Customer Reviews for QuinKill Max Crabgrass and Weed Killer

This is my third bottle of this stuff. It works well and does not affect desirable grasses. Crabgrass dies and disappears after a week or two. Always use a surfactant with it. I have no complaints to report.

Excellent crabgrass control. Slight browning of Bermudagrass. Use a surfactant. This is my second purchase.

Followed directions + used a surfactant, absolutely nothing, increased amount/gal. and double sprayed area and again nothing! Not only did it not work but it was a waste of money and a bigger waste of my time!

Mixed as per instructions with dish soap added as surfactant, one week later the crab grass is looking very sickly.

Applied to a 30' x 30' square of newly planted bluegrass which germinated with a large amount of crab grass. Had applied starter fertilizer with weed killer that had no affect on the crabgrass. Applied quinkill, with a surfactant and after two weeks received a 99% result. Product does work as advertised; I am quite happy with the result after only one application.

I applied the product using a surfactant through a hose end sprayer. Coverage was spot on. After 24 hours there was a noticeable "browning effect". The only disappointment was the effect on crabgrass. I would buy and use again for all less desirable weeds/grasses except crabgrass.

I used this last summer to kill several large patches of crabgrass. It took two applications to full deaden the patches but these were fully developed and completey knitted together in my hard Georgia clay. However, even with a late season application in August my Bermuda grass still had enough vigor and growing time to fill in the patches. Now that crabgrass season is back in session the patches that I killed last year have not returned and the turf has returned to its original vigor. I am again using this on new areas that have weak turf, and with any luck they should be patched up by the end of this season. Those who this didn't work for most likely don't have crabgrass or used no surfactant - I used 98 cent dish soap to spread it.

I read the reviews and decided to take a chance on this product - I'm glad I did. The crab grass is brownish and my grass is still green. I will re-apply because we got some unexpected rain 1 day after applying to yard so I want to make sure it really takes hold. I did mix with the surfactant(?) and am pleased with the results. I highly recommend QuinKill Max. Purchasing and shipping was fast and easy. Customer Service is STELLAR! Will definitely purchase from domyown.com again.

I'm a skeptical person, as many of my peers. I frankly found it hard to believe that this could be such a "selective" killer. Lets face it, crabgrass is tough! The crabgrass nearly took over my lawn in just 1 year! My lawn was speckled with fescue from last years new sod, I was really worried that it would effect what I had left of real grass. I carefully mixed as instructed using the surfactant blended in, and applied with care. Walla! it decimated the crabgrass, and did not hurt my fescue...pretty amazing. I applied in early October of 2019 and the crabgrass was visibly killed in less than two weeks. Good thing was, I overseeded new fescue seed right after application and now my lawn is looking good! QuinKill, the grim reaper of weed killers!

I decided to try Quinkill because I had a LOT of crabgrass and foxtail and a variety of other weeds that were resistant to other chemicals. I purchase the home recently and the lawn is in poor condition from lack of proper care. Now to the important part of this review: I did not do a sufficient job of watching the forecast and applied approx 1/2 qt. of Quinkill at a rate of 1.5 oz per gallon with surfactant for spot spraying. Approx 12 hours later we had a heavy thunderstorm with 1.5 inches of rain and heavy wind. Approx 48 hours after application I was pleased to see the product had great results despite the rain.

Tested on neighboring golf course's crabgrass production farm. Can only say QuinKill Max does the job on crabgrass. Now using on my lawn with great success. Does not appears to damage bluegrass. Test your sprayers coverage with water, then do the math to determine mix ratio. A surprisingly small amount of QuinKill Max and Hy-Yield Spreader Sticker does a great job. Recommend.

I followed the instruction for this product from the label. The results were yellowed grass for a month now with no killing of the crabgrass. If it was affected it is not apparent. Expensive with no result that I can see.

Sprayed on my Bermuda which was heavily weed infested. Prior big box weed & feed applications did not work. Sprayed this according to the directions. Some weeds browned out with a few days, some of the heavier stuff took about 14-16 days. We are just about completely weed free now.

