Tried this product on a small patch of weeds and took a 1 hour photo. As you can see there is definitely some 'dying' going on; but I wouldn't say they are dead in an hour. But it is really working so that's good. The spot treatment spray design was simple and easy to use and I liked having it for small areas and not have to lug around the jug.

I received a reimbursement for this product to leave an honest review. I followed the instructions for application and within one hour there was a noticeable difference in the weeds around my patio. The base of the weeds and the leaves were turning dark and brown. By the next morning, all the weeds I sprayed were completely brown and appeared dead. All that was left to do was pick them from my stones for disposal. This works much quicker than other weed killers I've recently sprayed around my yard. I'm not sure how many bottles of Spruce I'll need to treat all the weeds in and around my yard, but the product is affordable enough so I can buy a few of them to get the job done. I hate to wait for days and / or up to a week for my weeds to die so they can be disposed of. I'm impressed with the product and I would definitely buy this again to treat the stubborn weeds that keep coming back. Now I want to see if the product I've sprayed will prevent more weeds from returning to the same spots between my bricks.

I sprayed some weeds on a retaining wall we have and checked them an hour and a half later. The weeds were dead! This did have a strong odor, but it was not unpleasant like most chemical weed killers. I received a reimbursement for this product to leave an honest review.

I received this product for testing purposes and this is my honest opinion. I don't normally use weed-killer products because they are toxic and can harm the bees and destroy the soil, so I was interested in trying a product that is safe to use around pets. We are in between lawn services, so the weeds on the fence line have gotten a bit out of control and even when we did have lawn service, it was impossible to remove all the weeds because it is a chain link fence. The product was easy to use and the instructions were clear, but I recommend using a face mask so you don't inhale any of it. It has been windy lately so it was hard to spray and make sure that the product wouldn't be carried away by the wind. I found the smell to be very strong. Not unpleasant, per se, but very strong and it persisted until the next day and I could even smell it in my house. I am guessing that was the Geraniol I was smelling. I initially wanted to try it only in one small area, but eventually, I sprayed it along the front yard fence and also in a small area overgrown with weeds. I don't think the pictures do it justice, because the lighting was not helping, but the first picture shows the "Before" at the beginning of the fence, and the rest of the photos show the "After" along the entire fence. It might have taken a little longer than an hour for them to dry out, but they did dry out. It dried out both weeds and grass. There are areas that are still green, but that's because they weren't sprayed enough, I am sure. You can see a lot of yellowed weeds and grass in the photos. So it is definitely efficient. It gets 5 stars for how it works and how quick it is, but I did deduct one star because the scent is very strong and it gave me a headache.

Overall Impression: Spruce Weed Killer did a pretty good job of killing large-leaf weeds within the tested One Hour test period, per instructions. Dandelions were completely dead in 1 hour, as were other larger-leafed weeds. I tested Spruce on some grass that was growing on the curb, and while it DID have some effect within the one hour, it did not appear dead -- yet. The next day, it too was dead. One nice feature is that Spruce has a pleasant, herbal smell, not at all like the typical Round-Up odor. Big plus in my book. The package indicates it is pet safe ... which I did not test, for obvious reasons .. but if so, that would be superior to anything else I have used.

I received a reimbursement for this product to leave an honest review: Just received this a few days ago and I do have to say I was impressed. The smaller bottle inside is PERFECT for quick jobs. I applied the product (be sure to spray ALL of the platn; including the leaves). Within 1 hour the weeds were wilted/brown/dying. After a few hours, they were completely dead. Very impressed with how quickly it worked and it SMELLS NICE! The smell was a pleasant surprise as we do sit on our patio daily and previous weed killers left a lingering (bad) smell. This product does not. It is pleasantly scented and the odor does not linger. Also love that it is kid and pet friendly as we have 2 dogs, a turtle, and children that are in our yard daily. I would definitely purchase and use this product again and can highly recommend it for it's effectiveness, pleasant smell, and pet/kid friendly.

I am so so amazed with this product! I was really doubting the 1 hour results claim with this product, but, low and behold.... it worked!! And it worked much quicker than in the hour time frame. It was so easy to understand how to use the sprayer and apply it to the areas you wanted to. The fragrance isn't that bad, it smells a little citrusy with a little tinge of chemicals in the background. Do stay in a well ventilated area when using the product. After spraying the weeds I wanted to treat, I went out after 30 minutes and the product had already did what it claimed to do in an hour! I was so impressed and excited!! This is a must buy for anyone wanting to control weeds in their yard and surrounding areas! It really works!!

I received reimbursement for an honest opinion of this product The product is very fast at knocking those stubborn winter weeds down. The bottle itself very easy to carry and the sprayer does have decent amount of line in case you need to sit it down, didn't leak while using. Went out and sprayed an area where they are persistent each year and came back out after an hour and it works! very fast and safer then using the other brand that is not so friendly to our pets and ourselves. Would not mind purchasing this product because I know it works and works fast! very excited to see how it works on the kosher weeds this summer!

I received a request to test this product and leave an honest review. I was pleasantly surprised with the effectiveness of Spruce. I have some pretty tough weeds that are hard to kill. Product says it shows visible results in about an hour, so I took photos at exactly the hour mark. It absolutely shows results within an hour. While it has a very strong odor, it is not unpleasant. Very citrusy. The design of the sprayer is amazing. This is the best packaging I have ever used. It does not kill some types of grassy weeds, but it seems to work when used as directed. I love the fact it is pet friendly. I would use this again.

I received a reimbursement for this product to leave an honest review. I received the weed and grass killer and tried it instantly. I would recommend this to anyone having issue with weeds in their grass. it works really well at drying out the weeds.
