Tools Needed

To apply Bonide Weed Beater Southern Lawns, you will need a hose-end sprayer. This ready-to-spray product arrives with an attached hose-end sprayer, allowing for easy connection to your garden hose and straightforward application.

How to Use

• Step 1: Attach the hose-end sprayer to your garden hose, ensuring a secure connection to prevent leaks.
• Step 2: Turn on the water supply to the hose, allowing the sprayer to fill with the herbicide solution.
• Step 3: Walk at a steady pace across your lawn, spraying the solution evenly over the affected areas. Ensure thorough coverage of the weeds, but avoid excessive application to prevent runoff.
• Step 4: After application, allow the solution to dry on the lawn. The product is rainfast once dry, meaning it will remain effective even if it rains shortly after application.
• Step 5: Monitor the treated areas over the following days. Visible signs of leaf curl on the weeds should appear within a few days, indicating effective control. For optimal results, avoid mowing the lawn for at least 7 days after application to allow the herbicide to be absorbed by the weeds.

Where to Use
