Garbage

Did not do as advertised; what a waste of money. I now have more weeds than ever. I would not recommend this product to anyone.

We are sorry to hear about your experience with Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action. For optimal performance this product should only be applied when temperatures are consistently between 60-80 degrees. Additionally, To kill existing broadleaf weeds it is extremely important that the lawn was moist during application. To prevent additional grassy weeds the product should have been watered in at least 24 hours after application. Lastly, it is common for the weeds to appear healthier for a few days after application, but you should then see weed death between 2-4 weeks after application. That being said, we want you to be confident in our products and we stand by the promises made in our advertisements. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee to our consumers. At your earliest convenience, please call 888-270-3714, and reference this product review for assistance.

We are sorry to hear of your experience with Scotts Turf Builder Northern Triple Action. A powdery product will not go through the spreader properly and the time release may have been compromised. If you start to notice any negative effects, we recommend a watering program of 1/2 an inch of water every 3 days for 3 weeks. Your lawn should recover over time. We want you to be aware that we do back our product with a product guarantee. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you would like to speak further about this.

We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action(I) and appreciate your feedback. The active ingredients trigger uncontrolled plant growth that causes the weeds listed on the label to die. You should notice the weeds begin to curl and yellow a few days after application due to this excessive growth. The weeds will die within a 2-to-4 week period, depending on temperature conditions. When applying, the lawn must be wet for the product to stick to the broadleaf weed leaves. The product must remain on the weed leaves for 24 hours. After the first 24 hours, the product must be watered in. For broadleaf weed control, temperatures must be consistently (several days in a row) between 60 and 80°F. For listed grassy weeds to be prevented, this has to be applied before the target grassy weeds germinate. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee to our consumers. At your earliest convenience, please reach out to us at 888-270-3714 if we can further assist.

Doesn't work

I've used this product for two years and I have the best crop of dandelions and other various weeds in the neighborhood. Don't waste your money.
