    When it is safe to let my kids play in treated the lawn after an application SpeedZone Lawn Weed Killer Concentrate?
    It was a spot treatment, and I put dye in so I can tell the kids to avoid blue areas. I see nothing on the label regarding this question. The only question and answer I found was in this thread.

    Q
    Is there a similar product to Speedzone?
    I live in NJ, unfortunately Speed Zone is not prohibited in our state. What is another comparable product , as I like all the active ingredients and there percentages that are in Speed Zone.

    Depending on the weeds you are targeting, you could use Fertilome Weed Free Zone for broadleaf weeds in NJ on most established turfgrasses. Weed Free Zone controls a wide range of broadleaf weeds and also works well in cooler temperatures; plus, it comes in several sizes. You also may want to consider Dismiss Herbicide for broadleaf weeds. Dismiss has almost no volatility and very low use rates, and it also targets sedges.

    Q
    Can I mix SpeedZone Lawn Weed Killer Concentrate with Tenacity in tank mix?
    A

    We would not recommend tank mixing the SpeedZone Lawn Weed Killer Concentrate and Tenacity if you are using as a post emergent, only if you are applying as a pre-emergent application. With Tenacity you are only spot treating weeds directly that are actively growing, you would not broadcast as you can with the Speedzone.  Also you are required to use a surfactant with Tenacity for post emergent applications and EW does not require.  You can use Speedzone Speedzone the same day as Tenacity Herbicide for more broadleaf weed control.  Just allow areas to dry between treatments.
