Refer to the respective product labels for specific use directions, precautions, and limitations before tank mixing and we recommend that you follow the label instructions of the product with the most restrictions. Be sure that both products are safe to use on the turf you have.

This product will be best used around established ornamentals and ground covers (do not use in desirable turfgrass).

You can also use pre-emergent herbicide going forward in spring and/or fall to prevent weed growth. Snapshot is our most popular choice for use around ornamentals and groundcovers.
