Triple action did no action

Two weeks ago I bought this over advertised Triple action. Spent good money for 0 results. The weeds are laughing, the ants are marching and clover is flourishing. How do I get a refund?

reply from Customer Care

We are sorry to hear about your experience with Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action and appreciate your feedback. This product will not prevent broadleaf weeds (before or after the application) and it will not kill existing crabgrass or other grassy type weeds. For broadleaf weed control temperatures must be consistently (several days in a row) between 60 and 80 degrees. For listed grassy weeds to be prevented this has to be applied before the target grassy weeds germinate. A complete kill will take 2-4 weeks, depending on temperature conditions. 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 call 888-270-3714 for assistance.

Large chunks in bag

Normally have good success with this product. This time, large solid chunks in bag. I was able to break them up by hand. Based on other reviewers, something went wrong with Scott's production run this year.

Works well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are selling a house and needed Turf Builder to get the lawn looking decent, fast (without spending a lot of money). As expected, it worked well.

Terrible results

I put down four 50 pound bags and it is the worst lawn I have ever had. It is like the bag was filled with clover seeds. I have never had this issue and the broad leak weeds didn't get touched

Waste of money

I used triple action 4 weeks ago mainly for clover in my yard. I did nothing for clover and the dandelions still showed up, maybe not as many but still had some. Overall I think I'll try another brand next time.

Will purchase again.

Applied the product after about 3 days the dandelion stem where wilting. After mowing I haven't noticed any return of dandelion stems or weed. Very happy.

Useless and hatmful

Useless on weed. Plenty still on the lawn after 2 weeks. Harmful very fine powder flies off the spreader into your face. Beware, very irritating when you breath it.

Did nothing

I applied two bags 50lb bags to my lawn last week when the grass was wet, after the third mow, when it's been 60-70 degrees, and 30 hours before rain and it's done absolutely nothing...

Megan, we are sorry to hear about your experience with Scotts Turf Builder Triple Action. This product will only kill existing broadleaf weeds, it is not designed to prevent the growth of new broadleaf weeds. Also, this product will not kill grassy weeds but is only designed to prevent grassy weeds, such as crabgrass. Lastly, weeds may appear healthier for a few days after application but you should see weed death between 2-4 weeks. Despite this fact, 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.

Okay early on

I applied this product in the spring and it controlled the weeds pretty good. After 60-90 days weeds started to appear along with crab grass in some areas. It did seem to green up my grass some.

Works Great!

Product is consistent and has worked great on our lawn for over 7 years. We have Tall Fescue grass, and generally keep up with lawn maintenance throughout the year.
