By Rich in Columbia, SC on 02/22/2015

After fighting poa annua for the last few years it is good to find something that works. It seems expensive for such a small amount of product, but the amount used per gallon of water is so small it …

The best results ever!

By Dennis in Leland, NC on 08/08/2015

This stuff really works. Results are slow, 2-3 weeks, but follow directions, use a good quality surfactant, and watch weeds disappear. Even with the blistering heat from this summer, no turf damage, n…

Using Certainty
5 of 5 stars
By Marilyn in Kiln, MS on 10/02/2016

Works well in Sprayer. Expensive but if it rids yard of certain weeds, I am all for it. In the South, we really have a problem with Nutsedge.

Didn't do anything to Quackgrass
1 of 5 stars
By Sharon in Crosby, TX on 11/01/2021

I have a couple patches of quackgrass and this was recommended on multiple websites. From reviews, the quackgrass should have started browning in a week. It has not, in fact it appears to be flourishi…

Expert Response  Expert response:

You may notice signs of the quackgrass dying (discoloration-yellowing or browning) within 2-3 weeks after you have applied Certainty but it is normal not to see anything for at least a month. Per the product label, you can make an additional application 4 or more weeks after the initial application as needed. Best results are obtained when target weeds are actively growing & not disturbed by mowing for at least 2 days before and 2 days after application. Warm, moist conditions following application will accelerate activity; cold, dry conditions will delay activity. Drought stressed weeds are less susceptible.

Expert Response  Expert response:

We apologize results were not as expected, it sounds like there was just not enough time allowed following the application to see results. You may notice signs of the weeds (discoloration-yellowing or browning) within 2-3 weeks after you have applied Certainty but it is normal not to see anything for at least a month. Per the product label, you can make an additional application 4 or more weeks after the initial application as needed but should not apply after only 1 week.
