Customer Reviews for Tenacity Herbicide

I decided to buy this as my Niblewill problem had gotten so out of control I would have had to replant half my lawn. Mixed according to directions and I'm watching the darn pest turn white. Also working on my clover, crab grass, and other broad leaf weeds. Used a 2 gallon tank sprayer to apply. So far so good.

A unique set of features sets this herbicide apart from others. Tenacity is both pre-emergent and post emergent, it works on both grass and broadleaf weeds, and it won't affect grass seed germination. Excellent product when used on a newly seeded turf to prevent weed competition.

I have used this for several seasons now. It kills the Bent Grass that comes in from the gold course I back up to. One teaspoon per gallon does it, so it lasts a long time. Doesn't harm the other grasses. Do My Own Pest Control is easy to work with. Fast delivery.

Product appears to be a little pricy; however, the dosage amount needed makes it cheaper than products from the box stores and this product works better. The only draw back on this product is you have to be patient to start seeing results which I've experienced is about a week.

Bentgrass began turning white and Nutgrass brown a week after the first application. Read the directions for applying, must be water in after applying. Costly, but for the small amount you mix with water an 8oz bottle will last a long time.

Tenacity did it's job for my lawn. I put down 2 applications and I am going to spot treat a few spots that I want to make sure my bent grass is gone. The grass is already growing in the areas where the bent grass has died, and my lawn only look bad for about 4 weeks. It now is the best looking on my block and is thick and dark green. I also sprayed it on my neighbor's crabgrass along the edge's were are yards meet, and it killed it in 2 weeks and is gone. Amazing stuff. I have not seen one weed in my yard since putting this tenacity on. Now I have areal big challenge coming up with my brothers yard going to use it on his, that will really tell me how well it kills weeds and other grasses.

I applied this a week ago to creeping bent-grass and an occasional clump of crabgrass. As promised, the grasses are turning white. I'm sorely tempted to reapply after a week but will wait one more for the second application. And for those who note how expensive this is, it's a dollar an application for 2 gallons of spray ... compare that with other herbicides.. and it's low toxicity makes it a winner...

I used this product 4 weeks ago to some of my problem areas as far as crabgrass, creeping charlie and nutgrass. It did the job! Make sure you follow the directions as far as the 1 teaspoon per two gallons though. My first batch I did not measure and it took awhile for the grass to bounce back. Definitely turns the weeds white but don't worry it bounces back.

I just put down my second application and so far I am very impressed. I'm putting it down with a 2 gal. tank sprayer. It has "done a number" on my bent grass and that is what I was primarily after. As a bonus, it is also wiping out my wild violets. I have been trying to kill those for about 10 years. I'm anxious to see what things look like in the spring. Has this really eliminated the patches of bent grass (and violets) or are they coming back in the spring?!?

I purchased an 8 oz bottle of Tenacity to control the nimblewill that is beginning to take over my yard. I applied it according to instructions, and it has begun to show results after about i week.

I've used Tenacity for a couple of years. It's a good product. Very safe and easy to use. Best of all, it works on Bermuda grass and Nutsedge without damaging the regular grass. It can also be used in conjunction with overseeding or new seeding. For larger areas, I use Trimec since it is less costly per gallon, but for spot spraying and Bermuda, Tenacity is the most effective. Too, the price from domyownpest.com was the best I found.

This is a product I have been looking for to control my poa annua and creeping bentgrass. After I treated it took awhile, but sure enough my weeds stared turning a whitish color. It took a couple weeks to start seeing results so you have to be patient. I have just applied a second treatment and can't wait for next spring to see final results.

This product has done a great job of knocking down some very tough weeds in my Kentucky Bluegrass turf. Waiting to see how the residual controls as a pre-emergent as the weather warms up.

Tenacity is excellent stuff! While most standard herbicides at the big box stores will take care of the easier to kill weeds Tenacity will get rid of the tougher ones. It really did a number on poa annua and crabgrass in my lawn with no permanent damage to the turf. I did get a little bleaching in my tall fescue but the color came back and all is well. Don't expect overnight results. Tenacity takes nearly 2 weeks to show visible results. Haven't used it as a pre-emergent yet but plan to this fall during my overseed.

After trying numerous products to rid my lawn of creeping bentgrass I discovered Tenacity online and decided to give it a try. Within a few days the very invasive grass turned bright white and eventually started to die. I couldn't be happier. It's a little pricey, but a little goes a long way.

Just as others have described, the bentgrass begins to turn white in a week to 10 days, then dies off. The surrounding bluegrass is unaffected. This is my first application and I see a few places that were missed so will go over it again. It was mid-August when applied. Previous applications of "round-up" did not result in satisfactory control because the bentgrass always came back up from over the winter. Hopefully the Tenacity takes care of it. It's good that I have enough left to do another application in the spring.

