Manufactured by Monterey, Spurge Power is a post-emergent, selective herbicide formulated with 3 active ingredients to kill broadleaf weeds in residential lawns quickly and easily.

Spurge Power can be used on both warm and cool season lawns to treat hard to kill weeds, such as spurge, dandelion, clover, and many more broadleaf weeds.

Spurge Power makes mixing solution simple by recommended two rates, where the higher rate can be used for tougher, established weeds or when lawns are completely dormant.

Tools Needed

To apply Spurge Power, you will need to use either a pump sprayer, hose end sprayer, backpack sprayer, or a spray rig for high volume applications. Applications will need to be made with between 2 and 5 gallons of water, so we recommend using a 4 gallon backpack sprayer.

How to Use

• Step 1: To mix Spurge Power, first measure the area to be treated to determine how much product you will need. Do this by measuring the area's length and width in feet, and then multiplying them together (length x width = square feet.) Spurge Power will need to be applied at a rate of 1 or 1.25 fluid ounces in 2 to 5 gallons of water per 1,000 square feet. For example, if you measured a 1,500 sq. ft. area, then you would need 1.5 or 1.88 fl oz. of Spurge Power with 3 to 7.5 gallons of water.
• Step 2: Fill your sprayer halfway with water to your spray tank. Add the proper amount of Spurge Power based on your calculations, and then fill your spray tank the rest of the way with water. Shake to ensure an even mix.
• Step 3: Apply Spurge Power over your lawn as a broadcast spray or as a spot treatment to targeted weeds. Use a low pressure and a coarse spray to ensure adequate coverage and minimize drift. For best results, you will want to delay mowing your lawn until 1 or 2 days after application.

Where to Use 

Monterey Spurge Power is meant for use on residential and ornamental lawns. It can be used on both cool and warm season grasses.

When to Use

Use Spurge Power when wind speeds are low to minimize drift and when rain is not in the immediate forecast. For best results, apply in early spring or early fall when weeds are actively growing and not yet established. Avoid application when temperatures exceed 80 degrees F to prevent accidental harm to turf.

Safety Information

Spurge Power is safe to use around children and pets when applied according to label directions. Always wear the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) when applying chemicals. Keep all people and pets off the treated areas until dry.

Special Considerations

When temperatures exceed 80 degrees F, damage may occur in Centipede or St. Augustine grass. If you are unsure about how your turf will handle application, spray a small test area and note any adverse changes over 30 days.
