Customer Reviews for Fusilade II Herbicide

I use Fusilade II to kill the bermuda and crab grass growing in a large bed in which I'm trying to get Periwinkle (vinca minor) to take over as the predominant ground cover. I mixed the Fusilade with a spreader/sticker/penetrant called Cadence made by KALO, Inc. I oversprayed the Periwinkle and grass with the mix and (you have to be patient) after about 5 to 7 days the grass was dead and gone and the Periwinkle was untouched.

I mixed the Fusilade w/surfactant per the label instructions and applied it to my lawn 8 days ago with a garden sprayer. Already the Bermuda grass has yellowed and looks dead. I will reapply in 20 more days just to make sure and then reseed in 14 days. The fescue seems to have survived quite well.

After first application mixed with Ester, the Bermuda has taken a hit. The second application a month later is coming up.

This is my second bottle, I had real problem with bermuda taking over front yard. Used roundup and did it three different times 2 yrs. ago. Reseeded the area and last yr the bermuda was back. Saw this product and tried it last yr., it killed the bermuda roots and all hasn't came back in that area. Works on growing crabgrass too. "Two thumbs up"

bought product to control weeds and misc grasses on a Zoysia lawn in W Central Florida. Applied at .5 oz per gallon. Probably applied too heavy? Both zoysia and weeds are still stunted and turning yellow after 3 weeks.....recovery of zoysia is TBD. It is not clear on the label what rate to apply on a zoysia lawn. Can anybody help with the application rate for a healthy zoysia lawn?

  Expert response:
Fusilade II is not labeled for use on home lawns. In other zoysia turf areas, the product label states: "Over-spray Zoysia: Application should be made at a rate of 3-4 fl oz/A with Fusilade II Turf and Ornamental Herbicide, and a nonionic surfactant. Applications should be made in late spring (around June 1) and repeated about every 28-30 days. Latesummer application can be reduced to 2-3 fl oz/A as bermudagrass is preparing for dormancy. During hot summer weather the rates could be increased to 4-5 fl oz/A. Note: The 5 fl oz rate could cause temporary turf discoloration."

The active ingredient in Fusilade is very effective against Bermuda Grass and moderately effective (but the best there is) agains Johnson Grass. Fusilade is cheaper than Roundup because even for Bermuda you use less to the gallon even with the cost of the surfectant added in. And it is grass-specific -- it won't kill your favorite rose if a drop drifts onto it, as Roundup will. But read the label -- some non-grass plants are a bit susceptible to it. This is the best deal on Fusilade I found and I like the new container. Even though I live in a big agricultural area, DoMyOwnPestControl's price was less than any I found here and much less than any other Web source. It arrived promptly and well packed, mostly in biodegradable shredded cardboard.

This is a must have herbicide if you are growing a zoysia lawn from seed (or you have a neighbor with bermuda). If you previously had a little bermuda grass, then you will have a ton before the seed can germinate. I combined it with Turflon Ester to reduce injury to my desired grass while killing the bermuda. I only use .1 oz/gallon (with .25 oz/gal Turflon) application so this should last me a while. Expect stunt growth on zoysia for about a couple weeks and multiple applications since bermuda never stops invading.

Fusilade kills grass without harming broad-leafed plants. It is perfect for eliminating grass that has invaded flower beds. Crabgrass is especially vulnerable to Fusilade; so, you can mix a dilute batch to kill crabgrass and not harm a fescue lawn. You can get the same herbicide in Grass-B-Gone, pre-mixed in a spray bottle, but it is really expensive.

As advertised the product is killing burmuda grass in my rose beds. I have an old lawn and the grass in unwanted areas has always been a problem. The product was recommended by a friend and along with the spreader is working and cleaning out the burmuda grass.

Works well on Bermuda Grass. BE VERY CAREFUL with this stuff. I over did it and killed a lot of my lawn.

Received from DoMyOwnPestControl before expected date: rate the team a 5. Have applied one time and Bermuda dying, fescue surviving with some noticeable color loss. Happy at this point. Computing mixture instructions could be made much easier.

