Hi-Yield 2, 4-D Selective Weed Killer
By Sara on July 18, 2011The buyer of the gallon size should be aware that the percentage of 2, 4-D is much less than in the quart size.

Works without killing my grass
By Beth on April 22, 2012I ordered 2,4-D and had my order is like two days. However when I opened it, it was a bug control product. I called customer service and mailed me another gallon in the next two days. I received a return postage for the incorrect product - so just wanted to say the customer service was outstanding. The product works good, it doesn't harm the grass. I have applied twice to the area. The weather has been cooler than normal and I am wondering if it was warmer, if the results would have been faster.

Killing Wild Strawberry
By George on May 13, 2012I used the 2, 4-D in a pump sprayer to allow me to be more precise in getting the poison onto the weeds. A hose sprayer would have been less selective. It worked as advertised. I used 1 tablespoon per cup of water.

Got rid of it
By Art on October 17, 2012
Verified PurchasePurchased 2,4-D to kill " COW " grass or also known as DALLAS grass. . In the past I just would dig those clumps up. However this year the Cow Grass overwhelmed me and decided the 2, 4-D approach. After several application the Weed Killer has done the trick. Even tough it did affect some of the surrounding Zoya grass it is the right way for me to control this WEED. The Zoya grass has since also started to grow back. Good reddens COW or DALLas grass.

Ornamental peanut (aka Golden Glory, Arachis Pontoi)
By Barry on October 22, 2012
Verified PurchaseI researched online for a selective weed killer that would not kill the ornamental peanut plants in my yard. These plants are also used as cattle forage in Florida and are used in many of the medians in Pinellas County. On the UF site, 2,D-4 was recommended. I further checked with the County Extension Office and after listing the weeds amongst the plants, I was advised that 2,4-D was a good selective broad leaf weed killer. Guess what?? It killed all the peanut plants as well as the broadleaf weeds.

Great Ordering and Shipment, But "kill" Info Lacking
By Larry on September 16, 2012Ordering and shipping through this company is the best I have ever experienced. However, the information that came with the product I ordered (Hi-Yield 2, 4-D weed killer) included absolutely no indication when "kill" results should be seen. Following the directions with great care, I hit the weeds (Rush Skeleton Weed) five days ago. So far there is no indication of results.
Pesky Weeds
By Steve on May 9, 2013
Verified PurchaseThis product seems to get rid of most of the basic weed groups. There are a few weeds in my yard that require a specialized product. Nut grass, etc., but this product works well. Also, DoMyOwnPestControl has great prices and fantastic shipping. Will be purchasing from them again as needed.

April 7, 2011 Alexander asked:
QCan I put down my grass plugs after spraying with Hi-Yield 2, 4-D Selective Weed Killer?
I have dollar weeds that are hard to get rid of. I purchased the Hi-Yield 2, 4-D Selective Weed Killer on the advice of a gardener. I also need the mixture formula for a 2 gal pump up sprayer. I have a pint of Hi-Yield 2, 4-D Selective Weed Killer and my area is about 1,000 to 1,500 sq. ft.
AThe Hi-Yield 2, 4-D Selective Weed Killer product label says to use a 1/4 pint in at least 3 gallons of water to treat smaller areas like what you are describing. You should mow 1 to 2 days before application. You should not put down grass plugs for at least 3 weeks after using this product.
June 4, 2011 Debra asked:
QIs there an expiration date for Hi-Yield weed killer?
AInsecticides and Herbicides do not have an expiration date. Most all insecticides and herbicides are made to last for years and years on the shelf. Most all will last at least 5 years as long as you keep the lid on tight and keep it out of direct sunlight and areas of high heat. You should shake the bottle to prevent settling of active ingredients every few months to extend the life of the product in the bottle.

QWe have aster in a pasture that has taken over an area.
I see aster listed on the label, however, we want to reseed - I see where it's not recommended until the following season - any other killer option to recommend?

While you cannot apply to newly seeded lawns, new seed can be sown 3-4 weeks after you apply this product. The label for this product will specify how much to use per area according to what turf you are applying over that you are trying to keep.

Grant from Calamus, Iowa asked:
QIs Hi-Yield 2, 4-D safe to use on eastern white pine seedlings and wild plum seedling?
I have 600 eastern white pine seedlings and 100 wild plum seedlings that will be planted in April and I am looking for a selective herbicide to spray that will control the unwanted grasses in the field so that the seedlings will have less competition. Is Hi-Yield 2, 4-D the correct product to use? I plan to burn the field, till the planting area, wait for new growth and then spray. This will be followed by planting the seedlings and applying a maintenance herbicide to keep the grasses at bay.
AWe would not recommend using 2,4-D within 30 days of planting as any residue left in the soil would potentially damage the seedlings. If you can wait longer than a month (more like 6 weeks), then it could be considered as an option; otherwise, don’t do it. Applying Glyphosate (Glyphosel Pro or Kill-Zall) a week or so ahead of the plantings to kill the existing weeds would most likely be your best option. Glyphosate has no soil residual activity so you can plant a week or so after application.

Lester from Fallon, Nev. asked:
QWhen do you water in Hi-Yield 2, 4-D Selective Weed Killer?

March 11, 2012
Ada from Lilburn, Ga asked:
QCan I use a hose sprayer with this product, such as Ortho Dial & Spray? If so, should I set it at 3 or 4?
AYou can use a hose end sprayer to apply this product, that is not a problem. The instructions call for 3 to 4 ounces per 1000 square feet, not per gallon. If you set your dial to a 3 or 4, then that mixes 3 to 4 ounces per gallon of water. This is fine, IF you can properly make the 4 ounces cover the 1000 square feet. You should place water in the reservoir to see how many gallons it takes you to cover the 1000 square feet first so you don't burn your grass.
