What's the difference between pre-emergent and post-emergent herbicides?
Pre-emergent herbicides (Barricade, Spartan, Propyzamide) stop weed seeds from germinating — apply before weeds appear. Post-emergent herbicides (Bow & Arrow, Estate, Dicamba M, Monument, Odessa, Coliseum, Tempra) kill existing weeds in your lawn.
When is the best time to apply weed killer?
Apply post-emergent herbicides when weeds are actively growing — spring and autumn are ideal. Avoid spraying when temperatures are above 28°C or when rain is imminent. Pre-emergents should go down before weed seeds germinate (late summer for winter grass, late winter for summer grass).
Will these herbicides damage my lawn?
All of these are selective herbicides — designed to kill weeds without damaging your turf grass. Always check the label for compatibility with your specific grass type. Some products have restrictions (e.g. Propyzamide is for Couch and Buffalo only).
How long until I see results?
Most post-emergent herbicides show visible effects within 7–14 days, with full kill in 3–4 weeks. Pre-emergents work invisibly — you'll know they're working because weeds don't appear.
Do I need a spreader sticker or wetter?
Most liquid post-emergent herbicides benefit from a wetting agent (like Pulse Penetrant or BS1000). It helps the spray stick to waxy leaves and improves uptake. Check each label for specific advice.
