Customer Reviews for Acclaim Extra Selective Herbicide

Bought this product and noticed the manufacture date was 2 years ago! Shelf life on this product says 3-5 years so if you have a big yard and will use it all in one application you probably will be ok. It's an expensive herbicide and I was hoping it would last several years for my small yard.

The Poconos in Pennsylvania is overrun with the extremely invasive Japanese stilt grass. You don't want to use Round Up because that kills everything. I'm successfully using this combination of Acclaim, surfactant and dye to little by little eliminate the stilt grass without hurting any of my native plants. I'm so glad they developed something target specific.

Came across this site by accident when researching a herbacide to control the bermuda grass in my lawn of tall fescue. Their price was excellent and their videos were informative; good site.

Very disappointed. Hardly touched the crabgrass and Japanese Stilt grass. Hose end Bioadvanced Extreme Crabgrass killer did a much better job at one fifth the money. Waste of over $100!

  Expert response:
Acclaim Extra should do a great job on large and smooth crabgrass as well as stiltgrass when used as directed on the label. Young, actively growing grassy weeds are more easily controlled than larger grass weeds which may require repeat treatments.

used along with Non-Ionic Surfactant for Herbicides on zoysia and fescue mix on waited two weeks. Worked as promoted. I would recommend using dye to see what has been treated.

I have tried many herbicides that I have had good luck with in the past on all types of weeds but nothing works like Acclaim Extra on Japanese Stiltgrass. One application at 8oz per 25 gallon tank sprayer across 1 acre and 2 weeks later the stuff in turning brown.

Crabgrass and Japanese stiltgrass browning on 5th or 6th day ... other desirable grass is fine and unharmed - this stuff is awesome even - used 1oz per gallon mix in pump sprayer. Will continue to use as needed.

Used 30ml ACCLAIM/ gallon and 15ml SURFACTANT/gallon. Color wasn't any real use for me... Give it aweek or so. Japanese Stiltgrass kinda "shrivels away". Great!

Our neighborhood is being overrun by Stlitgrass. It looks pretty but it outcompetes everything else in shady environments. This is the only product I know that selectively removes Stlitgrass from lawns, and it works very well. It also works on some other tuff weeds and on crabgrass and goosegrass.

Applied as stated and see very little results. Don't waist your time with this product there are other out there that I've seen produce more effective results. I'm disappointed and wish I had never spend time and money on Acclaim.

I've been spraying invasive stilt grass in a forest for more than a year with Roundup and it kills not only the stilt grass but everything else. I stumbled upon this, which only kills grasses and not the woody plants. So far it looks like it is killing off only the bad stuff and I'm thrilled about that. I hated the destruction Roundup left. Bayer's customer support was really helpful too in determining that I could use it in my forest and how much to use.

I purchased this for Japanese stiltgrass spreading quickly through my cool season grass. I applied with a non-ionic surfactant at the maximum dose rate with a tank spot sprayer. It took about 2 weeks for the stiltgrass to brown and die. I also spot sprayed some crabgrass which also died in about the same time frame.

I use Acclaim to target the Japanese Stiltgrass in my cool season turfgrass. It is effective but expensive.

Fenoxaprop (active ingredient in this herbicide) was recommended by Rutgers Ag. Extension. It killed the Japanese Stiltgrass and some of the crabgrass in my lawn (it took a while to actually brown up). The product was shipped promptly after my order.

Killed my Johnson Grass lawn infestation in 5 days. Great product.

This has been ideal for "doing my own" - the Acclaim has been excellent at controlling Japanese stiltgrass, while I wouldn't have thought to purchase the dye or the surfactant if it hadn't been suggested. I'm now using the dye with other products and it's incredibly helpful. Came neatly packaged in one box.

Rating is for the age of the product. Stock answer is that it's good for 3 to 5 years if its been stored properly. How was it stored for the 2+ years before I received it .... who knows. That means if the product is good for 3 years, I have less than 1 year left to use it all. It's already expensive and now it's getting close to expiration. I'll look somewhere else to buy next time.

This stuff is effective. It takes a few days to start to see a difference and a couple applications, but it does work. It’s the only stuff I saw that will kill Johnson grass without harming tall fescue lawn. Worth the high price and you don’t need that much per application.

Did a great job on killing off the Japanese Stiltgrass that was slowly taking over my yard the past few years. Wish I got ahead of it sooner. Mixed it with some dye and surfactant. It is slightly harder to mix up than something like 24D so I used an old 1 gallon liquid fertilizer bottle to pre shake it up.

Used this to get rid of Japanese Stiltgrass. Hard to get many common weed killers in my state but more than happy with this product. Mixed in some dye and surfactant and shook it up very well. Reading the label it says you can even seed a a few cool season grasses right after spraying. Wish I tried getting rid of the Japanese stiltgrass before it spread as much as it did but here we are. Planning on a pre emergent in early spring.

Purchased the Acclaim Extra with surfactant and marker dye. Very happy with the products. Primarily I sprayed a bunch of Japanese stiltgrass around my wood line but also a little bit of goose grass in the lawn. Product worked quicker on the goose grass and took a long time on the stiltgrass. After about two and a half weeks I began to notice the stiltgrass being affected. Very nice to have all three products I needed to knock this out. Arrived quite quickly after I placed the order (In a single box which was nice) and I had a tracking code as well. I will likely be making the same order again next year.

Lawn was more than half stiltgrass early August. It was everywhere. Very discouraged. Applied this product as directed, with surfactant and dye. Was careful to make sure I got off of them coated, applied on a windless day. Took about a week for them to show signs of stress, maybe 3 weeks for all of them to die. The dead stiltgrass left a very thick, woody growth behind which I was able to mostly rake out. Not sure this step was needed, but it was ugly, and everywhere. Over seeded last week in August, and now it's the first week of September and there is virtually no living stiltgrass in the lawn, and the new shoots are filling in. This product is very expensive, but I don't think there's an alternative other than pulling them all out manually. This is a crazy invasive. Didn't realize what it was until way too late. I think it's been in my lawn for years. Hopefully, a pre emergent next spring will keep the seed bank down.

Mixed well in my tow-behind sprayer and spread easily. However, two weeks later crabgrass is finally showing stress and some has died. I can't yet say that the more stubborn crabgrass will die.

Got absolutely no results from this over priced product on a specie of crabgrass in fescue.

I spent $100 and 1 hour applying this. The lawn company said I needed 3 applications X $700 each = $2,100. Glad they can't hold me hostage anymore now that this is available online. Only problem was I used too low of a concentration on DialNSpray. I used 1Oz setting with half Acclaim and half surfactant. I'll try 3 Oz next week.

Tried this herbicide because it says it will kill many weed grasses in lawn. I have purpletop tridens invading my yard. I was hoping that this herbicide would kill it but it didn't do a thing to it. I guess I should have saved my money and time.
