How to apply Sunday weed control step by step
For best results, apply Sunday weed control when weeds are actively growing spring to fall. Finish weed control before seeding or planting, and don't try to do both on the same day.
Before you apply
- Check the forecast. Rain within 3 hours of application can wash the product off before it works. Leaves need to dry fully before any rain or watering.
- Check the temperature. Ideal temps are between 50°F and 85°F. Weed Warrior can be applied in slightly higher temps (up to 95°F).
- Skip mow day. Freshly mowed weeds reduces the amount of leaf area and makes herbicides less effective. Wait a couple days after mowing before applying.
How to apply
- Target the leaves, not the roots. Sunday weed control is absorbed through the leaves. Spraying the roots won't work.
- Soak the leaves well. Get complete coverage (but stop before the product really starts dripping off).
- Spray up close. A closer distance gives you better coverage and less drift onto desirable grass.
- Apply on a sunny, dry day if you can. Sunshine and dry weather improves how fast and effectively the product works.
More established patches and larger weeds may need multiple applications. Repeat applications according to the product label.
Important: Sunday weed control works on labeled weeds but won't treat woody weeds, very old weeds, or weeds with modified stems like bulbs or rhizomes.
