Our most popular general weed control product that is selective, meaning it will not harm your turf grass but it will kill your weeds, is End Run.
End Run is labeled for just about any weed you could have including clover, dandelions, and chickweed and will not harm your grass. Best of all, it comes with a surfactant already mixed in the product so you do not have to purchase and mix a surfactant separately like you do with most of the other herbicides that we sell.

The best time to apply Certainty for poa annua or for any of the other listed weeds on the label would be when they are actively growing. You should mix Certainty with a surfactant to increase its effectiveness.
It would be best to call your local county extension office for when to apply any type of herbicides or insecticides in your area. They will know exactly when you should apply it in your specific county.
