    Q
    How long should I keep my dogs away from the yard after treating with Drive XLR8?
    Crabgrass has taken over our yard and we need to do some serious control. I'm concerned because both of my dogs have a habit of eating grass. Can I still use the Drive XLR8 or should I use something else?
    A
    You should keep your dogs off the treated area for 2-3 hours following the application. After the product has dried there should not be any issues with your dogs using the treated areas. We do recommend that you take the time to read the Drive XLR8 product label and MSDS before you pruchase the product as customers have different perceptions of what they feel is or is not safe for use on their property.

    Q
    Will Drive XLR8 kill Torpedo grass without killing my Empire Zoysia?
    Torpedo grass has spread from my next door neighbor's yard and is taking over my entire front yard. I am looking for a product that will kill the Torpedo grass and also help me maintain a Torpedo free lawn.
    A
    Drive XLR8 is labeled to kill torpedo grass in zoysia and you can use it for that.  However, it will typically require at least 2 applications at 21 day intervals.  Please read the product label for complete instructions on treating torpedo grass.

    Q
    Where can I find a crabgrass control as good as Asulox?
    A
    Our most popular crabgrass product is Drive XLR8. Drive XLR8 Herbicide is the latest technology in providing unsurpassed post-emergent crabgrass control. Drive XLR8 is a post emergent selective herbicide that is labeled for crabgrass as well many other troublesome weeds. Not for use on St Augustine grass.

  • Asked by John from Frontenac, Ks
    08/05/2011
    Q
    I have dallas grass, crab grass and water grass.
    Is there anything that will kill these without killing my fescue?
    A
    Unfortunately there is nothing that is labeled to selectively kill dallas grass, and not your fescue.  So for the Dallas grass you would spot treat it with a glyphosate product, which would kill the Dallas grass and also a little bit of the surrounding fescue grass.Then re-seed with fescue in those areas where the surrounding fescue was killed.  For your crabgrass you can use Drive XLR8, which may also take care of the water grass.

    Q
    What is the most effective herbicide for post-emergence (mid-summer) crab grass control?
    We used a pre-emergence herbicide, but we still have crabgrass.
    A
    You did not mention what type of grass that you have, but our most popular crab grass control product by far is Drive XLR8.  Please read the product label for full instructions and to make sure it is compatible with your grass.

  • Asked by Sue
    05/08/2011
    Q
    How much do I need to mix with a 2 gal tank? The directions say to mix 1.45 oz of Drive to treat 1000 feet.
    Does this mean I need 2.9 oz for a 2 gallon tank. I've gotten conflicting information on how much 2 gallons will treat. Thanks.
    A

    The first thing you need to know when using an herbicide such as Drive XLR8 Herbicide is that the exact amount of water you dilute it with is not important. It is only important to make sure you are using the correct amount of product per 1,000 sq ft of lawn. Use too much and you risk damaging your lawn, use too little and you will not get adequate results. You will need to use 1.45 oz per 1,000 sq ft . To decide how much water you want to use, you should mark a 1,000 sq ft area, fill your sprayer with water ONLY, and start walking and spraying just as if you were doing the actual application of herbicide. When you are done walking and spraying the 1,000 sq ft area note how much water it took you to spray that area, and that is the amount you will want to mix 1.45 oz of product with for each 1,000 sq ft area that needs to be treated. You will need to make sure treated areas are irrigated with at least 1/2 inch of water (either by rainfall or by sprinkler) following the application.

    Q
    Should I start now for crabgrass in Ohio?
    A
    We do not know the exact time of year you will start applying Drive XLR8 in Ohio. Weeds grow at different times in different regions and there is no way for us to know if the weeds have started growing in your area yet. According the Drive XLR8 product label you should start applying the product when the weeds are actively growing if you are using it as a broadcast spray. If you are using Drive XLR8 as a spot spray you should use tables 1, 2 and 3 on the product label and apply the product according to the turf species, rate and growth stages indicated in the tables. If you are not sure when the weeds start to actively grow in your region you can contact the master gardener at your local cooperative extension office for more information.
