Japanese stilt grass no more
By Debbie on 07/22/2022
The Poconos in Pennsylvania is overrun with the extremely invasive Japanese stilt grass. You don't want to use Round Up because that kills everything. I'm successfully using this combination of Acclaim, surfactant and dye to little by little eliminate the stilt grass without hurting any of my native plants. I'm so glad they developed something target specific.

Selling Old Stock
By Jeff on 09/25/2020
Bought this product and noticed the manufacture date was 2 years ago! Shelf life on this product says 3-5 years so if you have a big yard and will use it all in one application you probably will be ok. It's an expensive herbicide and I was hoping it would last several years for my small yard.

This stuff really works on Japanese Stiltgrass
By Gregg on 09/25/2020
I have tried many herbicides that I have had good luck with in the past on all types of weeds but nothing works like Acclaim Extra on Japanese Stiltgrass. One application at 8oz per 25 gallon tank sprayer across 1 acre and 2 weeks later the stuff in turning brown.

Disappointing
By Joe on 06/19/2020
Applied as stated and see very little results. Don't waist your time with this product there are other out there that I've seen produce more effective results. I'm disappointed and wish I had never spend time and money on Acclaim.

Kills Stilt Grass without Killing All the Good Stuff
By Deborah on 05/22/2020
I've been spraying invasive stilt grass in a forest for more than a year with Roundup and it kills not only the stilt grass but everything else. I stumbled upon this, which only kills grasses and not the woody plants. So far it looks like it is killing off only the bad stuff and I'm thrilled about that. I hated the destruction Roundup left. Bayer's customer support was really helpful too in determining that I could use it in my forest and how much to use.

Fenoxaprop effective against Japanese Stiltgrass
By Mark on 08/20/2019
Fenoxaprop (active ingredient in this herbicide) was recommended by Rutgers Ag. Extension. It killed the Japanese Stiltgrass and some of the crabgrass in my lawn (it took a while to actually brown up). The product was shipped promptly after my order.

ACCLAIM is killing my Japanese Stiltgrass!

Acclaim Extra for Japanese Stiltgrass
By Alex on 07/31/2017
Took two weeks to see results
By Steve on 08/12/2022
Works extremely well
By Harvey on 09/02/2022
Lawn was more than half stiltgrass early August. It was everywhere. Very discouraged. Applied this product as directed, with surfactant and dye. Was careful to make sure I got off of them coated, applied on a windless day. Took about a week for them to show signs of stress, maybe 3 weeks for all of them to die. The dead stiltgrass left a very thick, woody growth behind which I was able to mostly rake out. Not sure this step was needed, but it was ugly, and everywhere. Over seeded last week in August, and now it's the first week of September and there is virtually no living stiltgrass in the lawn, and the new shoots are filling in. This product is very expensive, but I don't think there's an alternative other than pulling them all out manually. This is a crazy invasive. Didn't realize what it was until way too late. I think it's been in my lawn for years. Hopefully, a pre emergent next spring will keep the seed bank down.
Waste of money Acclaim
By Howardmcooper on 08/11/2023
Very disappointed. Hardly touched the crabgrass and Japanese Stilt grass. Hose end Bioadvanced Extreme Crabgrass killer did a much better job at one fifth the money. Waste of over $100!
Expert response:
Acclaim Extra should do a great job on large and smooth crabgrass as well as stiltgrass when used as directed on the label. Young, actively growing grassy weeds are more easily controlled than larger grass weeds which may require repeat treatments.
Japanese Stiltgrass
By Christian on 08/25/2023
Used this to get rid of Japanese Stiltgrass. Hard to get many common weed killers in my state but more than happy with this product. Mixed in some dye and surfactant and shook it up very well. Reading the label it says you can even seed a a few cool season grasses right after spraying. Wish I tried getting rid of the Japanese stiltgrass before it spread as much as it did but here we are. Planning on a pre emergent in early spring.
Great for Invasive Japanese Stiltgrass
By Dennis on 09/17/2023
Our neighborhood is being overrun by Stlitgrass. It looks pretty but it outcompetes everything else in shady environments. This is the only product I know that selectively removes Stlitgrass from lawns, and it works very well. It also works on some other tuff weeds and on crabgrass and goosegrass.
Order early; timing is critical
By John on 09/17/2023
This expensive liquid is reportedly the only selective herbicide effective for Japanese Stiltgrass. Timing matters, as this is commonly applied in the last weeks before seed production. Unfortately my 1st DMO order was a no-show. Fedex stopped the shipment, likely because of product leaking through the carton. To its credit, DMO customer care was great, and they sent a replacement. The replacement arrived with all bottles loose in a box. The Acclaim bottles were robust, but an accompanying bottle of spreader/sticker had leaked significantly. Ultimately, the delivery delay meant my application of Acclaim was held up most of a month. It will have been sprayed too late to have full impact in some areas. Conclusion: If you buy online, order early. Don't get spreader/sticker or other inexpensive liquid products online, as bottles may be too flimsy for shipping. DMO is a good supplier, but they should pack liquid products more carefully, and use plastic bags to avoid leaking through cartons.
Japanese Stiltgrass
By Christian on 09/08/2023
Did a great job on killing off the Japanese Stiltgrass that was slowly taking over my yard the past few years. Wish I got ahead of it sooner. Mixed it with some dye and surfactant. It is slightly harder to mix up than something like 24D so I used an old 1 gallon liquid fertilizer bottle to pre shake it up.
Over priced

works as advertised for stilt grass

Worked for me on Japanese stiltgrass
By B on 08/30/2019
I purchased this for Japanese stiltgrass spreading quickly through my cool season grass. I applied with a non-ionic surfactant at the maximum dose rate with a tank spot sprayer. It took about 2 weeks for the stiltgrass to brown and die. I also spot sprayed some crabgrass which also died in about the same time frame.
Works great

Acclaim may work
By Terry on 07/12/2019
I bought this very expensive product to kill patches of wiregrass in my front lawn, on the recommendation of a friend. I diluted it according to the directions (I wish they sold it in a smaller, less expensive quantity - I only needed 1.5 ounces), and applied it liberally to the patches. After 10 days, I observed little or no effect, so I mixed up some RoundUp and killed everything in sight. When I described the failure to my friend, he informed me that I needed to make three separate applications, separated by 15 days. I found no mention of this process in the directions. Sure wish I could get a refund...

Acclaim
By Larry on 07/05/2019
So glad this is available online
By Brian on 08/08/2017
I spent $100 and 1 hour applying this. The lawn company said I needed 3 applications X $700 each = $2,100. Glad they can't hold me hostage anymore now that this is available online. Only problem was I used too low of a concentration on DialNSpray. I used 1Oz setting with half Acclaim and half surfactant. I'll try 3 Oz next week.
Best Price

Didn't work for me
By Leslie on 09/27/2012
Verified Purchase
Tried this herbicide because it says it will kill many weed grasses in lawn. I have purpletop tridens invading my yard. I was hoping that this herbicide would kill it but it didn't do a thing to it. I guess I should have saved my money and time.
