Questions & Answers
My neighbour used this on his Bermuda grass and he has the best Bermuda grass on the street… how is this possible if it’s not designed for Bermuda grass?
Do I need to mow before application? If not then How long after application can I mow
Mow tall grass a day or two before the application of Scotts Turf Builder Bonus S Southern Weed & Feed2. Mowing can be done any time after the product has been watered in and allowed to dry. If applying in the spring, do not apply until the lawn is actively growing and been mowed at least 3 times.
Can I apply right after a raining day or should I wait till the next day or a few day after rain?
Hi and thanks for asking! Scotts Turf Builder Bonus S Southern Weed & Feed2 must be applied to a dry lawn, as it needs to be able to fall down to ground level. Then, water the product in IMMEDIATELY after the application (do not let it sit on the grass blades). Apply enough water to rinse granules off the grass blades and down into the soil (approximately 1/2 inch of water (30 minutes with your average sprinkler) or apply just before it rains and let the rain do the job). Be aware that if temperatures are above 80 degrees, damage can occur if the product is not immediately watered.
Is this product safe to use on lawns that have wild ducks present? Thank you.
Thank you for your recent inquiry with The Home Depot. When Scotts Turf Builder Bonus S Southern Weed & Feed2 is used according to label directions, it poses no unreasonable health risks to humans or animals. After the product has been watered in and the lawn is dry, it is safe for animals to re-enter the area. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you in the future.
When used according to directions Scotts Turf Builder Bonus S Southern Weed & Feed2 will not pose any unreasonable health risk to wildlife. We recommend applying this when the wildlife is least active.
Will too much rain wash it away?
We recommend 1/2 inch of rain or water after an application of Turf Builder Bonus S Southern Weed & Feed2. If you are expecting heavy rains we would recommend waiting until after the rain to apply this. Heavy rains can diminish the effectiveness. If you have any additional questions please contact us at 877-220-3089.
Is this product pet friendly?
Thank you for your recent inquiry with The Home Depot When Scotts Turf Builder Bonus S Southern Weed & Feed2 is used according to label directions, it poses no unreasonable health risks to humans or animals. After the product has been watered in and the lawn is dry, it is safe for pets to re-enter the area. However, some animals may chew on treated grass blades. While this shouldn't pose a risk if re-entry instructions are followed, it's always best to supervise pets in the treated area. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you in the future
Turf Builder Bonus S Southern Weed & Feed2 can reenter the lawn once it has been watered in and dried.
On the website picture it said to water immediately after application. On the bag it said water if no rain after 2-3 days. Do I water immediately or I don’t need to if the next day it rain after the application?
Hello. We apologize for any confusion. Scotts Turf Builder Bonus S Southern Weed & Feed2 must be watered in immediately after application. We suggest applying enough water to rinse the granules off the grass blades and down into the soil; which is approximately 1/2 inch of water or about 30 minutes with your average sprinkler. You can also apply it just before it rains.
Does Bonus S control Dichondra and Mexican Primrose?
Hello Bill. While Scotts Turf Builder Bonus S Southern Weed & Feed2 is registered to control Dichondra, it is not registered to control Mexican Primrose.

Customer review from Scotts
Customer review from ScottsCustomer review from ScottsCustomer review from ScottsCustomer review from Scottsand appreciate your feedback.
Scotts Turf Builder Bonus S Southern Weed & Feed2 only controls listed weeds. Temperatures must be consistently (several days in a row) between 60-90°F for target weeds to be actively growing. Low or high temperatures will delay weed control. It can take up to 3 weeks for the weeds to begin to yellow. This product does not prevent new weed development. It only kills weeds that were actively growing at the time of application. Product must be watered in to be effective. Excessive watering (rain) can drive the weed control into the soil and away from weed roots. Water lightly (¼ to ½ inch of water) right after use, to activate the weed control and feeding then cut back on watering. When temperatures are high (over 90°+) weeds slow their growth down and can not absorb the product. If weeds are not getting regular watering they can not absorb product.
We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee. If for any reason you, the consumer, are not satisfied with the results after using this product, you are entitled to get your money back. Limitations apply.
