ENTIRE LAWN
PRESSURE SPRAYERS

HOSE-END SPRAYERS
"CONCENTRATE ONLY" (DIAL) SPRAYERS

- 2. Fill sprayer jar with enough concentrate to cover area to be treated. Do not add water to sprayer.
- 3. Set dial on sprayer to the setting from the chart below.
- 4. Attach sprayer to hose. Extend hose to the farthest area of lawn to be treated and work back toward faucet so that you do not walk over treated areas. Apply evenly to lawn.
EXAMPLE: To treat 1,000 sq ft of fescue lawn, add 4 fl oz of concentrate to the sprayer with sprayer dial set on 1 fl oz. Check the directions you received when you purchased your sprayer for further details on the proper use of your dial sprayer.

USE TIPS:
- • For best results, mow before treating weeds.
- • Do not treat when air temperatures exceed 85°F or damage to grass may occur.
- • Do not water within six hours after treatment. Poor weed control may result if rainfall occurs within six hours of application.
- • For new lawns, treat within 24 hours after seeding. On established lawns, wait three weeks after treatment before re-seeding. Once new grass has started to grow, wait until it has reached a height of two inches before treating. Treat as directed for newly sodded lawns if weeds are present.
- • Do not allow spray to get on vegetables or ornamental plants since injury may result. Do not spray around roots of trees and ornamentals. Clover will be damaged if sprayed.
- • Whether using a hose-end sprayer or pressure sprayer, avoid sprays that are too fine because they can drift and damage other plants.
- • If certain tough weeds are not dead within three weeks, repeat treatment. Broadcast application is not necessary; follow spot treatment directions.
- • Use of this product when air temperatures are below 60ºF may result in delayed appearance of weed control.
