Customer Reviews for Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer

The past several summers, crab grass has invaded my bermuda lawn. I tried several national brand crabgrass herbicides from a home improvement store. Quite expensive and produced zero results. This year I tried Drive XLR8 and Prime Source Duo Stick. I mixed 1 1/2 oz herbicide to 1 gallon water +added stick in a tank sprayer. I sprayed the entire lawn. Within a week, all of the existing crabgrass had died. I will need to do a spot application in a few areas that new growth has appeared. 64 oz jug was about $60 or $1.42 per mixed gallon. Works and less expensive than worthless national brands.

The crabgrass started showing signs of distress after just 3 days. Turned darker purple then yellow within a week. The bermuda grass around it seems to be doing fine. I applied in 90 degree weather to tall crab grass that hadn't been mowed for about 2 weeks. Time will tell on if it keeps it at bay!

Product works as advertised. Selectively killed the crabgrass only and left our ryegrass alone. I would recommend this product.

I had a so much crabgrass in my yard the fescue was barely visible. Within 2 days of applying Drive XLR8 the crabgrass was starting to brown and by day 6 all of it was completely dead. I used the Duo Stick Select surfactant with this and and believe it really helped with absorbtion. This stuff is expensive but does a great job killing crabgrass. Now I just need to keep up with using a pre-emergent to break the cycle.

I had very good luck with the herbicide. The hardest part was getting the proper amount for the area I wanted to cover. I would like to see better instructions for application's for larger areas.

I had an explosion of crab grass last year and this year was no better! I tried other killers last year that really didn't do the trick. I tried XLR8 and couldn't be happier. It kills the crab grass quickly. In a week all the crab grass was yellow or brown. Next year I'll use it instead of the pre-emergence.

Spray crab grass once and its dead in a couple days. After one day starts to turn a rust color, works perfectly in my cool season lawn.

XLR 8 worked great on the old mature crabgrass in my Bermuda grass, Like it says a little goes a long ways. (Just don't use it on your lawn when it's 100deg in Kansas!)

I had a particular evasive traveling grass that I could not kill short of killing my whole lawn. This product worked great. Killed that weed grass, but saved my lawn. This particular grass was so tough that it went right through my landscaping cloth and over ran my flower beds. I now have my flower beds back. I would definitely recommend this product.

Purchased this product along with the MSO. Sprayed my crabgrass on Monday and by Sunday it was orange. Wish I could upload a picture. I'm very happy with this product it worked exactly as described and I mixed it exactly as prescribed

Ordered on a Saturday night, received on Tuesday afternoon. When you get service quickly from far away, it's always a beautiful thing. Follow the directions, the maker knows the best rate for sure kill(use a surfactant- it is important) . If a second app is needed, Follow the directions. Enjoy the rewards. After 3 days I was seeing results! I have 10k sq ft and used the 1.45 oz/per 1k rate. The first app eradicated 90% of my crabgrass. After waiting 14 days I made a second "spot spray" walk through and required only a half gallon mixed. Sure beats hand pulling doncha know. PreM is on my list of lawn care must haves. Pure neighborhood envy/domination is my lofty goal.

Product met expectations. Double sprits during one application did the trick. Don't waste time with cheap alternative they're not worth the frustration!!!

Fantastic results!!! I had more dead crabgrass then you could shake a stick at. Highly recommend product estimate 95% kill rate. Used as prescribed in backpack sprayer over entire 1.5 acre yard. Took about 6 hours since I only fill to 2 gal. in 4 gal tank ( I'm no spring chicken any more). A few tanks were a mix with 2,4,d for other problem weeds.

I recently noticed some significant infestation of crabgrass and other weeds appearing in my lawn. I immediately used a common weed and crabgrass killer hat is found in every hardware or big box store. After applying, to my frustration, the crabgrass infestation exploded. I immediately went on line and started to investigate other products to deal with this growing problem. Based on my investigation I selected "Drive XLR Herbicide Crabgrass killer" . I received my order within a few days and applied it using a backpack sprayer, following the instructions. Within a couple of days it was evident the product was working and within 10 days my lawn is crabgrass free. I had hoped it would also work on some of the other weeds that had appeared with the crabgrass, however despite the fact that not every weed was killed I am super pleased with the job that was done on the crabgrass. especially as it is one of the harder weeds to eradicate. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who has a crabgrass problem.

I had a lot of crabgrass growing on my 3 acre property. After the first application almost everything was gone. Repeated after 3 weeks and there are no visual signs that there was any crabgrass ever.

Kills crabgrass quick! Doesn't kill tall fescue type turf which is awesome!!!

Really happy with the result of applying this in early fall prior to reseeding my lawn. All the crabgrass died in about 4 days.

I used this when crabgrass began to creep into my cool-season NJ lawn. One application at the lightest rate (0.5 oz per 1,000 sq ft.) caused the weeds to turn slightly white and die. The following season I applied Tenacity as a pre-emergent and had no issues. I'd highly recommend both products as well as DoMyOwn.com.

I applied it late last summer to mature grass, with excellent kill off. Early application this year has worked well, thus far. There are some late germinators that will be treated again in the near future. There may be mild discoloring of Bermuda, but no damage at all.

Oops! Apparently MSMA can still be purchased. This is definitely what I'll use for crabgrass control, even if it does cause some temporary yellowing of grass.

Works great on all weeds and doesn't harm Bermuda at all. It also killed some St Augustine creeping up on my Bermuda, I was so happy

This stuff has been destroying our torpedo grass infestation, what a god-send!!! We have done 3 treatments on our Emerald Zoysia (my husband made it a bit stronger that the instructions) and we love it. Even with 50% stronger it isn't killing the grass. We finally got quack grass out of our beds, now time to get this out of our grass!!!
