## Description

New year, new lawn. Scotts® Turf Builder® Halts® Crabgrass Preventer with Lawn Food pre-emergent weed killer plus fertilizer stops crabgrass before it invades and protects all season long. It also prevents other listed grassy and broadleaf weeds, including barnyard grass, foxtail, Poa annua, chickweed, and oxalis. The added fertilizer feeds for a fast green-up after winter and helps build strong, deep grass roots. Apply Scotts® Turf Builder® Halts® Crabgrass Preventer with Lawn Food in early spring (prior to 3rd or 4th mowing) when your lawn is dry and before temperatures are regularly in the 80s. We recommend using a Scotts® spreader to apply this product. For Scotts® broadcast/rotary spreaders, use a setting of 3. For Scotts® drop spreaders, use a setting of 6. For best results, the lawn should receive ¼ to ½ inch of water from rainfall or watering within 2-3 days after application. Rain, snow, or freezing conditions after application will not affect the performance of this lawn care product. Do not apply to Dichondra and Bentgrass. This bundle includes two 5,000 sq. ft. bags of Scotts® Turf Builder® Halts® Crabgrass Preventer with Lawn Food, covering a total of 10,000 sq. ft.

Review: Excellent Product - This works very well. I use this and the fall lawn treatment and some weed killer that attaches to a garden hose for periodic lawn treatment. For less than $100.00 per year my lawn (approx. 1/5 acre) is virtually weed free and nice and green. People compliment my lawn. I would suggest using this with the Scotts spreader so you will know the precise setting to use. Let me also mention: I use dishwashing gloves when putting this in the spreader, to break up clumps, etc. You should not have this touch your skin. Also, this will not prevent crabgrass or other weeds all season long. The effect lasts approximately 3 months. I usually apply it right after St. Patrick's Day, or a week later. That is what I understand to be optimal. Later in the season I use weed killer in a container that attaches to a hose for application. That will kill the weeds after this has worn off.
Review: Crabgrass PREVENTER - Keeps crabgrass from growing. But you have to spread it out before it starts to grow. Just read the directions on the bag.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How soon can I throw down some new seed? I would like more kentucky blue in my lawn.**
A: you have created a force field. only way is to put down new loam 1/2'' thick then seed . late august aerate lawn then seed,& do it like your feeding the chicken & those hens are hungry. next year you will not believe, keep your deck clean & blades sharp.  GOOD LUCK

**Q: Okay to use in August?**
A: I have Poa Annua and have been doing a lot of research on it. Many websites with information about Poa Annua say for effective control, besides Spring treatment it is good to put pre emergent down in August/September. Here is a quote from the Purdue University Extension website: "Poa annua is a winter annual that germinates in the late summer/early fall once soil temperatures fall below 70o F. Seedlings mature in the fall, overwinter in a vegetative state, and flower and produce seed in late spring and early summer." I just chatted with Scott's website and they said this product can be effective when used in this manner. I plan to apply it then AND next Spring. Most of the lawns in my development have been taken over by Poa Annua but I am still fighting the fight and hope to win or at least keep it to a minimum.

**Q: I just applied Crabgrass preventer. How long must i wait to lay down seed to grow grass?**
A: You don't. You wait till late summer to winter to seed. Crabgrass preventer will negatively affect seed for one, because it will be rooting right into the chemical barrier. If it even does come up it will not do well and likely die during the heat of summer unless you are in warmer areas.. Secondly Disturbing the soil will bring up crabgrass seeds. Deal with the bare areas, treat the weeds and seed later.

**Q: In the 5000 sq ft, 2 pk, do I get 10,000 sq ft coverage ?**
A: yes 2 5000 sq ft  bags

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product
*by S***. on June 10, 2025*

Scott's turf builder has worked great for us in the Midwest. Our lawn was taken over by crabgrass. This not only has helped with managing the crabgrass, but it seems to have made our grass healthier overall. I appreciate that this has fertilizer in it! I didn't notice any issues with burning or killing of wanted grasses. It was pretty easy to spread.
