Using this specific product

Roundup For Lawns 4 is listed here as the Southern ready-to-use version for southern lawn and broadleaf weeds. For treating a lawn or garden area, the useful question is not simply whether the surface looks finished—it is whether the exact next-action milestone shown above has been reached.

Before you start

  • For southern lawn and broadleaf weeds, pay particular attention to wind, dry foliage, application rate and forecast.
  • Apply to dry foliage in suitable weather and follow the current label.

How to check readiness

Use the rainfast claim only for rain; use the label separately for people and pet re-entry. Use this only as the rainfast milestone. It does not establish general cure or re-entry safety.

Avoid this mistake

Rainfast does not mean dry, harmless or ready for people and pets.
