Killing spring dandelions and clover in warm seasons.

Warm Weather Weed Killers

Once warmer weather becomes the norm, a traditional Step #2 Loveland Weed and Feed™ gives a good weed kill and helps fill in bare spots. Granular weed killers work their best on large leaved weeds. If you apply Loveland Weed and Feed™ when the lawn is damp with a morning or evening dew, your dandelions will be curling the next day. Damp leaf, warm night and no rain for 24-hours and Dandy Dandelion will curl up and die.

Speedzone

Rising from bare spots and showing their ugly heads during periods of summer lawn drought stress are dandelions, spurge, clover, and bind weed. All are perennial broadleaf weeds not controlled by Step #1 pre-emergent. When temperatures are warm and sticky, Speed Zone® will work the best. Uncle says make sure to use Gordon’s Spreader Sticker® to help the spray stick to the small waxy leaves.

Fall Application can also be effective for control on broadleaf weeds. Broadleaf weeds that germinate in October are easily controlled. Baby broadleaf weeds are actively storing food for the dormant winter season. An application of Trimec® or Speed Zone® will kill the plants down to the roots.
