Effective crabgrass killer that makes lawn care easier
This BASF Drive XLR8 concentrate worked well on crabgrass and other weeds when used as directed. I mixed it according to the instructions and applied it one morning before rain, and within a week I could see new crabgrass failing to pop up while other weeds had shriveled noticeably. It spreads easily through a handheld sprayer and blends in well with water so it doesn’t clog sprayers or leave streaks.One small drawback is that the smell is a bit strong during application so I recommend wearing a mask or staying upwind while spraying. Otherwise it handles well and rinses off equipment easily. I also liked that it offers up to thirty days of residual control meaning fewer repeat applications over the season. Overall this herbicide gets the job done without fuss and gives a noticeable improvement in lawn health. Four stars because of the odor but otherwise solid performance.

Great product for crab grass
This is a great product for crab grass. Less than 24 hours and crab grass is yellowing. You need to use a sticker with it. Also will work on broadleaf and some clover. Won’t touch spurge weed

Drive XLR8 Crabgrass Killer
This is the best product I have found to kill crabgrass. It really works and you can see the effects in 2-3 days. It also kills many broad leaf weeds if you are so inclined. I would recommend to use a surfactant. Also I would use a dye if you are going to spray with a hand held tank sprayer.

Works well on crabgrass in Bermuda lawns
First product that I have used that actually kills crabgrass dead and leaves the Bermuda grass alone. I mix 3 tablespoons of herbicide and 1 tablespoon of surfactant per gallon of water.

Works great as a post emergent
It does the job. Best if used before crab grass goes to seed

Finally—Something That Actually Works!
I’m normally not the type to write reviews, but I had to share my experience with this product. I recently spent a ton of money putting sod in my new Florida home, mainly for my dog to enjoy. Unfortunately, I found out the hard way that west coast Florida soil is super sandy and doesn’t hold nutrients well—meaning it needs constant fertilizing.Fast forward less than a year and my brand-new lawn was practically dead, completely overtaken by crabgrass. I tried everything—reseeding, watering, treatments—but nothing worked. It was heartbreaking watching it all go to waste.Then, almost by accident, I stumbled across this product on Amazon. The listing seemed professional, so I figured: why not? I mixed it with water and sprayed it as instructed.No exaggeration—within 48 hours I saw crabgrass starting to whiten. I was stunned. I grabbed a rake (which I’ve done many times before with no effect), and this time, the crabgrass just pulled right up. I mean effortlessly came clean—like butter. My entire walkway, which was covered in crabgrass, I frankly didn't know how bad it was/ how much we had.This junk was suffocating my lawn, and now it’s finally out of the way. I don’t know yet how this will affect new seed or freshly planted sod, but I’ll definitely update my review after a few weeks.So far, highly recommended. If you’re fighting a losing battle with Florida soil and crabgrass like I was—give this a try. Total game changer.

NEVER AGAIN! You've been warned
DID NOT WORK! After reading all of the positive reviews on this product I was sold on itt thanking it would pay for itself in the long run instead of buying the other products at the local Farm store. I measured the square footage of my yard exactly and mixed the product as instructed according to the square footage I was spraying. There was no noticable change in the crabgrass in the first 3 days. I searched online and read where it could take up to 3 weeks to show results. Well it's been 6 weeks and there is absolutely no evidence that Drive XLR8 worked at all.I've owned a landscape business in the past and I have used products that actually worked that I had bought from Rural King at a fraction of the cost. I am not an ignorant home owner that has never used chemicals before. I've worked in 2 different chemical manufacturing plants and own 20 acres that I apply gallons of weed killer to every year so I know a great deal about lawn care. I know for a fact that I applied this product exactly as the directions instructed using bean oil as a surfactant and measured the yard accurately. I also sprayed in ideal weather conditions as it was not too dry or too wet. I've found in a lot of other products that they weren't effective if it was too dry out as the target weeds are sort of dormant when it's dry out.This was a very expensive product that simply did not work at all for me. I read all of the reviews and felt very confident that this product would work good and would be worth the high price that it cost. I will never make that mistake again this product is way overpriced for not showing any results at all. Maybe I simply got a bad or old batch but be very cautious of paying a lot of money for something that will not work.

Patience
This is good stuff. I have sprayed twice over the last week & the crab grass is clearly dying or dead now. It doesn't happen immediately so impatient people might think it isn't working so just be patient - it works & it works well.
