We have sprayed it with blindside several times and it keeps coming back. Any suggestions to kill this devil weed? Thanks.

Celsius has worked for me. It’s expensive but a little goes a long way.

Thank you. We are going to put blindside down one more time then hit it with celcius if it comes back.

I sprayed on August 1st and a second application this past Monday. That stuff is legit. Very expensive and took a while to see results but its killing everything.

Celsius will definitely knock it out but don’t expect an overnight kill. It is expensive but is the best I’ve found for VB

How long before you start seeing results?

Some broad leaves started dying in a few days but the grassy weeds take longer. I didn't really see anything happening to my crabgrass until after a week or so. Its a slow kill.

Expensive is an understatement, $105 for 10oz...

Is this correct?:
"A zone application is defined as a broadcast application made to a defined area (less than 10,000 sq ft per acre).
Add the specified product rate of 0.057-0.113 oz (1.6-3.2g) to 1 gallon water. One gallon of spray solution will treat
up to 1,000 sq ft."

The directions to use are not simple.

ETA: Does Celsius have a shelf life/ half life in a bottle? It appears 10 oz should last your average 1/4-1/2 suburban lot owner like 10 years with bi annual use right?

If you read the entire label it gets much more specific and makes it easier to understand. It comes with a measuring cup and list different types of weeds you may have in your yard. It lists 3 different rates from weak to stronger for the different weed types. I had lots of different weeds so I used the stronger rate. Using a 2 gallon sprayer it was the .226 measuring line on the cup.
It shows you different rates for different size sprayers.

Yes, if kept indoors out of the heat it will last you years with a regular suburban lot.

Ha I know but I was being lazy, the label is freaking HUGE! lol. Has like 150 different type of plants with specific amounts to kill them.

Most of them have something basic on the back of the bottle that's like "add one ounce to 1 gallon" lol. And then I make it a little hot.

Celsius or MSM Pards, trust me, just bought my 2nd bottle of msm 24 bucks, 1st lasted 3 yrs, little goes a real long way use a surfactant with it, buy some Blue dye so you can see where you sprayed just notice some in my front yard haven't seen it in 2 yrs. You should see results in a few days
