Three Weed Killers Tested Side-By-Side On Dandelions

If you have dandelions in your lawn and want to kill them off for good then the experiment I ran this April is for you. I tested three different weed killers on a patch of dandelions this Spring to see which one worked the best.

One product was an over-the-counter natural product from the Moss Out product line. Their 5-1 product uses Iron HEDTA to control weeds. I love natural products so I had hopes for this option.

I also used Spectracide, a spray with four active ingredients that I bought at a local big box store as well as a "fancy" concentrate spray called Triad Select that I bought for three times as much money online.

The Spectracide was a hand-held pump spray bottle, the Moss Out product was delivered via hose end sprayer, and the Triad Select was the fancy product that I had to dilute myself into a pump sprayer for application.

In the end, the Triad Select killed the dandelions very well and didn't leave the lawn space looking damaged at all except it took almost three weeks to get really great-looking results.

The Triad product does go a really long way too considering how much ground it can cover after it has been mixed into your sprayer so I consider it to be a must-have in my garage at all times and worth its cost.

Alternatives to Triad Select would be any concentrate that uses a potent mixture of 2, 4D, Dicamba, and MCPA in their active ingredient list.

Any tank sprayer will do however I recommend most people to invest in a battery sprayer for use in the lawn. I use the Petra Tools 3-gallon sprayer most of the time these days however my older Field King pump sprayer is cheaper and works just fine too.
