Fantastic button weed control in bermuda grass, Louisiana
By Lawrence on 10/28/2021
Sprayed my bermuda grass lawn as it had been taken over by button weed, at least 50% of the lawn was weeds. I used the high end mixture, using the handy measure cup....started seeing results in about a week and after 6 weeks the button weed is 100% gone with no effect on bermuda. First herbicide I have used that actually has a total kill. 10 stars!!

Not for centipede!!
By Kevin on 09/05/2022
I applied Blindside to my Centipede lawn, following the directions to the T. It pretty much destroyed my lawn. The weeds died off pretty well, but so did the grass. I thought maybe I applied it too heavy since I went to the higher side of the range. I tried again on a different part of my lawn, and applied about half the minimum amount. Again, totally killed the grass. The weeds are doing great though so my yard isn't totally brown!

Do not use in summer or severe damage occurs
By Rick on 09/15/2022
Blindside works great in cool weather but, labeling indicates that you can use while application is made at 80 degrees once dried if temperature reaches 90 it will be ok. THIS IS AN ERROR. My St Augustine that was once lush green super thick is now light brown and dwindling away. Don't use this in the summer no matter what the label indicates. I applied this during the spring and it eliminated the dollarweed but, it came back at the end of summer. I understand this could happen and I am ok with that part of it. I hope I don't lose my entire lawn. I just keep it watered for now and I am so annoyed.????
Expert response:
We apologize you did not achieve the intended results. While Blindside can be used in higher temperatures than other products the label does state: High temperatures and high relative humidity may increase the risk of temporary discoloration
If turf discoloration occurs after an application of Blindside Herbicide turfgrass will generally recover with new growth. Discolored leaf tissue will be removed with mowing. To reduce potential for discoloration, do not apply Blindside Herbicide on turfgrass that is weakened by weather, mechanical, chemical, disease or other related stress. Maintain proper cultural practices such as adequate moisture and fertility levels to promote healthy turf growth.

Finally, The Perfect Herbicide
By Jay on 10/01/2022
I have battled Virginia Buttonweed all summer. Nothing worked until I tried Blindside. Not only did it kill it, I've also wiped out nutgrass better and faster than Sledgehammer or anything else. My St. Augustine went in to mild shock for a short time but is thriving again and fighting to recover from the onslaught of button weed. This stuff is great. It also killed some unknown fine grasses that were taking over. I love this stuff.
Quick Results
By Rayeve on 05/11/2023
South Louisiana St. Augustine Applied May, 6 2023 1.5" of rain and average of 78 degrees since application No rain for ~30 hours after application then over 1" in 1 day Crabgrass, burweed, dollarweed, doveweed, mock strawberry, spurge & clover. Biggest issues burweed, dollarweed, spurge and clover. Mixed a little lighter than recommended for St. Augustine as I've not used this before. Day 5 the spurge and burweed have been hit hard and the clover is browning as well. Without having the directions in front of me, I believe 2 weeks between the first two applications is recommended and I'll be following up with the full strength recommendation at that time.

Sedge and weed control

Love this product
By Lynette on 08/14/2020
I live in south Florida where everything grows out of bounds including weeds. I got sho tired off spending half my outside time filling barrels with leaky weeds from my planted beds. My pavers looked horrible. Blindside takes only three days to show signs of working and after a week or so weeds are close to dead. This saves my back and no more aching muscles from bending over for hours.

Too expensive for what I got, nothing.

I used this product on my neighbors lawn to kill nutsedge. After two applications some, not all of the nutsedge turned yellow and the lawn is still full of it. Not what you want when you pay this kind of money for a product
Expert response:
Depending on the type of nutsedge you have it may take repeat applications to get control of, ie for purple nutsedge it is only labeled to suppress it and recommends Two applications of Blindside Herbicide 14 to 20 days apart may increase control over a single application.
Varied with type of St. Augustine grass
By Joyce on 11/30/2020
Tried this as we have a problem with sandburs. It did kill the weeds! We have two types of St. Augustine and it did well with the Bitter Blue. Our Classic did not weather so good and the damage could be seen. I did read the reviews before purchasing and I am hopeful this will come back with our further testing and treatment. Do My Own has been a big help in maintaining our lawn.

Kills hard to kill clover
By Barry on 12/31/2020
I've tried many different big box clover killers multiple times. None were even closely effective, all I did was harm my St Augustine. I tried Blindside one time and it wiped out this hard to kill clover in my southern Alabama lawn. Worth the price and very effective. Worked so well I hope the cover comes back so I can kill it again, lol. PS I used the lower rate and it was excellect.

Blindside worked for me
By Mark on 10/22/2021
Sections of my yard were infested with dove and button weed. Too much to pull by hand. Applied .23 Blindside per gallon water in my backpack sprayer and sprayed the entire infested areas. Started seeing results within a week and second week. Really amazing because the St. Augustin is still alive but you can see brown dead stuff wherever there were those weeds. Some places there was nothing but dove weed and it's totally annihilated so I'll re-sod there. The surprise was it killed off the button weed also! It stunted the grass growth a little but it was becoming dormant. Anyway, I picked a dry spell here on the Texas Gulf Coast when I sprayed. Totally worth my money and I have plenty left over just in case. Thank you customer service and these reviews.
