The label states it is effective against Creeping Charlie, but also states it will not harm stolens of desirable grasses and ornamentals in their dormant state. Creeping Charlie spreads BOTH by seeds and resprouts from tap roots of plants gone dormant. Correct me if I am wrong - This product WILL ONLY prevent the seeds from germinating, and only for the season (time frame) indicated on the label. The seeds of most weeds are viable MUCH longer than one season.
Prodiamine 65 WDG (Generic Barricade) is not labeled for pre emergent control of creeping charlie (ground ivy).
Unfortunately, currently there are not any pre-emergents on the market for Creeping Charlie. Control can be achieved by spot treating with a selective herbicide labeled for use in your turfgrass type.
Please view our Creeping Charlie Treatment Guide for more information.
