Does not work that great

Verified Purchase
I purchased this thinking it wojuld be better than products I can get at Home depot. However, the Bayer All in One with Crabgrass control works better on Crabgrass. I also tried this on bermudagrass and it was completely ineffective. I have been following the directions to the letter and it just does not seem to work.

Acclaim Extra Herbicide -- dated product
By John on 05/09/2020
My order was placed on 4/16/20 and it arrived well packaged within a week. The reason for my low rating is that the product had a manufacturing date of October 2018. Given that the shelf life of this item is 3 – 5 years, at the low end of the scale, half of its life was gone by the date of delivery. I have purchased a lot of products from Do My Own over several years and generally been very satisfied. As this is not an inexpensive item, I would have hoped it would fresh within six months or less. Due to inclement weather and an unfavorable mowing/treatment cycle, I have yet to apply the herbicide. I hope to make the application within a week or so. Most of the reviewer's reference Japanese Stiltgrass eradication, I am looking to control Poa Trivialis and will update this review subsequent to lawn treatment.

Disappointing
By Joe on 06/19/2020
Applied as stated and see very little results. Don't waist your time with this product there are other out there that I've seen produce more effective results. I'm disappointed and wish I had never spend time and money on Acclaim.

Selling Old Stock
By Jeff on 09/25/2020
Bought this product and noticed the manufacture date was 2 years ago! Shelf life on this product says 3-5 years so if you have a big yard and will use it all in one application you probably will be ok. It's an expensive herbicide and I was hoping it would last several years for my small yard.

Acclaim may work
By Terry on 07/12/2019
I bought this very expensive product to kill patches of wiregrass in my front lawn, on the recommendation of a friend. I diluted it according to the directions (I wish they sold it in a smaller, less expensive quantity - I only needed 1.5 ounces), and applied it liberally to the patches. After 10 days, I observed little or no effect, so I mixed up some RoundUp and killed everything in sight. When I described the failure to my friend, he informed me that I needed to make three separate applications, separated by 15 days. I found no mention of this process in the directions. Sure wish I could get a refund...
