Scotts 5M WeedEx w/ Halts

Key Features

This product is fortified with effective benefits that make maintaining the lawn easier and much more reliable.

Effective Crabgrass Prevention

Crabgrass is one of the most invasive weeds that can spread rapidly and take over the lawn. Scotts WeedEX Prevent with Halts Preventer is made with Pendimethalin (1.71%), a well-known pre-emergent that does not allow crabgrass to grow. With only one application in the spring, this product controls weeds all season long.

Stops a Wide Range of Weeds

Weeds are not just an eyesore, they also compete with grass for food, water and light. This product not only blocks out crabgrass but also dragon grass, along with other stubborn invaders of the lawn:

• Foxtail
• Spurge
• Oxalis
• Goosegrass
• Annual bluegrass (Poa annua)

Weatherproof Protection

Spring weather can be unpredictable, but Scotts WeedEX is specially engineered to handle it. After watering in, the formula attaches itself to the soil and continues to work, even after heavy rain, snow and freezing. Homeowners can spread it early in the season without worrying that the elements will degrade its effectiveness.

Easy and Versatile Application

Convenience is king with lawn care. Scotts WeedEX can be utilized with any type of spreader including:

• Scotts® Broadcast Spreaders
• Scotts® Drop Spreaders
• Scotts® Handheld Spreaders
• Scotts® Wizz Spreaders

Safe for Most Lawn Types

It can be used on a wide variety of grass types. It is approved for use on established lawns of Kentucky Bluegrass, ryegrass, fescue, Bermudagrass, Zoysiagrass, Bahiagrass, and Centipedegrass.

Generous Coverage

Its 5M size that covers a 5,000-square-foot area makes it an ideal choice for suburban yards. Users typically only need 1 bag for the front and the back yard, so they do not need to make several purchases.

Professional-Grade Active Ingredient

At the heart of WeedEX is Pendimethalin, a time tested herbicide that's been helping turf professionals keep the weeds out for over 40 years. By inhibiting the cell division of weed seedlings, Pendimethalin ensures that weeds die before they ever have a chance to grow, giving the lawn a little breathing room to grow without the competition.

How It Works

Scotts WeedEX is best when applied properly at the correct time, and watering in immediately.

• Application Timing: To prevent crabgrass and other weed seeds from growing in the lawn, use Scotts WeedEX Prevent with Halts in early spring before they start to grow.
• Water Activation: Light watering activates the granules, making it possible for the weed-killing herbicide to seep into the soil where weed seeds are bound to start developing.
• Long-Lasting Protection: Once applied, the barrier will continue to protect throughout the growing season, with essentially only one application in the spring.

Benefits

Scotts WeedEX is unique because it saves time and delivers professional grade results in lawn care. Homeowners can rely on it since:

• It is a once a season application, eliminating the need for repeat treatments.
• Weatherproof and able to withstand extreme conditions.
• It suggests encouragement of healthy grass growth by eliminating weed competition.

Application Tips

For optimal results, users are encouraged to:

• Measure the size of the lawn to apply the appropriate amount.
• Apply according to the spreader setting recommendation on the bag.
• Do not use it before sowing new grass seed or laying grass sod, as the product prevents all seed germination.
• For winter weeds like Poa annua in some areas, consider an autumn application.

Environmental & Safety Information

When used as directed, Scotts WeedEX is safe for use around kids and pets, and it starts working as soon as the lawn has been watered and dried. It needs to be placed in a cool, dry area and it should be kept away from the feed and food. Like all herbicide application instructions, those on products must be strictly followed.
