Our Verdict
If the 'grass' in question grows twice as fast as everything around it and has a triangular stem, this is the only homeowner product that reliably ends it. One packet handles most infestations.
✅ Pros
- The homeowner standard for nutsedge — kills the tuber, not just the leaf
- Safe on all major US turf types
- No smell, tiny use rate
- Also controls kyllinga and some broadleaf stragglers
⚠️ Cons
- Slow: 2–3 weeks to full kill
- Needs a non-ionic surfactant (sold separately) for best results
- Reinfestations from deep tubers may need a second pass
