I had Creeping Charlie in my back yard for years and had tried several different herbicides to get rid of it without success until I found this Triclopyr Ester. It does take 3-4 weeks to see results. The Creeping Charlie did come back the next year but to a much lesser extent so I applied the Triclopyr (pronounced TRI - klo - peer) Ester again with better results this time and now my back yard is Creeping Charlie free. THIS STUFF WORKS ON CREEPING CHARLIE. My neighbors on both sides still have Creeping Charlie in their yards and I have offered to help them with it, but they declined so every now and then when the Creeping Charlie gets close to my property I will "accidentally" get a little dose in to their yards. Also, I DO use a surfactant with this herbicide with very good results.

@TheLawnLover 2 года назад

Thanks for sharing Ben, great information! I'm glad you got rid of it in your yard. I'm going to have to probably do a spray down the property line again since the neighbors yard is full of it so it doesn't start creeping back over. Thanks for watching!

Creeping Charlie and Wild Violets have been taking over my lawn for about 4 years and I have been unable to find anything that will get rid of them....until now. I just happened upon this video while checking to see what Ryan Knorr was up to lately and thought I'd check it out. Can't thank you enough. Triclopyr worked great! I could see it was working within 24 to 48 hours and after exactly 2 weeks any weed it touched was dead even the Wild Violet. Great stuff.

I've been using triclopyr on my yard for several years but primarily to get rid of clover that keeps coming back. This product also takes care of dandelions and every other weed that invades the lawn. Triclopyr is actually formulated for killing brush and it does a good job of it so be careful around shrubs and other desirable plants.

@freedomyeahright 29 дней назад

Wanted to share that here on Illinois, I applied in July and had mixed results. Ironically, in area where they was almost no lawn grass, the weed was almost fully eliminated. On the lawn where creeping Charlie is mixed in, it didn’t have much effect. I will be applying again for Labor Day now that daytime temps are in the 70s and 80s to see if results are better. Also I’ve heard that mixing 2-4-D in as a combo can yield good results. Thoughts?

@TheLawnLover 28 дней назад

Mixing 24D into the mix will definitely make it more potent on some other broadleaf weeds, but I am unsure if it will make the triclopyr more effective on the creeping charlie because I personally have not tried it. Depending on how bad your creeping charlie outbreak is, it definitely may require a few applications to full kill it. Mine took 2 applications to fully get rid of it. You will likely have better success in the lower temps. Good luck!

@D-Allen 2 года назад

Just to clarify. 3:48 you said you have a couple hundred square feet. Let's guess 250 square feet. You mixed enough to cover 1000 square feet. Did you over apply it by 4 times the amount recommended?

@jimmiller6704 Год назад

It is sensitive to boron. Mix 3 tablespoons of borax in a 7 liter watering can with 7 liters of water. Try that on a back area, it should only brown off and kill the creeping charlie. If it kills other plants in the area, reduce the mix to 2 tablespoons of borax with the water.

Have creeping Charlie in my yard for the first time ever. It's probably due to the fact that I live in the south and use tenacity as a winter pre-emergent, and post emergent in early spring "It doesn't kill my Bermuda until it gets over 80 degrees consistently i've found" Turns out after my research almost every warm season weed killer kills this stuff, I guess creeping charlie is the the cool season guys Poa Annua.

@TheLawnLover 2 месяца назад

Thanks for the sub, I appreciate it! If you are looking to kill crabgrass (but not your lawn), you want the active ingredient "Quinclorac". Most herbicides at the box stores include this in them, but if you have a bad crabgrass outbreak, I would go with something stronger (with a higher active ingredient of quinclorac). Using a surfactant (or a little dish soap) in the mix will help it stick to the leaf blades better and work more effectively.

@TheLawnLover 4 месяца назад

A surfactant is a liquid you can add to spray mixes to help thr herbicide stick to the weeds.

@StevenDietrich-k2w 4 месяца назад

A surfactant is a wetting agent. Basically, it reduces the surface tension of a liquid so that the liquid can spread out and cover the object (in this case a leaf) more evenly, rather than just bead up and cover a much smaller area. The more of the chemical that comes in contact with the leaf, the better it will work.

@TheLawnLover Год назад

Michael - thanks for reaching out! If you have pictures of the weed you are referencing, please email them to me at (thelawnlover@hotmail.com) so I can take a look and try to help you. Surfactant is a liquid additive that you add to your tank for herbicides that helps the herbicide adhere to the leaf blades - typically making them more effective. This was not referenced on the label when I shot this video, but I was advised by customer support at domyown.com that the manufacturer did not recommend a surfactant with the product. Apparently they have since updated their product label since I shot this video based on a viewer comment that I received last week. I always just mow as usual and then apply the herbicide and allow it a few days to sit before mowing again. Typically, the creeping charlie is so low to the ground that it does not get mowed, so it should not really matter, this is just my personal preference. I appreciate you watching the videos and supporting the channel - I am glad you find the content helpful!

