    Placebo herbicide

    By Ryan on 03/31/2019

    I had really high hopes for Tenacity after reading the reviews. I also purchased the recommended surfactant and blue dye. After 3 weeks, none of the weeds have shown ANY signs of dying or deformation. I even selected a secluded section of the yard that was basically entirely weed covered and doubled the recommended amount used. The weeds continue to grow at the same pace as untreated sections of my yard. Including the pump sprayer I purchased to apply this product, I spent about $150 to control the weeds in my yard. Every penny I spent appears to be a penny wasted. I would not recommend tenacity.

    Only works temporarily

    By Gary on 09/10/2014

    It did work as advertised but the bentgrass came right back 100% in the same spots within 30 days. This product was applied professionally for two applications.

    Tenacity & Surfactant

    By Tony on 08/02/2019

    I was told the above mentioned products would not kill my lawn, only the clover. Followed the instructions closely. Well they were all wrong, some clover died, but so did most of the lawn. Sorry to say I can't rate less than one Star.

    does Tenecity work at all?

    By Horst on 08/25/2019

    So far I am very disappointed. I put half a teaspoon of Tenacity into one gallon of water, added 1 teaspoon of surfactant, spot sprayed about a square foot of garden with some dandylion and other weed in it. Waited two weeks. No result. So I added another half teaspoon of Tenacity. Treated the same sft again. A week later no result. I really washed the two dandylion down with the stuff. What am I doing wrong??

    Tenacity Doesn't Meet My Expectations

    By Bill on 05/14/2019

    I followed the instructions to the word and after two weeks I just applied the second treatment only to be disappointed in the entire process. I'm disappointed in the amount of time it takes to even cause a weed to wilt. Very disappointed and would not recommend.

    Ugly lawn after appying Tenacity to kill crab grass weed

    By Pradeep on 08/23/2019

    Verified Purchase

    my lawn was infested with Crab crass and other weeds. i applied Tenacity as recommended and after a week, the crab grass and few other weeds started turning white( because it is a Group 27 Herbicide) and turned my lawn into patches of white for 5-6 weeks. it looked ugly and all my neighbors asked me why white patches were appearing in my lawn. i would not use this on my lawn again. there are several other herbicides ( Group 3 or 4 herbicide) that kill the weed and dryout without turning the lawn white.

    Tenacity killed my lawn.

    By Chris on 09/09/2019

    I tried this product for the first time and never will use it again. I have been doing my own lawn service for decades and have all professional equipment since my yard is over 3 acres. I bought this product to do a post emergence on some crabgrass that made it through the summer in a few spots. Well, a few dead spots of more than just crabgrass occurred. My grass was healthy and bluegrass and tell fescue. This stuff killed it all. I watched it completely turn brown over a 3 week period. I mixed it in my 60 gallon pull behind tank sprayer exactly as instructed with the required amount of sufficant. Thanks Tenacity. Now I have a ton of work to do to get my grass reseeded all while having a disgusting looking lawn.

    This Herbicide is a joke !

    By Mark on 06/26/2020

    Save your money,this stuff is worthless!! Put down, not once but twice, still same results. No weeds killed, Most products out there, are BS,you need a license to buy the stuff that really works,so find someone who has access to the real weed killer , or you will just be spinning your wheels in the mud.

    Not Happy

    By David on 08/09/2019

    I ordered Tenacity and sprayed my yard. 1.5 acres. I used a 15 gallon sprayer and mixed the entire 8 oz bottle in the 15 gallons. Directions say 1 oz to 2 Gallons. I sprayed what I thought was a heavy dose on the yard. My yard turned white within about 10 days. Crab grass was white. Within another 7 days, it was completely green again and almost as thick as it was before I sprayed it. I also used 2 oz of surfantant mixed with tenacity. Very unhappy! $100 wasted!

    Can not kill my nimblewill

    By Jeanne on 08/25/2019

    I am on my second bottle of tenacity. I still have nimblewill which is spreading more each year. We have sprayed it every two weeks since spring. Is there any solution to this problem.

    Killed grass, not nimblewill

    By Allison on 09/13/2019

    Verified Purchase

    Applied according to instructions (1 tsp Tenacity + 1 tsp surfactant + 1 gallon water) during late summer season when nimblewill starts to grow. Within 1 week nimblewill turned white.... but then after another week all grass (tall fescue) turned yellow....then brown. Nimblewill came back with a vengeance after another week, grass is dead. Applied a second time (attempting to at least kill nimblewill... 3 weeks later, my lawn looks worse than ever. Sea of dead grass and islands of thriving nimblewill. I would have been better just spraying RoundUp, at least that would kill the nimblewill and I could reseed (as I'll have to do now anyway). Very disappointed.

