    Weed Impede

    By Mark on 03/13/2014

    Excellent product as long as you use it every 6 months as directed (in AZ that is in March and October). Be sure to water the applied area if it des not rain. I have 1.25 acres with almost no weeds when used as compared to my neighbors that have weeds all over. I am a life long user now!

    Monterey Weed Impede

    By Steve on 02/05/2015

    Verified Purchase

    Not sure about other states but my Arizona weeds laughed at it.

    Expert ResponseExpert response:
    Weed Impede is designed to be a pre-emergent herbicide only, so if you are needing to treat existing weeds, then you will need to use an additional product. We are happy to assist you with choosing products appropriate for your situation, depending on what plants you are trying to control and in what areas. You may reach us by telephone at 866-581-7378 M-F 9a-5p EST.

    Good product, but too expensive in pints.

    By Rick on 01/28/2015

    Verified Purchase

    I've used this pre emergent for over 30 years and it is very effective for mostly grassy weeds and some broadleafs. Unfortunately DMOPC has been out of stock on gallons for some time and they don't list quarts at all. I bought a pint to get me by but the price is double per ounce.

    Expert ResponseExpert response:
    Thank you for your comments! We do have the same formulation available from other manufacturers with 40.4% Oryzalin. Surflan Pro Herbicide is available in pints and quarts here: http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/surflan-pro-herbicide-oryzalin-404-p-1819.html. Surflan is also available in a 2.5 gallon container for larger applications: http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/surflan-as-herbicide-p-1555.html. You may also call us for product availability at 866-581-7378 M-F 9a-5p EST.

    weed whacking = terrible work!

    By Lusa on 11/21/2016

    I live on an acre, which I keep clean from weeds with Weed Impede. It's a lot of spraying, but it's worth it keeping me from the nuisance of weed whacking during hot months. The product works as indicated. I've used it for years and now found the best price and reliable shipping on DoYourOwnPestControl. Highly recommend this company and the product.

Sort Questions
Q
Can Weed Impede be applied with a watering can and if so how do I mix it?
A

The Weed Impede product label does recommend that you use either a handheld sprayer or a backpack sprayer to get even coverage and this would be our recommendation as well. The amount of Weed Impede you will use will vary depending on what weeds you are trying to prevent and what season you are treating in but in general you will need 1-12 fl oz per 1,000 sq ft of area to be treated. According to the Weed Impede product label:

"The amount of water used to apply WEED IMPEDE™ herbicide is not critical, but should be sufficient for uniform coverage of the target area. Calibrate by determining the volume of water required to treat 1,000 square feet. Use this calibration volume to determine the amount of water and WEED IMPEDE™ herbicide needed to treat the target area (see the following calibration example). Note: Sprayer calibration (volume of spray needed to treat 1,000 square feet) will vary with each individual operator.
Steps in Calibration:
1. Mark an area of 1,000 square feet (i.e. 20 by 50 feet or 25 by 40 feet).
2. Place the sprayer on a level surface and add water noting the final level of water in the spray tank.
3. Spray the marked area with a sufficient volume of water to provide uniform coverage. Refill the sprayer to the same level as before measuring the amount of water added. The measured water added to the sprayer is the volume needed to cover 1,000 square feet.
4. Determine the application rate (fl. oz./1,000 sq. ft.) for WEED IMPEDE™ from the Recommendations section of this label.
5. To each volume of water used as measured in step 3, add the amount of WEED IMPEDE™ as determined in step 4.
Example: If the sprayer uses 2 gallons of water to cover 1,000 square feet and the desired application rate of WEED IMPEDE™ is 3 fluid oz./1,000 square feet, then you would add 3 fluid ounces of WEED IMPEDE™ to every 2 gallons of water to be used."
