    Crossbow: The strongest Herbicide I have found so far

    By Bob on 08/04/2014

    Verified Purchase

    Crossbow herbicide lived up to it's claim. My main reason for buying was to eradicate English Ivy. The leafs on English Ivy are waxy and it is very difficult for anything to penetrate. I have tried the usual things you would find at Home Depot, Lowes, etc. While crossbow has completely killed all my ivy, it has done the best job that anything else has. I have also used it as a general weed/brush killer and it will kill those things at a 100% kill rate.

    Excellent Control of Kudzu.

    By Matt on 09/04/2015

    In attempting to eradicate Kudzu on an acre of semi-wooded land I have used a number of herbicides with varying results. Crossbow has, by far, been the most effective. Using a 1.5% mixture for spot treatment, I have successfully killed the areas treated with a single application. The average time from application to a truly "dead" vine is approximately 10 days. On another section I used Roundup (Glyphosate) to compare their efficacy. While they both produce visible results, I would characterize the Roundup treated areas as "damaged" versus Crossbow's areas being totally killed. I would highly recommend this to anyone dealing with this difficult vine. This is the most cost effective and best option you can get without obtaining restricted-use herbicides.

    Crossbow

    By J on 09/06/2014

    Verified Purchase

    I bought this specifically for an invasion of creeping charlie in my lawn and it's working surprisingly well. It's also killing other broad leaf weeds with no effect on the grass. Good Product

    Good for brush and weeds

    By Larkin on 08/26/2015

    Great stuff. Don't expect it to act as fast as Round-Up, but give it time and in about 9-14 days, you will see results. It seems to kill everything but grass like it is supposed to.

    Kills any weed

    By Bruce on 12/21/2015

    I will only use for weeds. I used it on Blackberrys and it was wonderful. They started to wilt before I finished spraying and after 5 days I could pinch the vines that was bigger than my thumb and there was nothing but hollow vines I used on my lawn twice a year with great results

    Very happy with the results ( Wild Violet Invasion )

    By Aaron on 05/11/2015

    Verified Purchase

    2 year old lawn that has been completely redone, neighboring lawns also have wild violets. Ihave tried other products to kill a severe wild violet invasion In my turf grass (blue grass and fescue). None has even made them wilt. This is the first product that I have seen results. Wilting after 3 days then I noticed the edges dying back within 5 days. I still will need a second treatment to go back and hit the small plants that I missed. Mixed to the recommended rate and percentage solution for wild violets. I did notice some turf grass damage in some spots that I most likely over allied the product. A small price to pay for the results I've seen.

    Poison ivy!

    By Gary on 06/25/2017

    I bought this to control poison ivy, but it did much more.. This will control any broad leaf in the lawn and not bother the grasses.. My lawn has never looked better, and the woods are free of poison ivy.

    Works on Wild Violet

    By Lynn on 04/29/2017

    My yard was infested with wild violet - even my compost heap was covered. I did a lot of research about the main ingredient, Tryclopyr, and was comfortable using it in my yard where a dog and children play. The product worked as intended. Within two days the wild violets began wilting, two weeks later they are browning. My grass was not harmed, neither were any of my fledgling perennials as they break through the ground. There was no collateral damage to any other plants. I am aware I will need to repeat the spraying at least a couple of more times in the mean time, this product is also meant to eradicate Japanese knot weed, so I am going to begin cutting stalks and applying it to the stems and will update this review as I progress. This is another multi-application process.

    Works very well on "brambles"

    By Gary on 04/04/2017

    Was hesitant but this actually worked better than I expected. We have a semi-cleared forested area that had all the lower scrub cleared but the Pines/Oaks/Elms and other good trees remain. Unfortunately, the floor of the area was a welcoming environment for brambles. This killed them and other weeds that are trying grow in the newly cleared area.

    Crossbow 2,4-D &Triclopyr

    By John on 09/28/2016

    This product works. Kills Chinese Elm regrowth around stumps quickly by drilling holes into lower stump & exposed roots then injecting product into holes. Mixed with diesel fuel will last me a few years. Cheaper in the long run than the 'popular' big store products. Works on other weeds too.

    Great herbicide for buckthorn.

    By Shad on 09/07/2018

    I was really impressed with Crossbow. I used it to eliminate some large stands of buckthorn. It worked quickly, made a complete kill of the plants and did not require a second application. It's cost effective and I'll probably continue to use it for my turf to get rid of broadleaf weeds.

    Delivered Quickly

    By Russ on 08/08/2020

    I already knew what the product is capable of, it is very effective at eliminating brush, and after three years the pricker bushes I killed have not come back. It's getting harder to find this product, I hope it doesn't get pulled from the consumer market.

    Nice product and really works

    By Hogan on 04/03/2020

    I bought it to kill broadleaf weed in in my lawn, I followed the instruction and started to see the weed drying and turned to yellow in about 3, 4 days. I need to apply the second time after 3 weeks as I missed some when I applied it first time.

    crossbow and scotch broom

    By Kenyon on 06/21/2017

    scotch broom is nasty. It's invasive and just doesn't care. Score one for crossbow. Just one treatment and 24 hours later the leaves were wilted and the stems sagging. I recommend it highly

    Crossbow review

    By Thomas on 08/28/2020

    This product worked great with the vines and brush in my backyard. Killed everything pretty fast. I have a large wooded section so I used it with the Mosquito Sniper System + a blower and backpack sprayer to really just broadcast on everything and even high up the fines on the trees. Worked great!
