Acclaim
By Rattypiel in Yakima, WA on 10/12/2013
It's the best stuff for post emergence control of crabgrass. I am so glad this product is available.
Realy works - give it time!
By Dave in Doylestown, PA on 09/04/2017
This is about the only stuff that will kill Japanese Stiltgrass in your lawn without harming the lawn. You won't see results for several days - keep the faith - but eventually the stiltgrass all turns…

Horrible
By Paul in NC on 06/29/2020
Killed half my fescue lawn. Follow directions to the letter, one treatment killed and browned 50% of the lawn. Don't ever use this crap.
Did not work for my crabgrass
By John in Daytona Beach on 08/17/2015
I am up to 3oz/gal and it is not killing anything. grab grass and many weeds still doing fine.
Expert response:
Oh dear! We are sorry to hear the Acclaim did not work up to your expectations. Herbicides work well when used under optimal conditions but there are some environmental conditions that can diminish the efficacy of the products such heat or drought stressed weeds, recently mown weeds, etc. Please give our customer care team a call so we can help you troubleshoot the issue and get the herbicide working up to its potential: 866-581-7378
Great product
By Gary in Glen Rock PA on 09/18/2020
Wish there was something more affordable but with Japanese Silt grass this may be the only thing that works without destroying your yard with Glyphosate.
Works Great
By Doug in New Egypt, NJ on 08/28/2020
I had a pretty bad case of Japanese Stiltgrass taking over my lawn. Acclaim Extra smoked it! It's all gone. Took about 2 weeks to start working but it definitely got rid of it.
patience
By Trevor in Bethesda MD on 08/23/2019
before shelling out the high price for this product, I read all the reviews, many of which said they saw results "in a week or so". Well, ten days after by-the-book application (and i would recommend…
