    Q
    Is there a less expensive alternative to Lontrel?
    I have used Lontrel in the past to kill thistle in my garden beds. (It was recommended to me by a friend who owns a landscaping business.) I need to kill thistle again, but the cost of Lontrel is outrageous. Is there a less expensive alternative that would be suitable for my purposes?
    A

    Unfortunately, there is no similar product we are aware of like Lontrel that will kill thistle without harming/damaging your garden beds. You may manually hand pull or spot treat using a non selective herbicide such as Prime Source Surmise Pro Herbicide, but you have to be very careful and avoid any contact with the desirable plants.

    Q
    I have Bermuda grass that is infected with dichondra. I want to use Lontrel, but it says not for residential lawns. What can I use?
    A

    Lontrel Turf and Ornamental Herbicide is not actually labeled to control dichondra but you are correct is not for residential lawns.  We apologize but are not able to locate a product that would kill it.  While some products such as SpeedZone or Drive state do not apply to dichondra, we cannot recommend them since not a labeled use.

    Why can't you spray Lontrel Turf and Ornamantal Herbicide on residential turf?

    Q
    Is Lontrel recommended to remove clover from a bed of vinca minor?
    A
    Lontrel Turf and Ornamental is a selective post-emergent herbicide that controls certain broad-leaf weeds in turf and certain ornamental plantings, such as conifers and non-leguminous woody species, in landscapes and nurseries. It does not specifically list vinca minor as tolerable on the product label. Please contact the manufacturer, Dow Agrosciences, at 800-992-5994 to ensure this product will not harm vinca minor.
