How quickly will weeds show results after applying Scotts Weed Control for Lawns?

Visible decline in weed growth often begins within days because the active ingredients work on contact and move to the root. Complete control may take a couple of weeks depending on weed type, weather and application thoroughness.

• Contact action starts the wilting process within days.
• Root uptake helps prevent regrowth over weeks.
• Results vary by species; tough perennials may need repeated monitoring.

When and how should I apply this granular weed killer?

Apply in spring or early fall when broadleaf weeds are actively growing and preferably when morning dew is present. Use a Scotts spreader for consistent coverage and follow the recommended no-wash period before watering the lawn.

• Best timing: spring or early fall during active weed growth.
