Customer Reviews for Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer

I'm pleased with my order but the crabgrass is not. Drive XLR8 is a great herbicide for crabgrass.

I applied Drive XLR8 to my yard with Prime Source Duo Stick Select when no rain was forecast for several days. After about five hours after application, we had an unexpected popup rain shower. I was afraid the rain had washed it all away. Within a few days, all of the crabgrass and clover throughout the yard turned yellow and died. I previously tried the stuff from the big box stores that was supposed to kill crabgrass, but it was ineffective. Drive XLR8 was money well spent.

Drive works as advertised , use at the higher rate . The product works well . The dye needs to be used at a higher rate as well .

Use at the higher rate . I will apply a pre emergent in the spring. That is the best way for total control.

Knocked out crabgrass in about 3 days. Had only moderate success on my clover.

Our 2 year old lawn from a new home construction became infested with White Dutch Clover. It spread fast in many areas of the lawn. I used 2-4-D and that got most of the weeds but only slightly burned the clover. I spray regularly for weeds but couldn't get rid of the clover. These was an amazing kit. I have never used the dye or surfactant before so I was hesitant about it at first. When applying the dye I started very light and needed to use a little more. I was worried about the new driveway as I had light overspray. As it says through the dye fades away in 24-48hrs zero issues. Tractor tires do have a light tint though as I used a pull behind sprayer. The first few days looked like it was working and then continued to see improvements week after week. I am assuming this is the Surfactant shielding the Herbicide and letting it do it's job after rain and sprinklers. To this day about 3 weeks after spraying we feel it's still working as intended. We have an open field full of weeds to the North of us ready for development and another side a bare lawn with patches of weeds. This has been the best product to use in conjunction with 2-4-D on our lawn.

Used it on my lawn where the crabgrass was taking over due to dry conditions this summer. It killed it very effectively. It started yellowing some within 2 days and within a week it was apparent that it had been killed.

I had a lot of crabgrass and the kit worked great. The Surfactant helped bind the XLR8 to the plants, the indicator dye really helped me insure that all the crabgrass plants received treatment, and the XLR8 did a great job of killing the crabgrass without harming the regular grass. I would definitely buy this product again and have recommended it to some of my neighbors.

Been purchasing all lawn and insect chemicals from domyown for past three years-commercial grade effective products that groundskeepers and exterminators use and unavailable at local big box or garden centers, Great. prices, fast sometimes free shipping, easy online ordering, able. to view product label and application instructions. Applied Drive as directed with surfactant using Chapin battery backpack sprayer Used primarily for mature crabgrass that escaped pre-emergent treatment in spring, especially along edge of driveway and sidewalk and also for several. spots of white clover and black medic Within 2 days noticed crabgrass turning yellow eventually reddish brown It's been 2 weeks, little if any crabgrass, clover and black medic total kill, no harm to lawn Compared to products found in. big box stores is considerably more effective higher concentration and more economical. Drive 18.92% Quinclorac @ high app rate of 1.5 oz/gal=$1.49/1000 sq ft Weed-b-gon with crabgrass control only 2.13%. Quinclorac @ app rate of 4 oz/gal=$1.68/1000 sq ft, used this last year with very poor results Highly recommend Drive!

Used the XLR8 on 3 acres of grass. It was being taken over by crabgrass and Japanese clover. We thought we were going to have to kill it all and reseed all 3 acres. The XLR8 did its job and now we are just over seeding the existing grass.

I sprayed drive and within two days the crabgrass was brown and my sprayer wasn't even working properly. Had the sprayer not had a clog from a prior use, I am sure it would have been even better. I plan to spray one more time to ensure effective elimination of all crabgrass. It had no impact on clovers.

I have Bermuda grass in clay soil. I take pride in my yard and have used all types of weed killer. I have had a strip of weeds adjacent to my driveway I just could not get rid of. Pulling the weeds and chemicals would not work. One application with my pump sprayer and they are gone! FYI my Bermuda yellowed for a week and I though I messed up. The weeds were dead in three days and my grass was back to normal in 10.

Outstanding results - Withering in a week after watering in. Gone in 2. No yellowing in the Bermuda.

I received what I ordered in a couple of days. No fuss. Price as good as anywhere. It was not stocked by local outlets. It seems to be killing crabgrass (September), but it will really be tested next spring.

I was skeptical about using a herbicide on my lawn as I have tried other products that killed my lawn also. I had areas of crab grass growing so I gave this product a try and I was pleasantly surprised it only killed the crabgrass and not my lawn. It did take 3 to 4 weeks for the results. I live in the Inland Empire of So. California. I followed the directions exactly. I do recommend this product.

Works well! I had crabgrass all over the yard. I spot treated on my tall fescue lawn. It works fast and did not harm the lawn. The crabgrass turned brown within two weeks from applying this herbicide.

Immediately fried my crabgrass along with a few other miscellaneous weeds with one application in July. Slightly, and I mean Slightly, discolored the bermudagrass which bounced back in a week. Don't apply in super hot weather unless you're watering regularly or you will fry your bermuda. Best crabgrass killer on the market in my opinion. Good luck!!

I liver in the NE United States. I apply at the recommended concentrations and with MSA. This stuff works better than any other weed killer I've used. And doesn't touch the lawn grass.

This product was compared with another product I have for crab grass on two different sides of my yard, after the first application of both products 29 days later you could see the drive XLR8 side didn't need a 2nd application but the other side of the yard needed a 2nd dose.

This is the best post-emergence crabgrass and nutsedge compound I have ever used. It might take a couple of applications to completely eliminate but with one of DoMyOwn's good pre-emergence materials applied in the fall, this is truly a (grass/sedge) killer of a program.
