Customer Reviews for Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer

Used the product primarily to address crabgrass. Within a week, the crabgrass within a 20 ft x 20 ft area showed signs of wilting. The rest of my acre of which I sprayed at the same time seemed to be immuned to the product... So I won't be purchasing Drive XLR 8 again.

I mixed this according to directions with DyneAmic Surfactant and spot sprayed some well established crabgrass. It didn't hurt my hybrid bermuda at all but most of the crabgrass is gone. It also killed the milkweed that I've been having trouble with.

Used Drive with Endrun and surfactant and the crab grass along with most of the other weeds are dead within day. What didn't die I either missed or is looking really bad. .. Now three weeks later; most of the weeds are dead and a minute amount of crab grass revived slightly, but still looks like it will die soon. May have been due to not enough product being applied. I used a lawn tractor with a tow behind sprayer, mixed as directed for amount of product per acre with 12 gallons of water. Sprayed more then an acre so I may have stretched it a little. Will use again if the anti emergent doesn't work this spring.

This did a job on my crabgrass. Its been 1 1/2 since spraying and one mowing later it appears to have gotten most of the crabgrass. I may have to follow up in a few areas that had an extra heavy concentration. It did not do anything to the yellow sweet clover I had and only wrinkle the buck horn a little but did not kill as best as I can tell. Then again, maybe it wasn't supposed to.

Applied by the book, with ATV good crabgrass kill. no ill effect on turf grass.Sprayed 3 acres with 60 gallons of mix, I very pleased. I cannot give 5 stars until I plant new grass seed and view new germination.

Saw this product online and watched the video. Yard covered in crabgrass but now crabgrass dead and grass still good. Yard looks horrible because all crabgrass is dead (brown ) but product is awesome. Will probably have to buy more for back yard and to respray some areas that had more mature crabgrass. You won't be disappointed I know I am impressed with this product.

I have tried all of the stuff from lowes and Home Depot and nothing killed the grab grass while it was growing. Drive xlr8 killed it all to the root in one application. Took about 7 days. I mixed it 75/25 with a surfactant and set the sprayer to 2oz per gallon. Used a gallon to do an acre. Kind of high priced but better then wasting your money on other products.

I have 2 1/2 acres and lots of crabgrass. Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer has been the best I have used to kill the crabgrass and other weeds in my yard. I am spot spraying where some did not die when I used my tank sprayer. I hope to have all the crabgrass gone using Drive XLR8.

Product works excellent thought it was a little late in the season to spray for crab grass but I gave it a shot any way with some xlr8 and it performed great even in late season application

I used this on a cool-weather fescue lawn according to directions, along with a surfactant. I had a nearly 100% selective kill of crabgrass within a week. It is the best crabgrass control product that I have ever used. This lawn also had substantial areas of nimblewill (Muhlenbergia shreberi). I was worried that the product might harm this grass since it is not listed on the product label. However, it had no adverse effect on nimblewill.

I paired the DyneAmic Surfactant with the Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer and it killed about half of the crabgrass I had in the yard in the first 14 days. The instructions say it may take up to there applications. I'm applying the second application to those areas where the crabgrass is still present today. I am extremely happy with the product thus far.

I sprayed this around the first of Aug. I mixed around 3 1/2 oz and 3/4 oz of surfactant in 1 1/2 gal sprayer. At this time of yr. the crabgrass is in the mature stage in So. Indiana. The morning I sprayed this there was morning dew on it, with the oil surfactant it nocked the dew off and made it easier to see where I sprayed. I don't know if this made a difference in the killing effect, but in 2 days you could see it was stressed. Now it is the Aug. 16 and what I sprayed is dead and not sprouting it's seeds. I have bought a lot of different chemicals from "Do My Own" and pretty well everything I have bought works as is described. Some of the mixing instructions could be better in mixing small amounts, but that comes from the companys that produce products. I will never buy expensive Bayer products again. I tried their crabgrass and weed killer first and crabby just laughed at what I wasted my money on.

I spot applied Drive XLR8 with my backpack sprayer at a rate of 1.5oz per gallon along with .5oz surfactant per gallon. I was amazed at how quickly the crabgrass started to die. This works very well for crabgrass.

I received exllent results with my control of my crabgrass. It was starting to headout when I applied it. It worked both on my bluegrass and buffalo grass. I will likely use it again.

This stuff totally killed the crabgrass D E A D! However, it didn't do anything else to any of the other weeds in my pitiful Bermuda lawn in Georgia. I do have some Trimec 992 coming to take care of the broadleaf weeds and I also put down some Dimension 2EW for pre-emergent for the fall and I'll reapply the Dimension in probably Februaury before the spring warming and crabgrass seeds and Poa start to sprout again. Drive is the crabgrass slaying product it claims to be.

The product works great. I followed the instructions on the label and the crabgrass started to die 2 days later. I "spot treated" and used 1 oz per gallon in a backpack sprayer and added the recommended amount of the suggested surfactant.

I had a lot of crab grass in my lawn and this killed it quickly and completely. Did no damage to lawn. I saw results within 3 days and all was dead within about 7-10 days. Follow directions and the product will perform.
