A LAWN expert has shared the $13 Amazon buy that got rid of crabgrass in a matter of days.
When he neglected to use preemergent, the inexpensive purchase came in handy.
Bermuda Dad (@bermudadad) shared the lawncare advice in a TikTok video.
He explained that “crabgrass,” a kind of weed, was named after its sprawling stems that resembles the legs of a crab.
If a lawn is left to its own devices, the weed can spread fast and take over before you know it.
While Bermuda Dad normally prepared well in advance for crabgrass, which spawned in the spring and summertime, he explained he’d made a mistake.

“I always lay down a preemergent ahead of time so I don’t have to deal with that stuff but I didn’t do that on this hill,” he said.
While one half of his yard was green and prosperous with lively green grass, the other was infested with crabgrass.
For a quick and easy solution, Bermuda Dad recommended a crabgrass herbicide, like the $13 BioAdvanced All-In-One Lawn Weed and Crabgrass Killer.
Not only does the concentrated solution eliminate crabgrass but it also rids lawns of over 200 different types of unwanted weeds, including thistle and dandelions.

One hour after application, it’s even rain-proof.
Five days after spraying the hill with BioAdvanced, he noticed dead roots and grass.
Thousands of happy customers agreed that the herbicide was a great bang for their buck.
One praised it for killing off crabgrass without harming their precious plants.
“Crabgrass was really exploding and I was very concerned about killing off my Zoysia so I did a few test spots a couple of weeks ago,” wrote one reviewer.
“Two weeks ago the brown areas were just as thick with crabgrass as the area on the top where I didn’t spray.
“It does not appear to have impacted the Zoysia at all but significantly knocked down the crabgrass where I treated.
“I’m sure I’ll have to keep spraying as there’s still some life in the crabgrass, but it has killed off most of it.”
Others who also made the mistake of skipping pre-emergent that season was pleasantly surprised by the herbicide.
“Did not get pre-emergence down this spring and the crabgrass went crazy,” wrote one reviewer.
“Tried a couple of different week killers with no results. Purchased this product and what a difference.
“Spray on early in the morning and started to see results the second day. I did spray it one more time on the 4th day and the crabgrass is dead.

As soon as the herbicide got rid of the weeds, they noticed that plants started springing up in its place.
“The great part is as the crabgrass dies, the Kentucky blue started come up where the crabgrass was,” they added.
