wild violets in fescue lawn
By Don on 06/25/2017
I tried many products and nothing would kill the purple violets taking over my yard. I order Spurge Power and after spraying the violets started to fade. That was 2 weeks ago. I now need to do a small application to get the ones I missed.

Weed killer
By Matt on 06/19/2016
Well it doesn't kill the grass in my yard it does kill everything else though my problem was clovers and creeping charlie thissels and dandy lions. Knocked them all down after a few applications of little over 3 ounces per gallon spray jug. Recommend 2 ounces per gallon. Anyway it did kill my flowers and other plants I had near so you will have too watch out for the over spray. Otherwise it doesn't work that fast, it takes about 2 days to see them die and then I resprayed in a week. Long story short use approx 4 ounces per gallon and it will do the job it's too bad the product only comes in a small bottle and the other is just too much money. I am from Madison Wi.

Spurge killer
By Steve on 09/18/2013
Verified Purchase
Hey, it works! (But it also kills a tiny bit of grass around it already not drowned out by the spurge). For 2 years I was told by a Nursery that I had to apply a powder mixture that would keep spurge seeds from germinating the following year. It was a joke, I might as well have applied fertilizer to the &%$# spurge. Spurge Power works!

So far so good!
By George on 06/14/2017
Using to control spurge on centipede. This stuff is killing the spurge with minimal effect on the grass. Every previous year I have watched spurge take over my lawn and nothing else has seemed to affect it. Highly recommend!

Tru Green used MCPA Ester plus Vanquish on my St Augustine lawn.
Both Dicamba and MCPA are active ingredients found in many products, however many of these may cause damage to St. Augustine grass. A good choice that contains both would be Monterey Spurge Power, which can be used as spot treatment on St. Augustine lawns since it may cause some discoloration. Be sure to read and follow the product label to be sure that it will suit your needs. Another option is Speedzone Southern Herbicide, which also contains two additional active ingredients and is a formula that may be more gentle on your turf, or Trimec Southern Broadleaf Hervbicide. Be sure that your target weeds are on the product label of the herbicide that you choose to apply.

Is late October a good time to apply? What pre emergent do you recommend?
Monterey Spurge Power can be applied as a broadcast as long as your turf is tolerant to it. October would be a good time to apply, as long as the weeds are actively growing and temps are above 55 degrees. Pre-emergent application depends on what type of turf you have and what you are aiming to treat. Please visit our Lawn Care Guide for more information.

I have 2 year old myoporum davis ground cover that has a few weeds inside.
Monterey Spurge Power should not be used on desirable groundcover or other ornamentals since it will likely cause damage to these plants. If you have grassy weeds in the myoporum, then you could use Fertilome Over The Top II Grass Killer to control the grassy weeds. If it is a large area, then you could also use a pre-emergent around the established ground cover, such as Snapshot.

We live in upstate NY. Have tried using round up weed killer for lawns and weed be gone with no success. This crazy weed just keeps spreading.
Yes, Monterey Spurge Power is labeled for creeping charlie in both warm and cool season grasses. You would use it at a rate of 1 - 1.25 fl oz per 2 - 5 gallons of water per 1000 sq ft. Local conditions may affect the use of this chemical as shown on the product label. We recommend you consult State Experimental Station or Extension Service weed specialist for specific recommendations for local weed problems and for information on possible lower dosages.

I sprayed on few dense patches of creeping wood sorrel in my lawn about a week ago. It's getting browning but they are still alive. Also I see some new green leaves between the brown ones. I want to treat as soon as possible.
Monterey Spurge Power can take time to kill treated weeds. It should not be applied be more than twice a year with an interval of 21 days between applications.

I made my application too strong and I have burn spots in my lawn. Have I killed the grass in those spots or will it come back?
Yes, if you sprayed Monterey Spurge Power too strong more than likely it has killed the grass in the spots that you're seeing. You can water the area if the application wasn't done too long ago, especially the burned spots and see if that helps any grass to regrow or wait 3 to 4 weeks after the application was made and reseed.
