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 recently tried this product on some weeds that were coming up through the patio around the pool. I sprayed the weeds and then went back to check them after only one hour. I could not believe the results. What was vibrant green weeds turned into black remnants of what appeared to be dead vegetation. Quite surprised at the effectiveness of this product. As a bonus, I have 3 small dogs that were not interested in the product at all.

I received a reimbursement for this product to leave an honest review. The sprayer options are easy to use. You have great control over the spray of the product. The smell is not offensive. My dog ignored the areas where I sprayed the product. The weeds showed signs of decay within an hour of spraying them. I look forward to using this in other areas in my yard for good results.

I had a lot of weeds in my landscaping, and I needed a good product to get rid of them. I don't like to use chemicals, so I normally stay away from weed killer. I looked up the ingredients of Spruce, and they all seemed pretty safe, so I sprayed it on all my weeds. I was pleasantly surprised at the smell. It smells like essential oils. I checked on it an hour later, and most of them had already started turning brown. The next day I checked again, and all were dead except for a couple that didn't look any different. I think I just didn't spray enough on the first ones. Or they were just stubborn weeds. I sprayed them again, and a few hours later, they were dead as well. Overall, I think this is a good product and will continue using it!

I was part of a group that tested this product. I'm usually a little skeptical of this type of product that claims that it works in 1 hour. Spruce actually worked very well for me. I tried it as directed in three spots and came back in 1 hour to check on the results. Two of the spots were wilted to almost nothing and the third spot was Johnson Grass and it was turning yellow and starting to wilt. Have to say that I was pleased with the results. Spruce was easy to use also.

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.

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.

Not the best weed killer, but if you have kids and/or pets, it's a must have and a great natural weed and grass killer! You can see results around an hour, and everything is mostly dead by the 24 hour mark. I can use this around the house and flower beds without worrying about my children getting into it or any neighbor pets.

I received a reimbursement for this product to leave an honest review. I was excited to try something that was not harmful to people or animals, but I was very disappointed. I could not tell any difference after using this product. I would not recommend this product.

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.
