Start the spring season off right with Scotts Turf Builder Halts Crabgrass Preventer with Lawn Food. This pre-emergent weed killer plus fertilizer stops crabgrass before it invades and protects all season long. It also prevents other listed grassy and broadleaf weeds, including barnyard grass, foxtail, poa annua, chickweed, and oxalis. The added fertilizer feeds for a fast green-up after winter and helps build strong, deep grass roots. Apply Scotts Turf Builder Halts Crabgrass Preventer with Lawn Food in early spring (prior to 3rd or 4th mowing) when your lawn is dry and before temperatures are regularly in the 80s. For best results, the lawn should receive ¼ to ½ inch of water from rainfall or watering within 2-3 days after application. We recommend using a Scotts spreader to apply this product. For Scotts broadcast/rotary spreaders, use a setting of 3. For Scotts drop spreaders, use a setting of 6. Do NOT apply to Dichondra and Bentgrass. This product controls crabgrass in its early stages of growth. It does not control mature crabgrass and other existing weeds. One 13.35 lb. bag of Scotts Turf Builder Halts Crabgrass Preventer with Lawn Food covers 5,000 sq. ft.

We recommend to apply Scotts Turf Builder Halts Crabgrass Preventer with Lawn Food when temperatures are consistently between 70°F and 80°F.
Pendimethalin 1.29% is the active ingredient in Scots Turf Builder With Halts.
Application timing will vary by region. For prevention of crabgrass and other listed spring germinating weeds, we recommend applying Scotts® Turf Builder® Halts® Crabgrass Preventer with Lawn Food in early spring. Apply before temperatures are consistently in the 80's usually after the 1st mowing and before the 3rd or 4th mowing of the grass. If there have been 4 consecutive days with temperatures 80 degrees or above, then it is typically too late to apply as the crabgrass has already germinated. If the lawn has not mowed at least once, then it is too early to apply. For prevention of moss, annual bluegrass, and other listed winter annuals apply in early-fall. Apply before temperatures are consistently below 70°F
Fred, pets such as cats and dogs should be removed from the area before applying Scotts Turf Builder with Halts. Once the product has been watered in and the lawn allowed to dry, then your pets can be allowed on the lawn.
