We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Ortho GroundClear Year Long Vegetation Killer and appreciate your feedback.

Potentially the siphon tube and sprayer needs re-primed, place the container above the wand (either holding it above or setting it on something) and spray for 30 seconds. If the Wand begins to spray well at the end of 30 seconds you should be able to put the container down and continue spraying. If container has been used before, product may have crystallized in the sprayer tip preventing the product from spraying. Try to soak the sprayer tip ONLY in warm soapy water to dislodge any residue. You may need to re-prime the sprayer and siphon tube after unclogging the tip. If troubleshooting does not resolve the issue, please contact us for assistance.

    We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Ortho GroundClear Year Long Vegetation Killer and appreciate your feedback. Weeds will begin to show signs of wilting and yellowing within 1 hour of application under ideal conditions. A complete control may take up to 2 weeks. Weeds must be actively growing. For best results, temperatures should be consistently above 60 degrees. Night time temperatures below 40 will slow results. Fluctuating day time temperatures, where temperatures are frequently dropping below 60 degrees, will slow results. The label states that if weeds are taller than 6 inches, mow or cut down weeds and remove debris before treatment. This is because taller weeds are more difficult to kill and will prevent product from reaching the soil to provide the year long weed prevention. The weeds and ground should be wet after application. Allow product to soak into the ground. During drought weeds will slow their growth down. If the weeds are drought stressed watering them the day before will typically prompt them to start growing which means they will take in the herbicide which will then kill them. 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 866-324-9192 if we can further assist.

      Shake well before using
      Works well , HOWEVER the chemicals settle to the bottom of the container. The first mix of 24 OZ Ground clear and 1 Gal of water Did Not Kill the weeds on the ground and in the gravel driveway after 2 weeks When mixing the third batch i noticed a thick light green colored syrup like sedinent in the bottom of the container which I had used to measure 24 ounces . When shaking the Ground Clear container I did not hear liquids slushing around. I added water then shook well & emptied the jug into a clear plastic bottle. The liquid in the clear bottle was light green and thick like syrup. I then used that liquid & 2 gallons of water to make 2 batches I think that batch will do what Ground Clear is intended to do

        Overall disappointed in how product is working.
        Bought (2 gal. concentrate) last fall in case I needed it as I was using up the last of my generic Roundup. I didn't need it until this spring. I picked this product as it apparently lasts all season long and the 2 gallon "concentrate" should last for awhile. Wrong, the mix rate is 24 oz. to the gallon, hardly a concentrate as I would expect mush less per gallon, As others have mentioned, no mixing directions on package, had to find information online. As far as performance, after spraying over a week ago (gravel parking area) not much happening, a few droopy leaves on some of the weeds is the only indication I had sprayed something. Nowhere near the speed of kill that is advertised. Was the product supposed to be shaken in the container before measuring? That is something I didn't do, but then again with no directions how was I supposed to know if it was required? Overall, very disappointed in the performance of this product for the price I paid and how it is working.

          This did not work for me. It didn't really kill any weeds, and it smelt a lot. This was not a good and I am going to claim my money back.

          Not Concentrated Enough
          Very sneaky to not include mix instructions on the bottle or in the directions, so we can't read them in the store. Because this product requires a mix of TWENTY FOUR OUNCES PER GALLON of water. Other concentrates require only 4-8 ounces per gallon. So this 32 oz bottle won't even make 1.5 gallons to spray.

          We are concerned to hear this. We apologize for the issues finding the dilution rate for the Ortho GroundClear Year Long Vegetation Killer. All dilutions rates are listed on the label of the products. Please reach out to our Consumer Services team at 888-270-3714.
            Fantastic product
            This product will kill nearly everything. It may take some time, depending on what you are trying to eradicate. Grass and weeds it kills very easily with a single application, 24 hours. I have had success with product on several species of ivy as well. The ivy did need several applications per year and took a year or two. It has been 5+ years and still no signs of ivy. I have also used it on various, unknown, larger vegetation (bushes/shrubs) with success. like the ivy, that has been work in progress. I apply several times thoughout the year and, while it has taken 2-3 years, it is killing everything I spray.

              It doesn`t kill weeds. But if you want to kill a dog or fox and so on ,this is the product to buy ! My dog is gone.
