According to our Rep with Dow Agro, there is not any difference besides the package size and the coloring of the granule. The SnapShot 2.5 TG is a yellow color granule and comes in a 50lb bag. The Snapshot 2.5 DG is a brown color and comes in a 25lb bag. The application and active ingredients are both the same. They make the 2 different types due to some Turf Pros not wanting a yellow granule and prefer the brown granule
Snapshot DG Herbicide would be an excellent product to use in flower beds and container grown ornamentals. Be sure to check the product label to see if it is safe to use around the plants you have.
The 25 pound bag of Snapshot DG Herbicide will cover approxiamately ¼ of an acre.
Snapshot DG Herbicide shoudl be applied only with a drop or rotary-type speader designed specifically to apply granule herbicides and insecticides. You cannot apply it as a spray.
Snapshot DG Herbicide is safe to use in/around non edible vegetation including jasmine.
Snapshot DG isn’t labeld for use in lawns. This is for Landscape Ornamentals, Ground Covers, Field Ornamentals and Christmas tree farms. One 25 lb bag would cover 5,000 sqft.

Snapshot DG Herbicide can be applied after weeds are pulled but before the mulch is laid so it gets down in the soil to create the barrier. Be sure to water in after application as directed on the product label. If you apply after laying down mulch you would need to heavily water the area to get it down to the soil below the mulch.
The only way to control the oxalis is to either hand pick it out or spot spray with a round up type product like Roundup, being very careful to avoid any contact with desirable plants.
Using a pre-emergent to help prevent it coming up would be helpful as well. Snapshot is a good option for ornamental areas
We apologize that we couldn't provide you with a better solution.
Snapshot DG Herbicide will need to come into contact with the soil to be able to prevent weeds.
Snapshot DG Herbicide is pet safe if used as directed on the product label. Keep pets out of the treatment area during application, and once you have watered the product in and the area has completely dried, pets can safely re-enter the area typically after 4-6 hours..
Snapshot DG Herbicide is labeled for use around a variety of bamboo Nandina species. The label does not list Bird of Paradise or Strelitzia as a tested plant, so we recommend either avoiding using this around them or testing around a few plants before treating around all of them.
Snapshot DG Herbicide is not labeled for pre emergent control of creeping charlie (ground ivy) and unfortunately, there aren't any pre emergent herbicides on the market that are labeled to prevent it from germinating.
Tarping the soil as you are doing, and consistent post emergent treatments are what will lead to success and removal of it from the yard.
Please view our Creeping Charlie (Ground Ivy) Treatment Guide for more information.
Snapshot DG Herbicide has been discontinued by the manufacturer. The alternative is Snapshot 2.5 TG Herbicide which uses the same active ingredient and labeled for pre emergent control of broadleaf/grassy weeds in landscape beds, ornamentals, flowers, etc. This is safe for pachysandra and ornamental flower beds when applied at the product label rates.
Please review the full product label for more information.
Snapshot DG Herbicide is not labeled for use on turfgrass at all and would not be safe to apply. Ferti-lome with Gallery would be a better option depending on the target weeds. Anything with Dithiopyr is also great to use in the spring and there are granule options.
View our St. Augustine Lawn Guide for more information.

Snapshot DG Herbicide should not be applied to lawns and other areas with desired turfgrass as this is only labeled for ornamental beds, bushes, shrubs, flowers, etc. Mimosa pudica is similar to chamberbitter. Other than spot treating the weeds directly with a non selective glyphosate herbicide (Roundup), some 3 way herbicides have shown to be effective on mimosa.
Avenue South is safe for bermuda lawns and could be effective to eliminate mimosa pudica.
We would recommend contacting your County Extension Office for recommendations they have found to be successful in your area.
