    Q
    Can I use a hose sprayer with this product, such as Ortho Dial & Spray? If so, should I set it at 3 or 4?
    A
    You can use a hose end sprayer to apply this product, that is not a problem.  The instructions call for 3 to 4 ounces Hi-Yield 2, 4-D Selective Weed Killer per 1000 square feet, not per gallon.  If you set your dial to a 3 or 4, then that mixes 3 to 4 ounces per gallon of water.  This is fine, IF you can properly make the 4 ounces cover the 1000 square feet.  You should place water in the reservoir to see how many gallons it takes you to cover the 1000 square feet first so you don't burn your grass.

    Q
    Can Hi-Yield 2, 4-D kill prickle pears?
    A
    Hi-Yield 2, 4-D Selective Weed Killer is not labeled for prickle pear so we are not sure if it would be effective for this type of use. We recommend that you contact the manufacturer directly as they should be able to provide you with more information. You can reach VPG at 888-583-5296.

    Q
    Amount of 2,4-D per gallon of water in hand sprayer?
    A
    It depends on how much you are trying to treat.  One pint of 2,4 D will treat 1/4 acre of land and should be applied in at least 4 gallons of water over 1/4 acre.  This works out to be about 3 ounces per 1000 square feet.  It really doesn't matter how much water you use, but the 3 ounces has to be applied over the 1000 square feet.

    Q
    Is there an expiration date for Hi-Yield weed killer?
    A
    Insecticides and Herbicides do not have an expiration date.  Most all insecticides and herbicides are made to last for years and years on the shelf.  Most all will last at least 5 years as long as you keep the lid on tight and keep it out of direct sunlight and areas of high heat.  You should shake the bottle to prevent settling of active ingredients every few months to extend the life of the product in the bottle.

    Q
    Can I put down my grass plugs after spraying with Hi-Yield 2, 4-D Selective Weed Killer?
    I have dollar weeds that are hard to get rid of. I purchased the Hi-Yield 2, 4-D Selective Weed Killer on the advice of a gardener. I also need the mixture formula for a 2 gal pump up sprayer. I have a pint of Hi-Yield 2, 4-D Selective Weed Killer and my area is about 1,000 to 1,500 sq. ft.
    A
    The Hi-Yield 2, 4-D Selective Weed Killer product label says to use a 1/4 pint in at least 3 gallons of water to treat smaller areas like what you are describing.  You should mow 1 to 2 days before application.  You should not put down grass plugs for at least 3 weeks after using this product.

    Q
    How do I kill wild onions in my lawn?
    I have a two acre lot in west Tennessee on what used to be agricultural land. I can't afford to seed or sod the whole thing. The front yard is not too bad because it has been hydroseeded with Bermuda. In the back, all we have done is mow. (Oddly, when you cut a pasture with a riding mower, it doesn't know it's not a pasture any more. . .ha ha!) We have onions out the ying yang! I've heard liming will help. That makes a little sense to me because I limed my front yard a few years ago, and the onions are almost non existent. I was looking at your Battleship III. Is this a good product to spray on my seeded/sodded areas as well as my non seeded areas?
    A
    Battleship III is a good product, but since it is 2, 4-D free it is not labeled to treat wild onions.  A product with 2, 4-D is usually suggested.  We would recommend the Hi-Yield 2, 4-D Selective Weed Killer as your best option for treating wild onions.
