FAQs

When is the best time to apply Vitax Feed & Weed?

The best time is typically spring or early autumn when both the grass and weeds are actively growing. Avoid application during very hot, dry weather or when rain is imminent.

What types of weeds does this product kill?

It is effective against common broadleaf weeds such as dandelions, clover, daisies, and thistles. It is not designed to kill grassy weeds.

Can I use this on my new lawn?

It is generally recommended to wait until newly sown or turfed areas are well-established, typically 4-6 weeks, before applying this product.

How long should I wait to mow my lawn after application?

It is best to avoid mowing for at least 2-3 days before and after application to allow the product to work effectively and be absorbed by the weeds.

What if it rains shortly after application?

If rain occurs within 24-48 hours of application, the product may be washed away, reducing its effectiveness. You may need to reapply after the recommended interval, following product instructions.

Is this product safe for pets?

Keep pets and children out of the treated area until it has dried completely. Always refer to the specific safety instructions on the product label.

Troubleshooting

Weeds are not dying after application.

Ensure the product was applied evenly and at the correct dosage. Reapplication might be needed after a specified interval, following product instructions. Check if the weeds are of a type resistant to this formulation.

Lawn shows signs of yellowing or burning.

This may indicate over-application or application during hot, dry weather. Water the lawn thoroughly to help dilute the product. Avoid future applications during extreme heat.

Product is not distributing evenly.

Use a calibrated lawn spreader for granular products. Ensure the spreader settings are correct according to the product and spreader manufacturer's guidelines. For liquids, ensure the sprayer is functioning correctly and uniformly.

Desirable plants nearby are damaged.

Carefully shield or avoid spraying near sensitive plants. Use a barrier if necessary. Water any affected desirable plants immediately to try and dilute the product.
