    Q
    I was reading reviews for SpeedZone and I noticed most questions are from central to northern states. Is this product safe to use in the south?
    A

    SpeedZone Lawn Weed Killer Concentrate technically can be used in any state as long as it is not restricted there.  It is labeled mainly for cool-season grasses, which you would typically find in the northern states, but it can also be used on Bermuda and zoysia grasses, which are typically found in the south.

    Q
    Is SpeedZone Lawn Weed Killer also a fertilizer?
    If not when can I apply fertilizer?
    A

    Speedzone is a post-emergent herbicide only: it does not contain any fertilizer. You can apply fertilizer as needed since it should not interfere with your herbicide application. Just be sure you do not mow within 2 days of an application of Speedzone.

    Q
    What is the best surfactant to use with "Speed Zone" herbicide?

    Q
    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. Saying, for pets, it was safe once the product is completely dry. Once again should I treat my kids like pets or do some other rules apply.

    It is safe for people and pets to return to treated areas once SpeedZone Lawn Weed Killer Concentrate has completely dried.

    Q
    Will spraying the weeds with SpeedZone Lawn Weed Killer Concentrate damage my roses or shrubs?
    I would plan to minimize over spray and just target the weeds individually. I have an area of drift roses that didn't winter very well and are inundated with weeds.
    A

    SpeedZone Lawn Weed Killer Concentrate is reasonably safe around trees and shrubs. However, you should be careful not to get any overspray onto any desirable plants. trees, or shrubs. If you are treating your lawn that is close to desirables then it would be recommended to use a shield of sorts to prevent drift from getting on your desirables.
