Customer Reviews for Blindside Herbicide WDG

Dollar weeds are on label but this stuff didn't seem to phase them one bit.

  Expert response:
You may need to try two applications of the Blindside for Dollarweed since it can be a tough weed to control for an entire season. (Just be sure that you don't exceed the annual rates on the product label: http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/msds/Blindside_Herbicide_04-19-11_Comm.pdf) Dollarweed also needs lots of water to thrive - probably less than your lawn, so adjusting your watering schedule may help to slow down the Dollarweed as well. We apologize that you are not happy from the results from the product. We are always happy to assist you by telephone, email, or live chat as well.

Used on St Augustine in east tex. Applied per lable. Did NOT kill my dollar weed or clover, but sure wiped out my St. Aug.

  Expert response:
Thank you for your comments! There are many factors when using herbicides that can affect the outcomes. St. Augustine is a particularly sensitive turfgrass, especially if you are applying herbicides when the turf may be under stress from heat or drought. Blindside can sometimes cause tip burn on St. Augustine at labeled rates, especially if you have Floratam, but the turf should recover from this. If you used a surfactant with Blindside, that would cause extra sensitivity, too. Blindside does typically do very well on dollarweed, although it is not unusual to need multiple applications for this plant (or for mature clover). We are happy to troubleshoot with you by email or by telephone at 866-581-7378. We appreciate your feedback and your business!

I followed the directions on the package exactly and this product cause severe damage to my Centipede lawn. It did kill the weeds but also killed a significant amount of my lawn. I now have many dead brown spots in my lawn and it does not appear to be recovering at all after 3 weeks. I am in the deep south and it did rain for 30 days straight after applying the product so I am not certain if this is what caused the damage. I am now scared to use the remaining product which is a shame because it cost me so much money.

If I could rate this zero or negative stars I would. I followed all the directions on recommended grass but it was a disaster. The grass is now gone but the weeds it was supposed to treat remain. I will now have to have the weeds poisoned with something that will kill them and have new sod applied at the cost of thousands of dollars. Even with some weeds my yard actually looked fairly good before blindside destroyed it. My wife is even angrier than I am and my neighbors are in disbelief over what happened. Do not buy this product.

I bought a bottle of this very expensive herbicide on the advice of a friend for use in flower beds and around my pond for control of invasive weeds. I am very disappointed that it killed only a very very few of the weeds and it took over 10 days to show any sign of dying. I went on line and found a herbicide called Diquat that did an unbelievable job even when applied only 2 hours before a rain. The next morning the invasive weeds had already turned brown and were dying. So I spent ~$120.00 for a very small bottle of a product that was a failure. Not sure what is made to control certainly not weeds. Lesson learned!

It hasn’t worked for my wild onions I am not happy with the outcome.

  Expert response:
We are sorry to hear results were not satisfactory with the Blindside on wild onion. This is a difficult weed to control as underground bulbs can persist for years in the soil and it can come back so may take a few applications. You also want to be sure to apply this product when temperatures are above 55 as it works best in warmer temps than colder temperatures. When using Blindside Herbicide WDG it could take up to 10-14 days for complete results to take place, although you will often see yellowing within a few days.

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.

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!