I purchased the Hi Yield Triclopyr, followed the video using a Hudson sprayer, treating the Creeping Charlie per instructed with 3/4 oz per gallon of water and now three weeks later it looks like it was never touched! The weed looks like it is just fine, the only thing changed is my grass has yellowed wherever I sprayed! I took before and after pictures and the creeping charlie looks the same. So disappointed, wasted so much time and the cost of the product. 🙁

I am sorry you did not have success with this product on your creeping charlie. I sprayed mine twice and it killed it off and remains clear of the creeping charlie two years later since I now apply pre emergent in that area. Several others in the comments also had great success with it as well. The only thing I would say about the yellowing grass is what was the air temp when you applied it? You definitely want to apply this when the air is cooler - I am not sure where you are located. Once the grass recovers, I would spray the creeping charlie again to see if you have better success. Thanks for watching, good luck

It seems to be much more common in shaded areas and around trees (likely due to the shade). This grew thick in the shaded area in my back lawn where it gets very little sun - which allowed it to thrive back there. The areas of my lawn that get more sun do not have this issue.

I typically like to spray herbicides or fungicides in the evening and let them sit overnight before reentering the area. This stuff works perfectly when used as directed. Good luck!

@firstname6208 Год назад

I thought stolons were above ground and rhyzomes were under ground. No? Does creeping charlie have that swamp smell when you mow it? And mostly in heavy shade areas?

@TheLawnLover Год назад

You are correct, the stolons are right at the surface and spread horizontally. I have never had it smell terrible when I mow it, but it does tend to like very shady areas away from sunlight. Thanks for watching!

What do you do with the left over chemicals after you finish spraying your Lawn???

@TheLawnLover Год назад

The area I sprayed was roughly 1,000 sq ft so I didn't have much leftover. When I do the rinse out on my sprayer after I'm done, I usually drain it in a bare patch in my wooded area away from everything. Thanks for watching!

@justinrutter88 Год назад

Looking to do an area of 10 feet by 10 feet. How much of it would I use? The directions are so bad.

@TheLawnLover Год назад

To get the mix ratio correct, I personally would mix up enough for 1k sq feet as the label suggests and spray the area you are treating. You can then dispose of the rest in an inconspicuous area not near grass or other plants. Mixing in a smaller batch is tough because if that ratio is incorrect it won't work as intended

Thanks for sharing, no idea why I can't get this product in my province, its considered illegal here :( I need to find something to get rid of that annoying creeping Charlie, and my neighbour doesn't take care of his lawn so that doesn't help at all!

Oh no, that sucks because this stuff works fantastic on it. Thanks for watching, good luck!

How to get fid of fox tail

@TheLawnLover 2 года назад

I would not use this product on foxtail in your lawn. Foxtail is similar to crabgrass - being an annual weed that grows in bunches with seed heads. You will want to use a selective herbicide like a Tzone or something similar to kill it off. Then you want to follow a good pre emergent strategy and overseed regularly to choke any of it from sprouting in the future. Thanks for watching!

@mpix8302 Год назад

Is Hi-Yield Trclopyr Ester safe to use on my Periwinkle vinca vine beds to control the creeping Charlie invasion, in other words will it kill the creeping Charlie but not the desired Periwinkle?

@TheLawnLover Год назад

If it were me, I would NOT use this in a flower bed or where you have other plants present that you want to keep. It is a herbicide, and a strong one at that - so I would be weary of using it around other plants I wanted to keep - especially if those plants are in a similar class as the Creeping Charlie. I think your only option is hand pulling and it will keep coming back due to the fact that it grows underground. Thanks for watching!

@zed9955 11 месяцев назад

I sprayed this on the creeping Charlie on my lawn, I messed up on the mixture and used 3/4 of a cup per gallon. It’s been a few days and so far nothing has happened.

@TheLawnLover 11 месяцев назад

Oh no! Hopefully it doesn't damage the good grass. It may take a week or two to see the full effect of it, I would spray anymore. Good luck!

@SeanONeil-gk1qv Год назад

Great video, I need to give this a try. I have quite the case of creeping charlie in my back yard

@TheLawnLover Год назад

It worked very well for me in only yeo applications and it remains gone this spring. Thanks for watching!

I’ve got a horrible violet problem in my lawn. Will this work for that? If not, what do you recommend. Thanks so much for your help

@TheLawnLover 2 года назад

Triclopyr is listed as an effective herbicide foe wild violet, but you may need repeated applications - especially if you have a bad outbreak of it in your lawn. Thanks for watching!

@veetrevino5887 4 месяца назад

Creeping charlie is growing in my vinca groundcover. Do you think it will kill the groundcover since its like an ivy as well?

Yes, I would avoid anything you want to keep alive with this stuff. It is very strong and will kill desirable plants. Thanks for watching!