It only took a very small amount to kill the massive Bermuda weeds in my zoysia. The zoysia yellowed a little, but is alive. The directions could use an update for the average homeowner. We called a landscaper friend. It only takes a teaspoon or so in a filled sprayer.

Unfortunately, I have used this twice since I got it and it has poured rain afterwards for days, so though I can see some results, I think the rain certainly diluted it. Shame too because it is expensive. BUT, this was 30 dollars less than I am able to get it at my local store. My landscapers have used this for me before with good results, but this is something that needs to be applied about 10 days apart to get the best lasting results. I like that I can overspray in most of my plants with no harm to them. I am not over spraying on veggies or fruit trees as I'm not sure if it will affect them. If anybody knows, please post. I will use this site again. It was very easy, great price, great product and was shipped very quickly. I also told my landscapers about the site as it was an even better price than they could get here locally.

This product works well. It takes 7 days to show yellowing on the leaves. It has a specific target and does not bother other weeds.

Used a 1% solution with the recommended non- ionic surfactant over the top of the winter creeper ground cover two weeks ago. It's been a slow death to the unwanted broadleaf weeds. The winter creeped tolerated the Fusilade without any discoloration. I will probably spray other areas with a 1.5% solution next application.

This product killed half of my yard successfully. Half of the yard was bermuda. I went a little light because of temperature and I was killing bermuda mixed in with fescue. It has done very well at killing most of the bermuda. I am going to do at least one more treatment but all in all I am impressed.

As usual, the service was smooth and fast and I was able to get some chemicals that aren't easy to find in my area. I have used Do My Own several times and never been disappointed.

I have a few chunks of quackgrass in my lawn and haven't round anything to kill it off other that RoundUp. Fusilade II worked GREAT. Just after a few days I could see the quackgrass getting brown spots and I noticed it wasn't growing at all, it normally grows very quickly. It's been about 2 weeks now and I haven't seen the quackgrass come back yet. Hopefully it stays that way.

We bought this specifically to kill out sand burs and that's what it does. We're using it in combo with pre-emergents and glyphosate, hopefully we'll bring the situation under control next spring/

My recent experience was great with Do My Own Pest Control. They were quick to resolve any issues that I had. Will buy from them again.

I've used Fusilade to control Bermuda grass around shrubs, in flowerbed areas, etc. I also used it at a previous home to control Bermuda that invaded our fescue lawn in an area. It does not kill the Bermuda grass immediately! Be patient and check back in a few weeks! For people who say it didn't work or killed their lawn: probably a case of misidentification of "weed" or didn't follow instructions very closely. Don't spray during drought, hot summer days, etc.

I live in NE Florida and put a single application of Fusilade on my empire zoysia early march and it killed 90% of the Bermuda, I will make a second application in 30 days. I am very impressed with how well it took out the Bermuda, it did slow the Zoysia growth but no more than any other herbicide use on Zoysia.

Used on torpedo grass in my flower bed. It worked well and didn't harm plantings (though you'd need to check the label to see if it wont harm a particular plant). Make sure to use non ionic surfactant.

I used 0.8 oz per gallon of water and a few drops of methylated seed oil . Sprayed bermuda that had infested Liriope border . Took a week and the Fullisade II wiped out the bermuda and did not harm the Liriope . In fescue that had bermuda in it I got some fescue leaf burn but have seen this before when I use MSO so I suspect it was the MSO. The fescue is already coming back .and bermuda is history . Fullisade II is potent stuff so advise triple rinse sprayer afterwards. Its an oily herbicide so a couple drops of liquid dish detergent part of cleaning the tank before rinsing.

My lawn has been taken over by all types of weeds, so I decided to "clean house" and perform a new overseed this fall. I purchased this product and despite it arriving in a leaky package, it delivers! The weeds and roots are completely dead allowing me to have to only think about my grass seed and not weed control.
