  • Asked by Joann from Monroe, Ct

    Q
    Will Snapshot kill Geranium macrorrhizm 'Bevans Beauty'?
    A

    Snapshot is a post-emergent herbicide only, so it is not made to kill any existing plants. Geranium cinereum (ballerina) is listed as intolerant of over-the-top Snapshot applications, while the common weed Carolina geranium is prevented from germinating by using Snapshot. Geranium incarnum and Geranium subcaulescens are listed as tolerant plants of Snapshot. Since the exact species you mention is not listed as either tolerant or intolerant, we would recommend testing over a small area before treating around a large area of this groundcover, or selecting a different product for your needs.

    If you would like to tell us more specifically which plants you are wanting to kill/prevent and which are the desirable plants, then we can better assist you.

    Q
    Will applying Snapshot 2.5 TG in spring over a bed of dormant ferns prevent them from emerging?
    I have been using Snapshot on my "moss lawn" with excellent effect and no damage. I have several large areas of native ferns that have emerged in areas where I have cleared invasive plants. I would like to spread the pre-emergent before the weeds start to show up the spring but don't want to prevent the ferns from erupting. Does the reproductive biology of ferns allow them to reproduce (or whatever they do in the spring) if Snapshot has been applied to the soil beforehand?
    A

    Snapshot 2.5 TG is labeled to be used safely on the following fern species:  Australian Tree Fern, Filicoides Fern, Cypress Fern, Tasmanian Tree Fern, Japanese Painted Fern, and Tassel Fern.

    Q
    Can you apply Snapshot twice, in Spring and Fall?
    I applied early this spring, it worked great but now the weeds are coming back Can I apply a second application at the end of July/ August
    A

    Yes, you could apply Snapshot more than once during the year in accordance with the product label. Fall applications will help control winter weeds such as poa annua. Repeat applications at 150 lb per Acre and higher should not be made sooner than 60 days after a previous application of Snapshot 2.5 TG. Do not apply over 600 lb per Acre total of Snapshot 2.5 TG within a 12-month period. Be sure to follow label precautions in areas where you may intend to transplant or grow other plants in the future.

    Q
    Can this Snapshot 2.5 TG be applied to a fescue lawn and to mondo grass as a pre emergent?
    I get a ground cover lacy weed in my lawn that I can't get rid of.
    A

    Snapshot 2.5 TG is not labeled to be used in any turf grasses. It is meant to be used in landscape beds and around trees. There are many different types of weeds in your area that would fit this description.  We would most likely need an identification before recommending a product so that we can get the one that best fits your needs.

    Q
    Will Snapshot control florida betony (rattlesnake weed)
    I have been fighting florida betony in my shrub beds for two years. I have eradicated it in beds to 90% but if one single plant remains, it comes back and spreads back into the beds. I have used Weed-B-Gone and RoundUp to some limited success but I am looking for something to control it over my whole yard.
    A
    Snapshot is not labeled to control florida betony. Hi Yield Atrazine Weed Killer is specifically labeled for floida betony. Please consult the product label to be sure it will work for your specific type of grass.

    Q
    Can I use Snapshot in mulch beds?
    I have mulch beds with varies plants. I have weeded, but onion weeds keep returning.
    A

    Snapshot 2.5 TG is not labeled to prevent wild onion and there is no pre-emergent that will. Wild Onion can be dug out to remove the bulbs for best non chemical results. You are just limited on what you can spray in areas with desirable plants and must spot treat directly with non selective herbicides.

    Q
    What happen if Snapshot is applied without water? Will it still be effective? Will it lose effectiveness if I water it the next day?
    A

    Snapshot should always be watered in (so that it can reach the soil level) to help stop the weeds from germinating. Please make sure the Snapshot is used at another time when you are ready to apply water. It will not lose it's effectiveness, but the prodcut works better when it is watered in.

    Q
    Using Snapshot 2.5 TG in a new bed
    What would be best for weed control in a new bed? First get to soil then blanket spray Roundup then sprinkle this out? Is RoundUp a bad idea? I would be planting in this bed as well. Thank you.
    A

    Roundup would be good to use to kill anything in the bed now as well as spot treating with care on future weeds, then you could plant in 2 weeks and apply Snapshot 2.5 TG after planting for future prevention.

  • Asked by Carolyn from Little Rock, Ar
    10/23/2018
    Q
    Do you have recommendations for using granular Snapshot on sloped landscape beds?
    Has anyone had experience with this?
    A

    Since Snapshot is a pre-emergent herbicide and needs to be watered in, you want to be sure the area is not so dry or sloped that the product will not just run out of the area when you water it. You may want to use sprinklers, a hose, or a watering can to moisten the treatment area first to help the granules stay in place before activating with water.

    Q
    Can Snapshot be applied directly on top of plants?
    Can Snapshot be applied directly on top of established plants and then watered in or does it have to be applied around the established plants only?
    A

    Snapshot 2.5 TG is best applied directly to the soil and then watered in as it is a pre-emergent herbicide.  If some granules get on the leaves during application, these should be knocked off if they do not come off after watering.

    Q
    Can Snapshot TG hurt your skin if there is a slight wind when applying?
    A

    Snapshot 2.5 TG is safe when used according to the product label. Ideally you would want to apply on a day with no wind to minimize excess drift of the product into non target areas. If you are wearing the proper PPE (personal protective equipment) as listed on the Product Label- long sleeve shirt, long pants, shoes plus socks- then there should be minimal chance of the product contacting your skin. If some does blow and touch your skin, just rinse and wash it with soapy water.
