Why the Pros Love It

Dispersibility of Barricade® vs competitor

DG Technology

Barricade is made with our patented DG Technology. Once it hits water, each granule breaks down into thousands of tiny particles that move down into the soil fast—right where they’re needed to stop weeds before they start.

Small Particle Size

Barricade’s ultra-fine granules mean better coverage across your lawn. More particles per square inch = more effective weed control with every pass.

When to Apply Barricade

Spring Applications

To keep summer annual weeds away, whether you have northern or southern turf, apply Barricade in early spring. Make sure to do this before the soil temperature hits 55 degrees Fahrenheit at a depth of four inches. This timing will stop weed seeds from germinating.

Fall Applications

You can also use Barricade in the fall to prevent winter annual weeds like poa annua. The ideal time to apply pre-emergent is before soil temperatures drop below 70°F consistently. This depends on your location but is typically between mid-September and early October.

Barricade and Seeding

Just like Barricade stops weeds from sprouting, it can also prevent grass seed from germinating.

If you've already seeded, hold off on applying Barricade for 60 days or until after the second mowing, whichever takes longer.

The waiting period before you can seed or overseed after using Barricade depends on your climate and how much Barricade you applied. Check out the table here for the recommended intervals.

Pro Tips for Best Results

Check The Forecast

Avoid applying before heavy rainfall so particles don't get washed away.

Mow First

Clear any lawn debris and make it easier for particles to reach the soil.

Clean Up

Sweep or blow product off the driveways/sidewalks back into the lawn.

Water Deep

Your lawn will need at least 0.2 inches of water.

Spreader Settings

We recommend using a broadcast spreader. These spreader settings are a guide. Many variables such as walking speed, terrain, particle size, density, and spreader condition can affect these settings. Be sure to calibrate your spreader before every application.
