For anybody who is familiar with this, any advice on when to put out my pre-emergent herbicide? I feel like I've typically heard February, but I looked at the weather forecast and it appears we are going to have unseasonably warm temperatures the next couple of weeks. I guess my question is, should I go ahead and put it out? I'm afraid that if I wait too long some of those spring weeds will start to come up with the temps being so warm. I live in Clinton by the way.

Buy this and it will last you forever. No you can wait to put it out. I usually put mine out the first or second week of March, depending on how hot it has been.

Thanks for the advice. I actually used that stuff in the Fall to prevent the winter weeds from coming up and it did a great job. I guess I was just concerned with how warm its going to be over the next few weeks. I didn't want to miss the window.

TREFLAN 4 EC is a selective herbicide for the preemergence control of annual grasses and broadleaf weeds. TREFLAN 4 EC may be applied in liquid sprays of water or liquid fertilizer, or impregnated on dry bulk fertilizer.

Virginia button weed and common lespedeza are the ones that kill me. I understand there is no pre emergent that will work with the button weed.

I don't have buttonweed, but I had bad crabgrass last year. I'm hoping I can prevent most of it from coming up with the Barricade pre-emergent, but I'm definitely investing in some of the Celsius for any that do decide to come up.

I think it can be used on all southern lawns, but it should tell you on the description somewhere. I have Bermuda and it works great.

Yes, Spectical is the Cadillac of pre emerges I love it and have used it wall to wall, 155 acres the last two years.

Yes we use it on our athletic fields, it works wonders. People shy away from it because of the cost, but it's a product that is worth its weight in gold!
