Has anybody tried Spectracide Weed Stop 2x RTS? The one that attaches to your hose? Does it work?

It promises control of broadleaf weeds like clover and dandelion, (both of which are infesting my lawn) but I also need something that kills crabgrass. I also may have Creeping Charlie, but I'm not sure, since I hadn't heard of it before I used a weed-identifying program. Thanks, I appreciate any help and advice!!

Spectracide products promise a lot of things, but following their promises are usually asteriks******, make sure you turn the product over and search for what the asteriks indicate.





As far as products to use for your situation, this is what I have used in the past:





Broadleaf Weeds-Ortho Weed-B-Gon Max





Tough Weeds such as clover, creeping charlie(ground Ivy)- Ortho Weed-B-Gon for Chickweed, clover, oxalis(tough weeds)





Crabgrass- Ortho makes a Weed-B-Gon Plus Crabgrass control, which is new for 2007. This product will take care of over 250 weeds, plus crabgrass, now the only downside is that it is only available in ready to use formula, it is not yet produced in a hose end sprayer or concentrate. Ortho also make a pint concentrate of just crabgrass killer.





All of the above products I have used and they all do what they promise, unlike many other brands.





Good Luck in your weed killing adventure, it sounds like you have a battle in front of you!
Reply:yes it works! i use weed-b-gone but the one u got works just as well! for the crabgrass.. get weed-b-gone max w/ crabgrass control... they don't have it in the form of the bottle that attaches to ur hose yet so u'll have to manually spray it! good luck!
