Ranger Pro Herbicide - 2.5 Gallons - Questions & Answers

What happens if too much Ranger Pro is applied?
I applied the product, waited 4-5 days, and did not see results. So I reapplied the Ranger Pro. Turns out the first time I applied it was too cool and cloudy, so the product wasn't very effective. And the second time I applied it was very warm and sunny, at which point it worked well! But, I'm afraid I have applied too much? What will happen?

Ranger Pro pretty much only stays active while it is wet. Once dried the active ingredient has already done its job and will start to degrade. You shouldn't see negative results at this point.

After killing the weeds with Ranger Pro Herbicide, can something be planted there and survive?
Also can you spray around established or new plants to kill the weeds around them w/o killing the plants or shrubs?

You can replant after 14 days in areas that have been treated with Ranger Pro. Any plant that is directly contacted with Ranger Pro will be killed. If you are spraying near desirable plants you should make sure you are not doing so on a windy day and you should block the desirable plant with a piece of cardboard or other shield.

Products containing glyphosate like Ranger Pro would likely kill the weeds and the asiatic jasmine because it is non-selective. Snaposhot 2.5 TG would be a good choice for a broad spectrum pre-emergent around Asiatic Jasmine. Fusilade II should be used if you need a broad spectrum post-emergent selective herbicide.

Is Ranger Pro Herbicide good on dormant bermuda in the Atlanta, Georgia area?
I have few weed everywhere in yard. Can i apply this product in yard with end hose sprayer on dormant bermuda grass. Its is still 50 degrees temp and grass has no sign of green.

You can apply for weed control if the grass is dormant but we just had some of the major manufacturers of glyphosate products come in and they have indicated that Bermuda grasses in GA, if you look all the way down near the root, have already started to green up and may be damaged by broadcast sprays of glyphosate products like Ranger. You may want to only spot treat the weeds if this is indeed the case.

Can I use Ranger Pro in my lawn without damage to my Bermuda grass?
I have some type of weed taking over my lawn. Frost doesn't kill it off. Should I spray now or wait till warmer weather. I live in alma Arkansas. Thanks.

Ranger will kill just about any type of plant it is sprayed on though it will not likely kill plants that are dormant including the weed. You will need to wait until the weed is actively growing to kill it with Ranger. You should avoid spraying desirable plants.

No, if you follow the product label and keep pets out of the area during the application and until the area is dry, Ranger Pro Herbicicde will not be harmful to pets.

Will Ranger Pro kill fescue?
I have 30 acres covered on fescue. Now that Bermuda is dormant can I proceed with killing fescue. At what mixing do I mix to get enough concentrate to go after fescue

Ranger Pro will kill just about any grass that is actively growing including fescue.

how much area will 2.5 gal of ranger pro kill vegation?
what is the mixing rate?

The usage rate will vary greatly depending on what and where you are treating. You can use a 2/3 of an oz per gallon rate - undiluted for harder jobs. Please read over the Ranger Pro product label to see what usage rate you will require for your needs to see how far the product will go for you. In general one 2.5 gallon can treat several acres at the 2/3 of an oz usage rate.

Need quick kill for Crabgrass in St.Agustine?
Please recommend a product.

Unfortunately their is not a selective product that will remove crabgrass from St. Augustine.  St. Augustine is a very fragile grass, and so most selective products that are labeled to remove crabgrass and not your real grass, will hurt the St. Augustine.  It is recommended to kill the crabgrass with a round up type product, like Ranger Pro, which will also kill just the St. Augustine around the crabgrass that it is sprayed on, and then a couple weeks later re-seed those areas with new St. Augustine.

For long term control though, you should apply a pre-emergent in the late fall and early spring which will prevent new crabgrass from coming up next year.  If you apply pre-emergent every year, you should not have issues with crabgrass long term.  Barricade is one of our most popular pre-emergents for crabgrass.

Ranger Pro should not harm insects or birds unless they are sprayed with the product or contact areas before they have dried. Ranger can be harmful to fish if it is applied to bodies of water which is against the product label instructions. Ranger Pro is labeled for use in wildlife areas and in wildlife food plots.

The usage rates will vary depending on the type of plant you are trying to eliminate. Please refer to the Ranger pro product label to determine the usage rate that will work best for your needs. The usage rates vary from 2/3 fl oz per gal - 10 fl oz per gallon depending on what/where you are treating.

Like most herbicides, Ranger Pro does not have an expiration date. You should plan to use up the bottle of Ranger Pro within 3 years of purchase for best results. Please let us know what type of vegetation you are trying to get rid of and where you will be treating so we can offer you a product recommendation for long term control.

Ranger Pro can be used in and around a vegetable garden plot (keep away from any desirable plants) but you should wait at least two weeks before you plant anything in the area where the product was applied.

We carry several different brands of soil sterilants and they are all concentrates as is the Ranger Pro. You can read the mixing instructions by clicking on the Product Label links under the picture of the products on the product description pages. You will use 2/3 fl oz -13 fl oz of Ranger Pro per gallon of water depending on what plants you are trying to eliminate. Please read the Ranger Pro product label for complete usage instructions.

What ratio per gallon of Ranger Pro should the average homeowner mix to control normal weed growth?
I've been using roundup concentrate in the past, at @ 3 oz. per gallon in my sprayer. I've just tried out Ranger Pro at @ the same ratio, but it doesn't appear to work the same. By all accounts, this is the same product under a different name. Should I be expecting the same results?

Ranger Pro is comparable to Round Up but each manufacturer does have their own recommended usage rates. Ranger Pro moves through the plant from the point of foliage contact to and into the root system. Visible effects are a gradual wilting and yellowing of the plant, which advances to complete browning of above ground growth and deterioration of underground plant parts. Effects are visible on most annual weeds within 2 to 4 days, but on most perennial weeds, effects may not be visible for 7 days or more. Extremely cool or cloudy weather following treatment may slow activity of this product and delay development of visual symptoms. The amount of Ranger Pro Herbicide you will use per gallon of water will vary from 2/3 fl oz - 13 fl oz per gallon of water depending on what type of plant you are trying to eliminate. Please refer to the Ranger Pro product label for exact usage instructions.

Glyphosate products like Ranger Pro, Round Up, etc do not stay active in the soil very long at all.  You can replant after as little as two weeks after applying a glyphosate product. 

Ranger Pro is a glyphosate product, so it is meant to kill anything it touches.  So yes, it will kill annual bluegrass, but it will also kill any other grass that it touches.

Ranger Pro Herbicide is not labeled for aquatic use. We do carry Diquat Water Weed and Landscape Herbicide, Reward Land and Aquatic Herbicide and Rodeo Herbicide which are labeled for use in and around bodies of water.

If you are just looking to kill existing grass in a small area, you should treat with a professional glyphosate product like our Ranger Pro product.  This kills grass for longer than typical round up, but eventually it will grow back.  If you really do not want anything to grow back, you can use a soil sterilant.  These products need to be used according to the label though, they are very powerful and can move through the soil, so if there is anything around the posts you would want to not kill, you should not use a soil sterilant. 

When treating for creeping charlie it is best to usually spot treat the growth with a glyphosate or round up type product.  This is the best option.  This would be if it is growing in ornamental areas or places where you can treat it individually.  If that is not an option and it is growing into your grass, you can use Speedzone herbicide which is labeled for selectively killing weeds in turf grass.