    Tenacity

    By Bob on 06/07/2020

    Save Your Money!

    By Mitch on 06/01/2020

    The worst performance of any insecticide I've ever used. I followed instructions carefully and sprayed approximately 1000 sq feet for one gallon mix. did not see any sign of weeds dying. Mixed another gallon being careful to measure exact proportions as required, again no results. did a third application and applied it to 1000 sq. feet. It's been three weeks later and no weeds dead!! I have been ripped off. I paid nearly $100.00 for the tenacity, surfactant, and dye and no results. Save your money!! Don't buy this product!!

    My weeds love Tenacity Herbicide

    By John on 04/24/2020

    After reviewing several YouTube videos on how to rid your lawn of weeds, I decided on using Tenacity Herbicide with Hi-Yield Spreader Sticker Non-Ionic Surfactant - 8 oz, which I did purchase online. After two applications 2-weeks apart my lawn weeds continued to grow bigger, taller and stronger without any hint of illness or death. A little disappointing, since I spent nearly a $100 for the products. Now disappointed and not sure who or what to trust. Awaiting inspiration.

    Tenacity Herbicide

    By Tom on 10/09/2020

    Shipping took 6 days and I guess that is what you when they tell you the shipping is free. It is possible that is has been too dry but, I am sorry to say that this product did nothing to my crabgrass. T

    Crabgrass killer

    By Bruce on 09/25/2020

    I am not at all impressed. Could have done as well with a Scott's product from Lowes. I followed directions to a tee including a recommended surfactant. Two applications and less than half the crabgrass has died. This was a fairly expensive lesson. I guess I'll be culling by hand which I was trying to avoid.

    Don't Buy Waste Of Money

    By Jeff on 12/13/2020

    Heard good things about this stuff. Bought it and the stuff that goes with it to try and kill dandelion, clover, and hop clover in my lawn. Fallowed the directions, and it didn't work. Biggest waster of $100 ever. Avoid at all costs.

    Tenacity Weed Killer Should NOT be Used on Zoysia Grass

    By Tracey on 04/10/2020

    I had watched a video on YouTube whereby a person used Tenacity to kill weeds in his grass. I applied this product with a surfactant and Turf Mark. I used the recommended amount of each product. Unfortunately, I did not read the small print regarding certain grass that can be damaged by Tenacity. That includes Zoysia. As I watched spots in my lawn turn yellow, then white over a period of three weeks I wondered if the product had killed my healthy Zoysia grass. Fortunately, it did not. The Tenacity also did not kill the weeds. It is a very expensive product that does not work on Zoysia grass.

    Not as Advertised

    By Pat on 08/07/2020

    I used Tenacity as recommended with a NIS and at corrcet ratio's based on my acreage. It took roughly 3-4 days before the crabgrass started to lose color. It took about 5-6 days for the full bleaching. What is not advertised is that this product essentially works its way down to the root. So if you mow your lawn, you basically just wasted your time as the root is still not dead and can regrow. Maybe some people can forgo mowing for 2-3 weeks as it may fully kill the crabgrass, but in my sibdivision I can't. Wish I would've known beforehand. Definitely woudl not have bought this.

    Waste product

    By Sree on 03/10/2021

    Waste of your money, please read thoroughly all the information at the end you don't want to use it. The sprayed part of leaves/ weeds turn white but they will never die, it keeps growing.

    Waste of time and money

    By Sheena on 05/22/2020

    I used this to get rid of crab grass in my lawn plus some other weeds.. I followed the directions added surfactant and dye to mark the areas I sprayed. The weeds did not even slightly discolor.

    Not working

    By Tony on 12/10/2021

    Has not showed any results to speak of, no appearance of wilting or any other results

    Expert Response  Expert response:
    After spraying with Tenacity Herbicide, the foliage of treated weeds cease growth after application, then turn white (loss of chlorophyll), and death may take up to three weeks. A repeat application is required after two to three weeks for improved postemergence weed control. We do see that you had the product less than a month so just need to give more time to work and may need a repeat application depending on target weeds

    Not the same

    By Telsma on 11/30/2021

    The tenacity I received the first time was more of a cream color and it worked well. I reordered several months later; the color was darker and not as effective. I discontinued use and sought another product.

    Not working for me...

    By Jeff on 07/03/2020

    I'm not sure how this product gets such great reviews but it is certainly not working for me. I have mixed it carefully, used the recommended surfactant, and applied as directed. No type of weed has been killed off yet. I am on my fifth (yes, fifth) application with Tenacity, waiting two weeks between. It seems to slow them down but never kill them off. The grassy weeds, like nutsedge and crabgrass, do turn white but then come back. The broadleaf types, like wild violet and plantain, have their edges turn brown but never die off. For an expensive, professional product, I am very disappointed.
