This kills crabgrass! Period!
By Kellen on 08/31/2015
This stuff is unbelievable. I moved to a home with a terrible yard. Within a few days of spraying (using only a tiny amount of poison), every crabgrass plant in my yard was dead. I did use a professional surfactant, so I can't testify to results without it. I measured the amount of water it took me to spray 1,000 sq ft, and I ended up using about 1oz per gallon, which may have been slightly too much, but no damage was done to my lawn.

Drive herbicide
By Daryl on 09/01/2015
It knocked out my crabgrass. Turned yellow in 2 days and brown in a week. My only complaint being it did not touch my clover but on my next spraying I just added a cheap broadleaf herbicide with the DRIVE. I recommend this product and will be buying more next season.

Kills the Crabgrass Un-harms the Good Grass
By Mike on 09/05/2015
Excellent for weeds
By Mrs. on 10/27/2020
This was the only product that killed all of the weeds which had taken over our yard. It does leave yellow spots as it states, but that's fine. Till your lawn or add more dirt and seed and all will be fine. All of the weeds were dead with two days at the latest.

Works well
By Mark on 07/30/2021
I have not used any of this shipment, however, I did use it earlier this season. I have had a chronic issue with crabgrass for years. I have sprayed for it twice this year. I did not get pre-emergence down this year. I have virtually no crabgrass this year so far.

Finally, Something that really works!
By Jim on 09/10/2021
After spending a lot of time and money on other products from local home improvement stores and having very poor results, it was really great to finally find something that works as advertised. Drive XLR8 really did the job on our stubborn crabgrass, even late in the season when it is hard to kill. I sprayed it on per the instructions and by about 4 days later, the crabgrass was as dead as dead can be. Great product, I highly recommend it. Make sure you also buy the recommended additive to make it 'wet' the crabgrass and allow the poison to work effectively.

XLR8 Herbicide kit
By Lee on 09/17/2021
This kit worked exactly as advertised. Crabgrass was killing my lawn, and no matter what I used, the crabgrass kept growing. Then I called DoMyOwn and spoke to an agent. She told me just how good this was on post-emergent crabgrass. I followed the instructions and within 24 to 30 hours, I saw results. The crabgrass was turning yellow and eventually brown. It was dead. The more important thing was that it did not kill the grass, which is coming back. I used a 2-gallon pump sprayer which made it very easy to apply. Also, the blue indicator dye lets you see where you are spraying so that you don't over-lap (please wear rubber gloves when mixing in the blue dye. It can take a while to wash it off your hands, I know.) I have recommended this product to some family, friends, and neighbors who are having the same problem. This is a great product!

Use minimum mix rate
By Brandon on 11/14/2022
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!!

Killed My Crabgrass Quick
By Doug on 09/15/2023
XLR8 is not my go to for killing crabgrass. I was using Tenacity which also works well but turns the crabgrass white and takes a while to kill them off. The white doesn't look great in the yard. XLR8 works faster and turns the crabgrass a dark green/brownish color that doesn't stand out badly, but they die off quickly and just go away and isn't noticeable like when using Tenacity. I have cool season grasses and it didn't harm them at all. This is my new go-to.

Crab Grass Gone
By Paolo on 09/26/2012
Verified Purchase
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.
Expert response:
Works!!!!!
By Kenneth on 09/01/2015
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.
Out standing product
By Rick on 09/06/2015
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.
Crabgrass Killer That Worked
By James on 09/08/2015
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.
Crab grass control

Excellent crabgrass control
By Jim on 07/07/2016
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.
great price fast shipping

It works
By Robert on 08/14/2016
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.
Crabby killer works
By Steve on 08/16/2016
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.

Crabgrass killer suoreme
By Sam on 08/31/2016
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.
Impressive results
