DOW Snapshot 2.5 TG Granular Pre-emergent Herbicide

Worked wonderful on our oawn

Product as described. Fast delivery.

I bought this after doing a lot of reading up on products that hinder weed growth. Many people stated this was the best, covered the most types of weeds and lasts longer than Preen. The downside is, it can only be purchased in an enormous bag that is way more than I need for my gardens. It's expensive at this size. It'll last for several years for me.

This has worked in the AZ desert against Globe Camomile. GC is extremely hardy and pre-emergents work best to keep it in check. However, it requires a hand crank spreader in my uneven ground. And handling a 50 pound bag and pouring it into the container can be an issue.

As one of the developers of this product during my working life with DowElanco (Now Dow AgroSciences), Snapshot is a very unique preemergence herbicide. It can be safely applied overtop of numerous ornamental plants to control germinating weed seeds. It will not injure the existing ornamental plant species and will then control any germinating weed seeds. Properly used according to its label instructions it will keep all your ornamental beds weed free.

This was recommended by a fellow hybridizer who used it on multiple acres. I use it on smaller hybridizing plots and it seems to work quite well. However it does not work on such things as quack grass which I deal with separately.I apply it in Fall and Spring, just as vegetation has gone down or before it starts. I follow the dosing directions. I also use a full mask with eye protection because the silica can cause lung injury or worse. Simply follow the instructions.I would strongly recommend this product for general purpose use for the species as indicated and taking the precautions as stated. I also wear nitrile gloves, long trousers and shirts and wash cloting immediatly upon completion. Just watch out for the silica.

So we have a large property in the woods with tons of flower beds etc. Weeds are a BIG PROBLEM where we live. My husband works in construction and his professional landscaper vendor told us about Snapshot. He said preen only lasts about 3 months and Snapshot lasts 9 months!!! The full season if you put it down at the right time of year. It's a bit expensive but it's worth saving you the backbreaking time pulling weeds.Here's the important thing - do not put it down until you get at least 1/2" of rain that night or the next day or so.Or I guess if you are doing a smaller-ish area you could just water heavily.I LOVE this stuff and highly recommend it.Also - be sure to take precautions to protect your skin etc - just like preen and the others - this is a chemical

This is the most effective pre-emergent that I have ever used. Highly recommended.