This product made the crabgrass unhealthy, but had to be sprayed four times to be even partially effective. The Bermuda grass turned brown also but some of it is coming back. I didn't find this to be a very good product.

I ordered this after sending in pictures and getting a recommendation from customer service. I applied it once and didn't see much killing action in one week. I have used it twice and am still not impressed. I still have a major weed infestation. This was not any better than a product you buy on sale at the big box store. Mixing rates are a bit hard to calculate unless you are using a very large volume or on a large space.

I've sprayed my crabgrass (wet them down very good) twice over a period of one week between spraying and I see absolutely no signs of the grass dying. I left a few not sprayed for a test, and I see no difference between the ones sprayed and not sprayed. I may try again, but it seems like this stuff just doesn't work.

used a spot sprayer, test it on fescue and Bermuda, grass is fine, crabgrass is dead. I will get a larger amount and a sprayer with bar, do my own yard from now on

Used Quinkill Max in my Bermuda lawn to remove some crabgrass in various stages of growth. Applied as a spot treatment using the 3 tbl /gal plus 1 1/2 tbl of MOS. No effect on either the Bermuda or crabgrass. Two weeks later applied again using the 1.45 oz/gal ratio (stronger). Killed Bermuda. no effect on crabgrass. Didn't work for me.

I tried several attempts to get crabgrass to die in my yard. It would usually turn dull and look like it was going to pass on, but then it would come right back. Even if I did multiple sprayings, I might not see any difference for several days then it would sometimes come back from the same plants I sprayed. Now the good news. I tried QuinKill Max on a suggestion from a friend and it is a once and done magic killer. It's very hot now so even grass is dying which usually lets Crab Grass get an even better start, but it stopped the Crab Grass cold and the grass around it seems to be fine. Great Product. Great Service. I highly recommend.

Knowing crabgrass is difficult to kill, I wasn't expecting a miracle when I used this product. Two weeks after using the product, approximately 20% of the crabgrass treated was dead. The remaining 80% seems to be growing very well. Unfortunately, 80% of the grass which was surrounding the crabgrass is now dead. If I knew this was a possibility I would have opted to use Roundup or another non-selective vegetation killer and then reseeded the area.

I don't know what happened, but i followed the drections to the letter and now 4 days after the 2nd application the crab grass is still doing just fine. It didn't really seem to affect anything. It really stinks.

I've used pretty much everything on the market for eliminating post emergent crabgrass. This one does a great job. Us it according to the label directions and it will work. Period!

I have been fighting Crabgrass for years trying to use preventative fertilizer applications with no success. This stuff dropped the hammer on the problem. 2 week follow up, as recommended, finished the job.

I am very pleased with this product. I applied it on my lawn in the evening and did not use any sticker-spreader additive. The crabgrass is showing effects of this spray within about 8 days. I would highly recommend it others.

This product works well to kill crabgrass in Zoysia grass. Kills crabgrass dead in 3 days and does not phase the Zoysia. It will not kill Oxalis.

Been trying stuff from local HD with tepid results. Ordered this stuff and followed directions exactly. Sprayed my entire lawn. 4-5 days later every crabgrass plant was brown and crispy. "Real" grass was unharmed. A good way to find any lingering crabgrass is to go out early on a morning that the grass is wet either with a heavy dew or after a night's rainfall. The water stands on the crabgrass, making it stand out almost flourescently against real grass. I found 1 little patch with 4 plants that I probably missed while spraying. If you want to go on a crusade to kill every crabgrass plant in your yard, I highly recommend this product! Just read and follow the instructions and you will be the victor in your war against this insidious weed.

I had a full yard of crabgrass. Not just patches it truly had taken over my yard. I was searching for a product with that was legal in NY. This fit the bill and is the same as other products I had found but could not get shipped to NY. I followed the directions on the label mixed it and sprayed. Took me 4 or 5 hours to do the entire lawn. Saw the grass turning orange in about a 4 days and then it died. I dethached the yard and hand raked out the dead stuff. Re seeded and covered with straw and am watching it establish itself. This product did not kill the grass just the crabgrass and clovers. I will add a pre-emergent next spring and keep my fingers crossed. Great product in my experience
