  • Asked by David from Phoenix, Az

    Q
    Must you water Snapshot in in ALL conditions?
    I live in a desert climate - Phoenix. Is the issue with watering in to keep it in place without blowing away... or is there some sort of negative chemical change that occurs due to sunlight? I ask because I have used the product for 2 1/2 years now, and one time I DID NOT water it in due to the large size of my yard and the fact that predicted rain did not happen. Didn't get rain for 2 months. 8 months later the yard is still weed free. It seems to have worked fine. Comments?
    A
    Pre-emergents including Snapshot should always be watered in (so that it can reach the soil level) to help stop the weeds from germinating. If they are not watered in or applied with water (using a water dispersible granule), they will treat weeds you are targeting.

    Q
    I am planting a new strawberry garden no harvest until next year. Can I use snapshot this year?
    A
    When using Snapshot you want to make sure that you give it the 2 year time to leave the soil. We would recommend to use something that does not stay in soil like Roundup.

  • Asked by Jennifer from Crawfordsville, In

    Q
    What is the best pre emergent herbicide for a tree planting?
    I have a 7 acre tree planting, mostly oaks, walnuts, black locust, norway spruce and white cedar that are planted in rows with clover planted in between the rows. What is the best and LONGEST lasting pre emergent herbicide to use around the trees? The planting has been established for 5 years now. Marestail, cockbur and dandelions are primary weeds. I'm tired of spraying roundup 3 times a year!
    A

    Snapshot 2.5 TG sounds like the product you need and should do a good job for you. However, it is labeled for white clover since it is considered a broadleaf weed, so Snapshot would prevent the clover from germinating if planted from seed, as well.

    Q
    Is Snapshot 2.5 TG a good choice for dandelion weed control in Kentucky Blue Grass?
    Need some dandelion weed control help
    A

    Snapshot 2.5 TG is not labeled for use on your lawn.

    We would recommend using Fertilome Broadleaf Weed Control with Gallery. This is safe for use on centipede grass and is a granular product. It is also labeled for pre-emergent control of dandelions, as well as other weeds.

  • Asked by Derek from Saint Augustine, Fl

    Q
    Can Snapshot 2.5 TG be used on perennial peanut?
    I have perennial peanut as a ground cover rather than grass. Will it hurt the peanut?
    A

    The Snapshot 2.5 TG product manufacturer states that they do not know whether it would be safe to use over perennial peanut since it is not on the label. This article on Perennial Peanut in Urban Landscapes suggests spot-treating weeds with a Roundup-type product that is non-selective in this particular groundcover.

  • Asked by Rusty from Floyd Knobs, In
    03/23/2018
    Q
    How much rain will Snapshot take until it becomes ineffective?
    A

    Snapshot 2.5 TG is a pre-emergent herbicide that needs to be activated with about 0.5 inches of rainfall or irrigation. If you are expecting extremely heavy rains, then it would be best to delay your application so that your barrier is not disturbed. Snapshot should be activated within 3 days of application for best results. Repeat applications at 150 lbs per Acre or higher should not be made sooner than 60 days, per the product label.

    Can Snapshot 2.5 TG - 50 lbs kill weeds growing in between rocks?
    A

    Yes, Snapshot 2.5 TG can be used in this type of area.  Keep in mind that it is a pre-emergent, meaning it will prevent weeds from germinating, but will not kill any weeds that are actively growing.

    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.

  • Asked by Eddie from Santa Ana, Ca

    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 be used with planting of Nassella trichotoma?
    A

    Snapshot 2.5 TG - 50 lbs. does not list Nassella trichotoma as tolerant to an application. This does not appear to be something common to the US so the manufacturer does appear to have tested Snapshot around it.

    Q
    Can I apply Snapshot 2.5 TG over the top of Buffalo Grass?
    Customer has 7-8 year old buffalo grass lawn, very intermittent and patchy. They get many weeds in between patches of Buffalo Grass. Could we hold back the weeds with snapshot or do we risk damaging the buffalo grass?
    A

    Snapshot 2.5 TG is not labeled to be used in lawns so would not be recommended over buffalograss.  It is for use only in landscape ornamentals, ground covers, perennials, non-bearing fruit and nut trees, container grown ornamentals, non-bearing vineyards, field-grown ornamentals and non-cropland.  For lawns you can use something like Pendulum.
