Customer Reviews for Tenacity Herbicide

After much research and reading reviews I finally decided to try the more professional product( tenacity) instead of the big box store products. All I can say is I wish I would have used it sooner instead of wasting time and money with the other products. After two weeks crab grass and other weeds are just about completely dead. I was aware of the white appearance once the product began to kill the weeds but I didn't realize until then that I had more weeds than I was seeing initially. I have made two applications and loving the results so far. This is definitely my go to weed control product from now on.

This product definitely works. The Tenacity is pretty thick so you really need to get it mixed in. First couple days I didn't see anything but then the clover and other weeds started showing up yellow then white. I didn't have a flat tipped spray head, I would 100% recommend that. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that blue dye is a PITA. If you are spraying along edges of your lawn that have concrete I would recommend doing those areas BEFORE adding the dye. I was extremely careful but still had a few areas of overspray which I had to scrub off with a brush. The dye came off where the concrete was sealed but the other areas have lingering light blue stains now. Cleanup is a bit of a pain also. If you have a fairly square lawn and can easily keep track of where you've sprayed I would not get the dye.

Heard about this product on YouTube. We bought a neglected 4-acre property, and in the past 4 years, we had tried every product that we knew about, and never saw the results we wanted. Until, Tenacity herbicide!! This stuff is great and does what it says it will do. A little goes a long way, so don't be put off by the price for a "little bottle." It is super-concentrated. Because our property was so neglected for years, we simply repeated applications approximately every 6 weeks or so. And it WILL kill everything, so be careful around any trees/shrubs/flowers. Great stuff!

I can't really rate this product by itself. The reason being is that I used this product in combination with Drive XLR8 and Bonide brush killer to nuke my yard this fall as a post emergent treatment. The reason I chose this product in my mix was because it covered the broadleaf weed category, and it did the job well. And The trio of product so far has done a great job. All the weed are dead in my yard, and the remaining grass is still healthy and ready to reclaim the lawn.

This is my second order. Used the first bottle last year during the summer, and it worked, turning weeds white. Going to use again next spring, hoping for better result

The cool weather and two-three weeks of leave alone time cultivated a good batch of grass in the stead of weeds, I'm very happy with the results

My entire yard turned white and or died from the tenacity application. I followed the directions perfectly, and watched tons of yard care videos on top of that. Very disappointed at the ugly and disastrous results. I did read that the grass that turned white might recover but it looks pretty dead to me. Oh well. I tried.

I bought the Tenacity Herbicide along with the Spreader Sticker and the Dye. Instructs are clear and with the included syringe it was easy to mix and spray with my Husqvarna 4-Gallon Backpack Sprayer. The first application did have no effect at all. Further applications killed some of the weeds, but did not get rid of the broad leaf grass. In fact, after all the grass turned white, the crab grass was the first to recover. After another application, I have spots where nothing but broad leaf grass remains. I am awarding 2 points because it kills some weed. But there are a lot of cheaper alternatives out there in the market. For the purpose that I bought this, it did not work at all.

I love what it's doing to my weeds. I see the results as explained in the various videos I watched on the product and will obviously be purchasing these product in the future when I run out.

Potent, Handle with Care. Read ALL instructions in ADVANCE. Like medical prescriptions, 'how much to use' is buried very deep within instructions. I would like this information highlighted and easy to find. Wear protective and double-protective clothing. Beyond spot weeds, recommend a (power) battery operated sprayer. Your back will thank me. Results were positive for a home lawn of an acre. Will reapply selectively about 3 months after initial application. Unaffected weeds will be addressed with a different herbicide. Lawn unaffected. Be careful, be prepared, go for it. DMO-easy and helpful.

I struggled recently with growing weeds taking over my front lawn. Living in South Carolina, deer walk thru our yards at night and leave dropping containing seeds from the weeds i've come to find in my yard. Three videos later from my research lead me to be most interestes in this product. Lawn care professionals in my area use this on the golf courses and neighboring property lines.

This product did not kill the dandelions in my lawn. I'm reasonably sure I applied it correctly according to the directions.

Followed instructions to the "T". Applied to clover as described. Nothing happened. My St. Augustine grass turned colors but that's about it. I believe the clover called over its friends and had a party. The surfactant and dye worked but the Tenacity not so much.

Worked great...so far. Dgrass vanished after 2 applications BUT also took out some of the lawn. Apparently some grasses are effected.

Ordering and receiving the pkg was good as usual but after reading about it again so I would use it properly I found that a lot of the people who have purchased and used it are not happy with the results, wish I would have bought something else as it is expensive.

This herbicide takes a week or two to work, but works as advertised. I used this to spot treat crabgrass and dandelions in the spring. In a little over a week they have turned bright white without affecting the surrounding grass. Although not labeled, I also tried it on broadleaf plantain in newly seeded areas and it worked.

I recently applied tenacity to my lawn after mixing the ingredients according to instructions. After several days I mowed my grass and under the top growth it has turned white. I am very nervous as to how this may turn out.

I loaded up a field king backpack sprayer with tenacity, surfactant, and dye as directed. You definitely need to die or you have no idea where you sprayed. One pass did a lot of damage to the crab grass, even pretty established plants, with no damage to the lawn. I'm very pleased with it.

Spent the $ sprayed the weeds, twice, and the clover just laughed and mocked me. After two applications the clover had leaves showing some damage from the application, but overall they just carried on spreading here there and everywhere. Very disappointed in the product!

I've always used tenacity on my bermuda grass, especially when spot treating for weeds. Haven't had any issues.

First off, this stuff works. But it works like glyphosate works. My cool season lawn was becoming overrun by wild violet and some poa patches. The wild violet was out of control and extremely difficult to pull since there's a huge fat root below the scrawny leaves. You get the leaves and flowers, but the root stays. After a while I tried spot application with tenacity. The weather was mid-spring cool, daytime highs in the mid 60's. About 5 days after application everything that was touched by the product began to bleach, even the bluegrass and fescue in my lawn. It made the lawn look hideous. I had to resort to paint to hide the damage a bit. It did indeed kill the wild violet, but it also killed the grass. I tried lowering the application rates and in that case the violet and grass both bleached but neither of the two died. After a few weeks it looked like nothing had been done. So I'm at my wits end with tenacity. It's expensive and so far has done nothing but what I could've accomplished with glyphosate. From what I've uncovered in research it appears that even if tenacity does work killing weeds, it will at a minimum bleach your grass for a few weeks, which hopefully will regrow. That's how it's supposed to work. I didn't expect that. So if you apply this expect your lawn to look hideous for a few weeks but hopefully able to recover minus the weeds.

So far, so good using this to Kill and stop bentragrass that has made its way into my yard. Seems to take about 2 to 3 weeks but then the bent grass seems to start turning white and dying off doesn't seem to hash on the surrounding grasswant to keep.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
