Did you kill your grass, or are you wanting a product recommendation???
What brand did you use? I have previously used the Spectricide and it never killed the grass, but then again it didn't really kill the weeds either!

I always recommend the Ortho brand killer that we sell at Westlake. I've never had any repeat customers complain.

I used to always use scott's weed and feed. I made the mistake of switching one feeding because they we're sold out. I ended up with more weeds. I'll never switch away from scott's again!!!! I use Ortho Weed-Be-Gone on areas the spreader doesn't get and Ortho Grass-Killer on the seams of the side walk and grill area. I won't switch them either! I learned a valuable lesson, stick with what works the best. There is no substitution that preforms like the best.

Spectracide weed stop....from Wallyworld....That is the brand that I used....I have already had a couple of product reccomendations I see....This is a little weed that we call a milkweed in Oklahoma....It shouldn't be tough to kill...It starts out small and then kinda spreads as it grows...The local Atwoods store sells a product called Weed and Feed, but I really don't think it works to good....I have had difficulty getting the grass look good here....this is only our second summer in this house and it was really neglected for a long time.....But dog gone it all, I just had it coming around....There are many spots as I only sprayed the weeds and not the whole yard, Thank goodness. Thanks for any help concerning this matter....Nomadic