@HarmonicResearch 11 месяцев назад

What will the Hi-Yield Trclopyr Ester do to my fruit bushes and trees?

@TheLawnLover 11 месяцев назад

I would not apply it within 5 feet or so around the bushes/trees. If you apply a light coat to the weeds as directed it should kill the weeds and not harm the trees/bushes, but I always like to be safe. Thanks for watching!

Too bad it kills clover. I'd like to use it on wild violets. Maybe I'll try spot spraying.

Yes, it will kill clover too. You can try spot spraying to target the wild violet. Thanks for watching!

@jordanjonz Год назад

How long after application is it safe for dogs to roam the yard?

@TheLawnLover Год назад

Typically, as with most herbicides, it is safe to re-enter the area after the product draws. I tend to spray most herbicides in the evening and let it sit overnight. Thanks for watching!

@zeke688 Год назад

hey there great video how many times should I spray also will it take care of dandelion??? jz

@TheLawnLover Год назад

I would not use this for dandelions use another herbicide - I like to use Triad select personally as am all around herbicide. Depending on how bad your case of creeping charlie is, it may take multiple applications. Mine took 2 applications to get rid of it spaced about 5 weeks apart. Thanks for watching!

@JaneWarren-i5p 11 месяцев назад

Will triclopyr ester kill skunk vines as well as creeping Charlie?

@TheLawnLover 11 месяцев назад

I'm not familiar with skunk vine, but according to research that I found online, triclopyr should kill it. If it doesn't work, your last resort would be glyphosphate - but using this would kill your good grass. Good luck!

@UNBOUNDED-zq9ul Год назад

WHEN can you reseed after using the product?

@TheLawnLover Год назад

As with most broadleaf herbicides, I would wait at least 6 weeks after application before planting seed. Thanks for watching!

Did you try the product?

@bladesofglorylawns 3 месяца назад

FYI you should mention this in the video, yes this Product will help wipe out some creeping Charlie. HOWEVER…..if you have Bermuda grass or prolly any other Warm season short cut turf. This product used in a flowzone 4 gallon backpack. You will literally draw your name in the lawn if you use this at the suggested rate on Bermuda, like it’s hurts it super bad or nukes it. It literally looked like every time hit the sprayer it looks exactly how roundup would look. Just fyi. Eventually I got the Bermuda to come back on the clients lawn but it took forever, lol, and it’s pronounced TRI….. clow……PEER. again I suggest using this product mainly on cool season turf

@TheLawnLover 3 месяца назад

Great point on the warm season turf, thank you for pointing that out! Glad the grass came back after you sprayed it haha. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment, much appreciated!

@bladesofglorylawns 3 месяца назад

@@TheLawnLover yes sir! Lost the client over it actually but it’s a good thing cause he was annoying anyways and he runs those giant red lava rocks in the beds without borders so even mowing the yard your taking your life into your own hands, so I didn’t care he fired me for drawing letters in his lawn lesson learned about triclopere on Bermuda tho

Thank you for posting this video on dealing with Creeping Charlie aka ground ivy. I was losing my wits on dealing with an infestation in my lawn. Followed your lead and I picked up Triclopyr concentrate and sprayed it (3/4 oz. / gallon water) today. Looking forward to the results.Thanks!

@TheLawnLover 11 месяцев назад

That's awesome, this stuff works perfectly. Just remember that depending on how bad you have it in your lawn, you may need a repeat application in about 4 to 6 weeks like I did. Good luck and thanks for watching!

@jeffhickox Год назад

Triclpyr is a main ingredient in crossbow (home depot). I had fair results, but it all grew back.

@TheLawnLover Год назад

In looking at the Crossboe label, it appears to be only 16.5% triclopyr, this product is 61.6% triclopyr. If you are going after creeping charlie, give this a shot. Mine remains completely gone almost a year later

@sophiecrowdy2932 5 месяцев назад

To add to the information that has been given by other folks. It's best to spray in the fall. This will weaken the plant over winter. The other time is after flowering in the spring. The plant will have used alot of energy to flower. If your neighbor has creeping charlie, ask if you can spray their lawn where it connects to your lawn. You will have to spray every year to stop theirs from creeping to your yard.

@TheLawnLover 5 месяцев назад

The neghbor won't let me spray, however after treating it with the triclopyr and coupling it with a pre emergent plan, it remains creeping charlie free back there. Thanks for watching!

@andrewmccleod7785 Месяц назад

I have this stuff creeping in my flower bed and it’s mixed in with my flowers. If I use this product, will it kill the grass also that it mixed itself in with

@TheLawnLover Месяц назад

If you apply as directed, it will NOT kill the majority of cool season grass types. You need to be careful with this herbicide on warm season grasses - check the label for specifics. I would be careful applying this in a flower bed to ensure you are not getting this herbicide on any desirable plants that you want to keep because it will kill them. Thanks for watching!
