Customer Reviews for Snapshot 2.5 TG Herbicide - 50 lbs.

I have used Snapshot for the last 3 years on desert landscaping. I put it on my ground in October and March every year. I am surrounded by weed-filled yards, but mine NEVER has ANY weeds!! This is a great product.  For one hours effort every six months I don't have to fight the weeds. It may be a bit pricey but I am saving a fortune in what I used to spend on the liquid spray type weed control products, not to mention the time and annoyance. I highly recommend this product!

I used Preen 1st, it only prevents (I believe) 11 types of weeds, SnapShot prevents 110 (I believe) types of weeds, SnapShot Rocks !!! I use round-up, then weed whats ever left, then I lay down the Snapshot. It says it is good for 8 months I re-apply every 6 months (2 month over lap) I use a 1 quart (new) paint can (purchased at Lowes) with a few nail holes I put in the lid, for touch-ups. Kinda like a giant salt shaker. To the Paranoid reviewer,"I will buy your SnapShot. Please dont call Haz-Mat lol lol Hell on a bet I would sprinkle some of this on my food lol JUST KIDDING !! I have used SnapShot for over Five years, Nothing better. Please note you are creating and invisible barrier on your top soil, So if you dig or scratch the surface you will have to touch-up the disturbed soil to repair the damaged invisible weed barrier (this is how it was explained to me).(hence my salt shaker touch-up paint can idea) Email me you can have whats left of my preen for free, just pay shipping and handling (no kidding, I am NOT impressed with Preen)

Living in Ohio, we get our fair share of water and weeds. I use to have to weed my flower beds a few times a week. Two years ago I had professional landscapers put weed killer and mulch in all of my beds. That year I did not have to weed my beds, no not once! I called them to ask what they had used....Snapshot. I purchased this fabulas product, and have been using it ever since. Want to have a weed free flower bed with minimal effort? Buy Snapshot. This stuff WORKS!

I had been using Casoron for years. We spend our winters in AZ and weeds here are a big problem with the winds distributing the seeds all year. Casoron worked, but we always had a few weeds when we returned each year. I read about Snapshot on this web site and bought my first 50 lb bag three years ago. We have a large lot and our weeds are almost non-existent now. Just bought my second bag this year. It does not harm existing plants. The places we still get weeds are places where the rain water collects and apparently dilutes the product. But the weeds are minimal as I said.

This is my second purchase of this stuff. We used it last fall in all flower beds and almost no weeds this spring. This is a vast improvement over Preen. With it, the beds were covered with weeds each spring. My wife insisted I order more. She couldn't believe how effective it is. It is also much more economical than buying multiple small packages of Preen.

I found this product on line when searching for a product with longevity! This is it. We apply it twice a year prior to mulching the yard and the results have been excellent. It is true that it forms a protective barrier, so be sure your plants are where you want them, apply whatever fertilizers or soil ammenders you normally use, put down Snapshot and water in. Then mulch and be done! Easy with great results.

Realized after I received this, that it's supposed to be for flower beds, etc. Company was great and gave me an RMA right away. Will definitely do business with them in the future.

Not cheap but you use less product than with Preen and it is effective for a long time.

I bought this on February 25th 2013. Today is March 1, 2014. I have a 1/4 acre lot (~10,000 square feet) in Phoenix, AZ with desert landscape and a 2,300 square foot home. I have ~750 square feet of grass I don't pre-emerge. Used about 2/3rds of the 50 lb bag last year, and had excellent control up until a month or so ago. SUPER easy to apply with a handheld broadcast spreader - less than 1/2 hr to do the whole place. MUCH longer lasting than PREEN. Much EASIER than liquid Surflan in a hose-end sprayer. I'm here to buy more! This stuff is awesome and even controlled the Sweet Acacia tree pods (by the 100,000s or pods) and Foothills Palo Verde pods, which are not controlled at all by PREEN.

Snapshot was easy to apply to my nursery area to prevent weed from sprouting. This product should save me time and money in the care of the nursery ground.

