Watering Tips
Watering this product in is a key step. A good watering after you apply activates the formula, washing the granules off the grass blades and moving them down to the soil to start working.
Product Tips
Mow First: It's a good idea to mow a day or two before you apply.
Product Safety
- Let it Dry: It's best to have the lawn to yourself during application. Do not allow people and pets to reenter the area until watering-in is complete and the surface is dry.
- Gear Up: We recommend wearing a long-sleeved shirt and long pants when you're applying.
- Wash Up: After you're done, be sure to wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water.
How do I store leftover product?
Got some left over? No problem. Just fold the top of the bag down, secure it, and store it in a cool, dry place like your garage or shed, safely away from kids and pets.
What's the difference between this and Bonus S?
Think of this as the next level of protection for your Southern lawn. Both products are great at killing weeds and feeding, but Southern Triple Action adds a third major benefit: it also prevents and kills fire ants for up to 6 months.
Why do I need to water this in?
Watering immediately after application is what gets the party started. It moves the product down into the soil so it can get to work on preventing fire ants and feeding your lawn's roots.
How long until I see results?
You'll see weeds start to look unhealthy in a few days, and you'll have protection from fire ants right away. The feeding will help your lawn get greener and stronger over the next few weeks.
What weeds and insects does this product kill?
This product kills listed lawn weeds like dollarweed, dandelion, clover, oxalis, plantain, chickweed, and hebit. It also kills fire ants (and prevents them for up to 6 months), armyworms, grasshoppers, fleas, mole crickets, chinch bugs, sod webworms, and ticks.