2 applications at 2 weeks apart - CRABGRASS DEAD! I used half bottle for my front lawn - about 100 x 100 feet (along with Turbo surfactant) in a hose sprayer. This stuff is darn good - grass (mix of blue, fescue and rye) all good - just the crabgrass and other weeds. Worked better than Trimec - which did not seem to do much at all. The crabgrass first turned white - and now is starting to die out and getting brown. I will now rake or pull out the crabgrass stubs to make room for new grass seeds in Sep. Very pleased.

I have treated Nimble Will and some broad leaf only once. The areas I treated have turned brown after being white and looks like it did the job! I still have a lot more area to do and hope to get rid of all the undesirables in our lawn. Thank you, Jim

I have an infestation of Nimblewill in my bluegrass besides various other species of grassy weeds and other typical annoying weeds (plantian, clover, wild violet, purslane). The local very popular garden expert suggested Tenacity. ONE little teaspoon of Tenacity plus 3 teaspoons of surfacant in 2 gallons of water in a pump sprayer, in one week ALL my test patches on the existing weeds and grasses show they are definitely dying, but NOT the blue grass! I may not need to do the second application, but even so if I have to, it's well worth it.

I am so impressed with the product so far that I felt compelled to submit a review. I was skeptical about the low dose rate of this herbicide, but it's viscous content went very far. I used it in my tow-behind sprayer (15gal) with nozzle manifold to treat about 15,000 sqft. It has been about 14 days and my crabgrass-infested yard is very white with some of the crabgrass starting to die off. This has really illuminated the weeds in my yard because they all turn white. Second application to be made in about a week, which will hopefully kill off the crabgrass for good

Crabgrass was rampant in my backyard. Sprayed once using a tank sprayer and surfactant as directed and virtually all of the crabgrass is now dead. Great product! Also appears to be working on what I call "wire grass", not sure of the technical name but it's weedy and grows low and wide like a rope or wire.

It took a while, but the grass and other weeds are all white/dying. I used three teaspoons of "Dawn Ultra" & one teaspoon of Tenacity to two gallons of water, per a study by Ohio State University.

Worked beautifully to remove all forms of weed grass including bent grass and poa trivialis. Now I only have Rye grass left and the lawn is so beautiful people have asked if I just laid new turf! Would recommend this hands down, just be patient, it doesn't kill overnight and you do need to remove the dead weed grasses afterwards. Best to rake out the dead weed grasses once it has thoroughly killed them off before reseeding. The syringe is the only problem with the product, it binds up immediately. Toss it and measure out the liquid with a measuring spoon instead.

Works like a charm. If applied according to the label, it goes a long way. The syringe measure that comes with the bottle is bulky and wasteful (good for company who makes and sells the herbicide, bad for the paying consumer). Invest in a cheap single pan balance (mine cost $15 from Amazon. 0.01 gm accuracy) and weigh the herbicide. It is easy and assures exact amount/s. Colorant is also a must. Highly recommended. Will definitely buy again.

I've been using this on my maintenance jobs and it seems to be taking out Bent and other weed grasses. But be aware that you might kill more than you expected. I found that some of my lawns were over half bent grass and now I have some pretty damaged looking lawns. May have to reseed. It turns the dying plants a brilliant white color so may be a little shocking to customers.

I had nimblewill spreading across my yard at a rapid pace. Spot treating with Tenacity took care of the problem. It does take a while for it to work, so be patient. But it does work and won't kill other grasses!!! It destroys everything else you don't want in your yard, too. Great stuff.

Sprayed Tenacity on crabgrass and torpedo grass in centipede with very good results. After 4 days unwanted grass started turning white, 10 days later weeds were turning brown. If you have grassy weeds that cant'd be grubbed out of centipede this is the product you need.

My Centipede lawn in North Carolina had a lot of die-off over the cold and wet winter. Crabgrass filled in the bare spots. One treatment with Tenacity (and Dawn detergent as a surficant) and the crabgrass turned white - as advertised. I'll hit it again, which I'm sure will kill the crabgrass and allow my Centipede to overgrow the bare spots over the remaining summer weeks. Tenacity is expensive, but really works! A little goes a long way.

Worked as advertised. 10 to 14 days after 1st application my Nimblewill turned white (kinda neat as you can see it working from across the yard). I have applied a 2nd application to make sure I got it all as this weed grass takes over, growing densely in areas where its gotten a foothold in my lawn. I used a surfactant (Hi-Yield Spreader Sticker) per label instructions. The syringe that came with the product is great. You don't want to waste a drop of this stuff. It's very effective but not cheap.
