Best Clover Killer for Lawns

We put Bonide’s Chickweed and Clover Killer to the test on our own lawns. This concentrated formula packs a punch against pesky weeds like clover, dandelions, and ground ivy. We mixed it up and sprayed it on a clover-infested area. Within days, we saw the weeds start to wilt and die off.

One thing we really liked was how it didn’t harm our grass. We were worried about bare patches, but the lawn stayed green and healthy. The product also goes a long way – one bottle can treat a huge area. This makes it a good value for larger yards.

We did find that some tough weeds needed a second spray. It’s also important to follow the mixing instructions carefully. We accidentally spilled some concentrate, and it left a small dead spot. But when used right, this weed killer is a lawn’s best friend. It’s a solid choice for anyone battling clover or chickweed in their yard.

We tried Ortho WeedClear on our weed-infested test lawn and saw quick results. Within hours, dandelions and clover started wilting. The comfort wand made spraying a breeze – no pumping needed.

After a few days, most weeds were completely dead. Our grass stayed green and healthy. We liked that it’s rainproof after drying, so a sudden shower didn’t ruin our work.

The 1-gallon size covered our whole yard. For tough weeds, we did a second spray a week later. While it worked great, the smell was strong at first. We made sure to keep pets away until it dried. For big lawns, buying multiple jugs can get expensive. But for average yards, we think it’s worth it to zap weeds fast.

We tested Bonide’s Clover Crusher on our own lawns and were impressed with how quickly it went to work. Within 24 hours, we noticed clover and chickweed starting to wilt and die off. The systemic formula really does kill weeds down to the roots.

One thing to watch out for is the lack of clear mixing instructions on the bottle. We had to experiment a bit to find the right concentration. We found that about 2-3 ounces per gallon of water in a pump sprayer worked well for us. Adding a small amount of dish soap helped it stick to the leaves better.

For tough weeds like oxalis, we needed to do a second application after about a week. But after two treatments, even the most stubborn weeds were gone. Just be careful using it on warm-season grasses like Bermuda, as it can cause some browning. Overall, we think this is a solid choice for controlling clover and other broadleaf weeds in most lawns.

We tried Scotts Turf Builder Weed & Feed on our lawn, and the results were impressive. The granules were easy to spread using a Scotts rotary spreader. We made sure to apply it when the grass was wet from morning dew, which helped the product stick to weed leaves.

After a few weeks, we noticed a big drop in clover and dandelions. The lawn looked thicker and greener too. It was nice to see the weeds dying off while the grass got healthier. We liked that it targets so many weed types, not just one or two.

One thing to watch out for is the weather. You need to apply it when it’s between 60°F and 90°F outside, with no rain in the forecast for 24 hours. This limits when you can use it. Also, it’s not for all grass types, so check if it works for your lawn first. But for the grass types it does work on, we found it to be a solid 2-in-1 solution for a weed-free, lush lawn.

We tried Ortho Weed B-Gon on our lawn and saw great results. It tackled clover, chickweed, and oxalis that other weed killers couldn’t touch. The concentrate mixes easily – we used 1 oz per gallon of water to cover 200 square feet.

One bottle treats a big area – up to 3,200 square feet. That’s a lot of lawn! We liked that it became rainproof after just 6 hours. This meant we didn’t have to worry about rain washing away our hard work.

Be careful when using this product. It works on many grass types, but can harm some. Check the label to make sure it’s safe for your lawn. Also, don’t use it when it’s really hot outside. We found it worked best on actively growing weeds in cooler weather.

We tried Bonide’s Weed Zapper Spray on a lawn full of clover and were impressed by its quick results. The spray nozzle made application a breeze, and we noticed wilting weeds within hours.

One thing we liked was how it targeted weeds without damaging the grass. We sprayed it on a sunny day and saw major improvement in just 24 hours. The clover started curling up and turning brown.

We found it worked best when we didn’t mow for a couple days before and after use. It rained the day after we sprayed, but the product had already soaked in and kept working. While it zapped most weeds, some stubborn ones needed a second dose.

We tested Ortho WeedClear on our clover-infested lawn and saw impressive results. The ready-to-spray bottle made application easy – we just attached our garden hose and started spraying. Within a few hours, we noticed the clover starting to wilt.

After a week, most of the clover was completely dead. The product didn’t harm our Kentucky bluegrass or fescue. We did notice it struggled a bit with some stubborn dandelions, requiring a second application.

One thing to keep in mind is that Ortho WeedClear isn’t meant for all grass types. It’s not safe for Floratam St. Augustine grass, so check the label if you’re unsure about your lawn variety. We also learned it’s crucial to follow the instructions closely to avoid over-application, which could stress your grass.

We tested Scotts TouchUp Weed Control on our lawns and found it handy for quick weed removal. The 24-ounce spray bottle is perfect for tackling small weed patches. We liked how it targets pesky dandelions and clover without damaging the surrounding grass.

Our team sprayed some crabgrass patches, and while it didn’t completely eliminate them, it did slow their growth. For best results, we had to apply it a few times over a couple of weeks. The spray nozzle made it easy to aim at specific weeds without accidentally hitting flowers or garden plants.

We noticed the smell was strong at first but faded after a day. The bottle lasted longer than we expected, treating several small areas in our yards. It’s not a fix for large weed problems, but it’s great for keeping your lawn tidy between major treatments.

We tried Gordon’s SpeedZone on our own lawns and were impressed by how quickly it worked. Within just a few hours, we saw weeds starting to wilt and die off. This quick action is great for getting your yard ready for events or if you’re just tired of looking at pesky weeds.

The coverage area is a big plus. One 20-ounce bottle can treat up to 18,000 square feet, which is enough for most large yards. We found this especially handy for tackling widespread weed problems without having to buy multiple bottles.

When using SpeedZone, we noticed it didn’t harm our grass when applied as directed. This is crucial for keeping your lawn looking its best while getting rid of unwanted plants. Just be careful with the mixing ratio – we learned the hard way that too strong a mix can leave dead patches in the grass.

We tried Southern Ag’s 2,4-D Weed Killer on our test lawn and were impressed by its quick work on stubborn weeds. This liquid formula packs a punch against dandelions, clover, and other broadleaf invaders.

The concentrated formula goes a long way. We only needed a small amount to cover a large area. This makes it a budget-friendly choice for treating big lawns or fields.

One thing to note – it has a strong odor. We made sure to wear gloves and follow the mixing instructions carefully. It’s potent stuff, so take care not to get it on plants you want to keep.

We saw results within days. Weeds started wilting and dying off, leaving the grass untouched. For tough weeds, we did a second application after two weeks.

This weed killer works best when sprayed on actively growing weeds. We found it most effective in spring and early summer. It also worked well as a spot treatment for problem areas throughout the growing season.
