          We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts Halts Crabgrass & Grassy Weed Preventer and appreciate your feedback. Scotts Halts Crabgrass & Grassy Weed Preventer prevents crabgrass and a few other grassy weeds. It does not kill mature crabgrass or other existing weeds. It does not prevent dandelions or other broadleaf weeds. Timing of application is important. Product should be applied in early Spring before the 3rd or 4th mowing, before temperatures are regularly in the 80's, and before dandelions reach white "puffball" stage. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee to our consumers. At your earliest convenience, please reach out to us at 888-270-3714 if we can further assist.
            Very dissapointed
            Bought and applied in Mid-April 2024 in Minnesota. Looked up application charts, and followed the weather to see when was the ideal time, and applied according to directions. Crabgrass is the worse I have seen and taking over lawn. Thought by buying brand name product and spending more I would get better results.

            We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts Halts Crabgrass & Grassy Weed Preventer and appreciate your feedback. This product does not affect existing weeds. Timing of application is important, should be applied in early Spring before the 3rd or 4th mowing, before temperatures are regularly in the 80's, and before dandelions reach white "puffball" stage.

              Not effective.
              Third year of using this product. It has not eliminated or reduced the crabgrass

                Made my weeds worse!
                I put down 2 bags on 8,000 sq ft of Bermuda and St. Augustine in September, and have more POA, chickweed, and crabgrass now (March) than I’ve ever had before. It’s almost like it contained seeds for the weeds.

                  Great Product
                  Product performed excactly as it claimed it would. Crabgrass and Goosegrass was my worst enemy and now it almost eliminated all of it.

                    It works great if used routinely
                    Ive been using this product 4yrs plus. I used to have a POA Annua infestation every year prior to that until I found this pre-emergent. Its not a miracle preemergent, but with routine use and manually pulling the poa that does manage to sprout, I reduced the infestation at least 99%. Now I can count on my hand the number of POA that sprout every year, its very minimal. I think it does a great job if used on a regular basis and given time to work.

                      My accidental experiment
                      I used this product and it didn't seem to work. However, I had an interesting incident with it. While using my spreader on a hill, it tipped briefly and spilled a decent chunk of material on the lawn. I scraped up what I could, but over time, what was left washed down the hill. Where the bulk of the product fell, the grass died. I wasn't surprised at that. But the picture shows what happened with the product that washed down the hill. The grass is green and weed free. Beautiful. The first pic is from about 8 weeks ago, second pic is today. What I conclude is, though applied according to directions, the application was not heavy enough. That's Scott's fault. My concern is that the directions "stretch" the application area beyond what is realistic to make the price seem more favorable? I'll use again next year, but at heavier rates.
