  • Asked by Don from Kenesaw, Nebraska
    09/01/2021
    Q
    Applied Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer to kill actively growing crabgrass which it did great. Now I have new crabgrass growing through the dead crabgrass, what do I need to do?
    A

    Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer is only a post emergent herbicide and will only kill actively growing weeds. To prevent new crabgrass from germinating, a pre-emergent needs to be applied when soil temperatures are around 55 degrees. 

    Dimension 2EW is one of the most successful pre-emergents for crabgrass prevention.

    Will this kill crabgrass after it's already present? My yard if full of crabgrass and foxtail

    Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer is a post emergent and should kill crabgrass and foxtail after it has already emerged. We also recommend to mix in Non Ionic Surfactant to ensure the product sticks.

  • Asked by Jason from Atlanta, Ga
    02/19/2017
    Q
    What steps should I take to be able to keep getting in new grass and killing clover and weeds?
    I seed right before fall and got alot of new grass after killing what was there. I have alot of spots thatneed more seeding. Question I have is clover what it looks to be is starting to take over. I need more fescue seed but want to kill clover to. I haven't used fertilizer and weed control yet. When to do pre emergent? What products do you recommended?
    A

    We do have a post-emergent product that can be used in your lawn for clover. Depending on the type of fescue you have, this product can be used at the time of seeding. Drive XLR8 Herbicide is a very good product that is labeled for clover, as well as various other types of broadleaf weeds. It is safe for use in fescue as well. If you are overseeding with fine fescue, it is recommended that you use Drive XLR8 at least 7 days before seeding or 28 days after emergence of the new seed. If you are overseeding with tall fescue, Drive XLR8 can be used at any time. We do recommend using an MSO surfactant with this product as well. Please check the label with regards to this.

    A pre-emergent can be used at the same time as a post emergent. Prodiamine 65 WDG is a very good option. It will prevent many broadleaf and grassy weeds from emerging. This should be done when the soil temperature reaches 55 degrees Fahrenheit. In southern states, individuals should be using this product in late February or early to mid March depending on the soil temperature.

    We would also recommend checking out our Warm Season Lawn Schedule as well. This gives very good information on when to fertilize, use pre-emergents, etc. in your lawn.

    Q
    Do you have a product that will kill crabgrass but not my other grass?
    I live in MN and having problem with crabgrass , how do I get rid of it?
    A

    We have an entire page on our site that contains crabgrass killing products that are selective, meaning they will kill crabgrass and other weeds, but not harm your grass.  Here is a link to the section:  http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/post-emergents-c-188_478_494.html

    The first product on the page, Drive XLR8, is our most popular.

  • Asked by Eddie from New Rochelle, Ny
    07/15/2013
    Q
    Alternative recommendation for Drive XLR8?
    I live in NY and see that Drive XLR8 can't be shipped to NY, do you have an alternative recommendation for post emergent crabgrass killer? I have a typical NE lawn (Kentucky bluegrass and tall rescue). Many thanks!
    A
    You could use the product called QuinKill Max Crabgrass and Weed Killer. It is actually the same product as the Drive just made by a different manufaturer who happened to have registered their product with your state. You can see the full instructions of how to use it on the Product Label. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