This is our secret weapon used on commercial properties for our landscape company. Applied right time or sprayed with a non selective (roundup) prior will keep weeds out. Early spring here in NJ and another in mid August keeps beds virtually weed free. We use the Gordon's canister spreader and is most effective for spreading.

Snapshot was recommended in my adult ed landscaping class so I will try it this week on about 50% of my flower beds. It stops seed germination so need to apply about every 2 months and water it in. I will not use it in a food garden as chemicals like this are way too scary and side affects come out in 10 years. Do not breathe it or let it touch skin.

Our first order went seamlessly. We have an address that's not in the UPS national database and which therefore can cause delivery problems. Your customer service people spotted this, inquired about it and then provided UPS with appropriate instructions to insure delivery.

I have used this product for over 10 years. It is safer than any weed killers. I've been decreasing the number of times I apply from 3 to once in early spring.

I have desert landscape and needed something that would last all summer as I am a winter visitor and leave for the summer. I applied a weed killer to existing weeds and then applied snapshot. My brother checked on my house once a month, I always asked if he say any weeds, no weeds he say. I couldn't believe it. When I returned in Nov. no weeds or grass was growing in my landscape. It's now March and I am just now noticing a couple of weeds. This product lasted one year. Snapshot is expensive but when you compare to how long it last it's not.

We live in the desert. For years, my hubby has fought the weeds that blow into our yard. For the first time, I heard him highly compliment this product...a compliment is tuff to get. He says it has drastically decreased his work in pulling weeds and he's so much happier about his efforts in spreading this for the first time. We are back to get more and are greatly satisfied!!

6 Months of Testing: Results I'm pretty balanced, honest and fair when I give reviews, because 1 bad review can negatively affect a company and as a direct result their employees and their employees families, especially in todays social media world. I purchased this item with my own funds to try at my home. If I could give Snapshot a 10 star review I would x2. When I purchased this about 6 months ago, there were only a few reviews so I wasn't so sure if I should get it. Well, I took the risk got it and boy am I glad I did. I put it in one of my 1500sqft garden beds at my Virginia house (the bed gets weeds so bad, I was complicating just spraying professional herbicide on it and starting over). Well, after spreading Snapshot with a Scotts Wizz Hand Held Electric Spreader (1 full hoper for 1,00 sqft), in six months I have had 4 weeds. No, seriously, only 4 as in 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 4 weeds in 6 months, in a 1,500 sqft flower bed. I'm absolutely flabbergasted. Also, didn't hurt any of my established plants at or since 1st application and also didn't harm any new plantings. I just bought some for my Southern Florida house, which has extensive tropical gardens and tropical weeds... its like a jungle stuff grows year-around. I will update this review to reflect how it does in a tropical climate with tropical weeds. Ignore the Review: scary stuff if you have children or animals... seriously did they think this was seasoning for food or something? You don't eat it, you put it in flowerbeds. You wet the area and don't let your pets walk on it for 4 hours, then its safe. Do My Own should have a tutorial on how to read MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets), because its obvious they just didn't get it.

I couldn't believe how fast my order arrived--and I did a lot of research, this was listed at a great price with free shipping. Why drive to the store and waste your gas and time with this kind of deal available?

My landscaper uses this product, and this year I decided to do some of the work. I was pleased to find Snapshot, since it does a great job with weed prevention. Much better than Preen... The order process was simple, and it was delivered at my door in 1-2 days. The cost was less than Amazon or other places I looked, including free shipping. I recommend this product from DoMyOwn!

This stuff lasts at least twice as long as Preen, cut my weeding by 3/4 and I have a LOT of gardens! Plus their customer service is good and knowledgeable. I had a question last year about harvesting horseradish after accidentally using this - which is not supposed to be used on food plants. They knew exactly when it would be out of the soil.

As spring has come to the northern US I put down Snapshot down again to avail the crabgrass and dandelions primarily. My neighbor has a stellar crop of dandelions every year and the Snapshot does a good job of keeping them in his yard.

We have been using this product for years. Spreading it at the beginning of the spring season in the shrub beds is ideal. It certainly helped to cut down on the weeds and save time needed for spraying. Delivery was prompt.
