So it'll just grow back. I follow a rigorous spray schedule, with spray every other day for a week. And follow up a month later. But dandelions just come back after a few month. Ended up paying hundreds of dollars for this and still have a lawn full of dandelions.

What's worse, the manufacturer has diluted the solution but renamed the product Weed B Gone "MAX" in the last year or two, and raised the price. Stay away from this.

I've heard about Killex. But some provinces ban it for home use. So check your local regulations carefully if you don't want to risk that "knock on the door". Evidence of usage is pretty easy to collect since it'll be all over your lawn and your neighbour's security camera can inadvertently film you spraying.

Personally, I've switched to the Fiskars weed puller. Get the stainless steel 4 claw model. Will run you appx $50 initially. But as long as you don't break it, it'll last many years and remove the dandelion or plantain with root. Most other weeds can be crowded out by grass itself.

I have zero dandelions and zero clover, came from having 60-70% of my lawn full of dandelions and clover. now I just have nice thick grass. I did obviously over seed as well.

I spread it after 10pm so no one walking their dogs and I know bunch of people in my area that use it as the recommendation came from those with nice lawns lol

It smells for about 20-30 minutes and then its clear.
