Customer Reviews for Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer

Product works excellent thought it was a little late in the season to spray for crab grass but I gave it a shot any way with some xlr8 and it performed great even in late season application

I used this on a cool-weather fescue lawn according to directions, along with a surfactant. I had a nearly 100% selective kill of crabgrass within a week. It is the best crabgrass control product that I have ever used. This lawn also had substantial areas of nimblewill (Muhlenbergia shreberi). I was worried that the product might harm this grass since it is not listed on the product label. However, it had no adverse effect on nimblewill.

its July in Washington DC. Really hot and humid. Crabgrass and torpedo grass have taken over my yard. Mostly torpedo. the Drive killed the crab grass within 1 day. No questions asked. but the torpedo grass... not yet. the directions say another treatment is required in 14 days. so we'll have to wait and see

I paired the DyneAmic Surfactant with the Drive XLR8 Herbicide Crabgrass Killer and it killed about half of the crabgrass I had in the yard in the first 14 days. The instructions say it may take up to there applications. I'm applying the second application to those areas where the crabgrass is still present today. I am extremely happy with the product thus far.

I sprayed this around the first of Aug. I mixed around 3 1/2 oz and 3/4 oz of surfactant in 1 1/2 gal sprayer. At this time of yr. the crabgrass is in the mature stage in So. Indiana. The morning I sprayed this there was morning dew on it, with the oil surfactant it nocked the dew off and made it easier to see where I sprayed. I don't know if this made a difference in the killing effect, but in 2 days you could see it was stressed. Now it is the Aug. 16 and what I sprayed is dead and not sprouting it's seeds. I have bought a lot of different chemicals from "Do My Own" and pretty well everything I have bought works as is described. Some of the mixing instructions could be better in mixing small amounts, but that comes from the companys that produce products. I will never buy expensive Bayer products again. I tried their crabgrass and weed killer first and crabby just laughed at what I wasted my money on.

I spot applied Drive XLR8 with my backpack sprayer at a rate of 1.5oz per gallon along with .5oz surfactant per gallon. I was amazed at how quickly the crabgrass started to die. This works very well for crabgrass.

I have a huge back yard with a lot of crabgrass. I purchased Drive last year, and it didn't kill very much of the weed. I'm sure it was because I didn't use a surfactant. This year I mixed a surfactant with the Drive and what a difference! You will get much better results from Drive with a surfactant.

Crabgrass was yellow in 2 days and dead in a week. It took 2 weeks for the clover to die. Great product.

I received exllent results with my control of my crabgrass. It was starting to headout when I applied it. It worked both on my bluegrass and buffalo grass. I will likely use it again.

After trying several selective herbicides to only have the crabgrass turn slightly brown and bounce back, I decided to spend the money for drive xlr8 and the suggested methylated seed oil. After 1 application on a sunny day, I noticed most of the smaller crabgrass was browning within 24 hours. After 3-5 days, most was dead. Some of the larger areas took a second application but at least I have my yard back. 4/5 because of price, but it's worth it.

This stuff totally killed the crabgrass D E A D! However, it didn't do anything else to any of the other weeds in my pitiful Bermuda lawn in Georgia. I do have some Trimec 992 coming to take care of the broadleaf weeds and I also put down some Dimension 2EW for pre-emergent for the fall and I'll reapply the Dimension in probably Februaury before the spring warming and crabgrass seeds and Poa start to sprout again. Drive is the crabgrass slaying product it claims to be.

The product works great. I followed the instructions on the label and the crabgrass started to die 2 days later. I "spot treated" and used 1 oz per gallon in a backpack sprayer and added the recommended amount of the suggested surfactant.

First time using this. My bermuda lawn was being taken over by crabgrass. Sprayed Drive on it and you could tell it was working the next day. Did have to spray my front yard twice though. That may be because of the severity of the crabgrass though. Overall, I'm very satisfied with it.

I had a lot of crab grass in my lawn and this killed it quickly and completely. Did no damage to lawn. I saw results within 3 days and all was dead within about 7-10 days. Follow directions and the product will perform.

The product works great. A few days after the application the crabgrass was turning brown.

The Drive XLR8 worked worked very well on my thick crabgrass. Will probably give another application next year earlier in the season. It didn't kill what I call crowsfoot or wiregrass depending on who you talk to so I will have to contact them to see if they have a product to take care of that.

It's hard to tell what the solution is or not doing. I have used this formula before. Crabgrass is hard to get rid of so I use caution. One application did not solve the problem.

It works as it should. I only use it for one application then wait for the grass to take control. It holds down the growth of the weedy grass.
