I feel like I have tried everything for weeds and nothing is killing them. I even hired a company called Dr Lawn to service it for several months.

Does anyone on here have secrets to killing weeds without killing my dog?

Bioadvanced season long killer and preventer for southern lawns. has the same ingredient as Specticle. I have zero weeds now after using it a few months ago.

Warm water with several drops of soap. Spray on anything you want to kill then sprinkle baking liberally on top. It will kill anything, including things you don't want it too. Best for spot treating weeds.

It's cheap and safe for dogs as long as they don't eat large quantities. Get the box/bag from Sam's. It also works within hours.

What kind of weeds (post photos) and what herbicides have you used?

The secret to killing- preventing- mitigating weeds is to first identify to the weed(s), and second tell the board what type of lawn grass you have, and then the board can provide you with lawn management recommendations including appropriate herbicides to use to kill-control the weeds you have - and none will kill your dog.

I’m sorry, it ain’t rocket science…it really isn’t….. ……..but lawn weed control does require patience and persistence…

I've always mixed and sprayed Ortho weed killer for lawns as a post emergent. Whatever you use read the temperature directions and use accordingly. A lot of people wonder why they don't get results but use when too cold or too hot.

This because some of the Scott’s type bag products and other liquid types are not made for Bermuda and if you have some Bermuda it will kill it. Trust me, I know from experience. Read everything in the label.
