    Great Product!

    By Tim on 05/26/2011

    Verified Purchase

    This Over the Top II is a great product that works very well as long as you follow the instructions to the letter. You must use an oil additive with it, such as Spreader Sticker, because all grass, even crab grass, has a waxy coating that causes water and chemicals to bead up and run off, thus greatly reducing the effectiveness of any chemical. I used Spreader Sticker with the Over the Top II and all of the crab grass that I sprayed had stopped growing after 24 hours and was completely dead within 10 days. Of course I sprayed the crab grass when it was still relatively small. It also worked, with the same result, on the Bermuda grass I sprayed.

    Did the job

    By Charles on 10/13/2012

    Have been looking for something to get rid of the Bermudia grass in my lawn without killing my Cenipede grass. Tried this product and it eliminated the problem. It did so well that some of my neighbors saw what happened to my lawn and now they are using this product as well.

    It Works!

    By Bill on 07/07/2012

    Verified Purchase

    I am currently using this product to kill the grass that is growing in my Strawberry Groundcover. It looks like it is working. I was dubious, since I could not find an Ortho or Monsanto product that claimed to kill grass but leave groundcover unharmed. However, I am also incredibly lazy, so I decided to try it. It works.

    Great Stuff

    I bought more only because I missed spots with the 1st bottle. Takes about 2 weeks to kill the bermuda grass in my centipede. As I walk around the yard I see I'll have to buy another bottle, but it works!

    Excellent Product

    By James on 06/05/2018

    Verified Purchase

    I used this with the wetting agent on grass growing in pachysandra that had been impossible to remove even by getting it out at the roots. It took perhaps two weeks and in a few cases a second treatment but the grass died the the ground cover was fine. A very useful product.

    Great Stuff!

    By Owen on 08/18/2016

    Bought to eradicate extensive amounts of crabgrass and stilt grass that had invaded my Tall Fescue lawn (or what was left of the lawn). Sprayed this mixed with Spreader-Sticker in a pump sprayer before the crabgrass went to seed. Stopped all growth (haven't had to mow at all) and starting turning brown within 3 days. After a week, every crabgrass was brown or well on it's way. Lawn looks like heck (no more green) but the lack of rain hasn't helped either. Next up is aeration and overseed. Raleigh NC

    Works on crabgrass in centipede

    By Steve on 08/03/2018

    Followed the directions on the bottle and added the Hi-Yield Spreader Sticker to ensure the chemical stuck to the grass. Killed the crabgrass and a small patch of Bermuda grass but had no effect on the centipede. As with crab grass, unless you put down a pre-emerginent treatment you will need to respray again to kill additional patches that grow from the seeds from the plants the first treatment killed. Great product!

    Amazing results!

    By Barbara on 05/23/2019

    I had been so discouraged these last several years manually fighting what I think was Johnson Grass growing throughout my daylily beds. Was ready to pull them all up if necessary. When I found Over-the Top II during a web search I had high hopes it might be the answer to my problem. Used it with a sticker and it rained about 3 hours after application. Watched for results and didn't lose patience - it took almost 2 weeks, but like a miracle, the grass turned brown and died. Now, a month later, no sign of that dreadful grass ruining the appearance of my lily beds.

    Effective on Woods Grass!

    By Brad on 09/13/2018

    This product deserves all 5 stars for being effective on woods grass even though it's not on listed on this product label. Week 1 turns it yellow, week 2-3 turns it purple. The woods grass is very tough stuff but Sethoxydim stunts its growth immediately, then slowly deteriorates it over time. Very pleased that I don't have to resort to roundup, and I can salvage my Centipede lawn.

    Killed Grass Growing in Asiatic Jasmine Groundcover

    By Jack on 07/26/2023

    Verified Purchase

    I have two large areas of Asiatic Jasmine groundcover where grass was growing through it. It's impossible to pull the grass out. None of the local Nurseries had a clue of anything that can selectively kill the grass without harming the Jasmine. I was considering pulling out the Jasmine & grass and replanting the areas (ugh!). Searched the internet & found Over the Top. I've treated the areas probably 5-6 times over the last month and I'm now seeing the grass die, without harming the Jasmine. In my case, it was very slow acting & you have to stay at it. Overall, very happy - saved a ton of work.
