    We live on Amelia Island Florida.. Soil is basically sand. I have been using the Lawn care plan for the last 3 years on my St. Augustine Lawn. My Lawn is a beautiful Green all year. even January and February where nights can sometimes be in the mid 40's. By March 1 - my lawn is a carpet.. amazing. Everyone here has a lawn service, no one lawn looks nearly as good as mine.. I also apply Scotts Disease control every 3 months. the extreme heat and humidity here from May through October can destroy a lawn...

    We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts Turf Builder Bonus S and appreciate your feedback. Temperatures must be consistently (several days in a row) between 60-90°F for target weeds to be actively growing. Low or high temperatures will delay weed control. It can take up to 3 weeks for the weeds to begin to yellow. This product does not prevent new weed development only kills weeds that were actively growing at the time of application. Scotts Turf Builder Bonus S can be reapplied in 6 to 8 weeks. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee. If for any reason you, the consumer, are not satisfied with the results after using this product, you are entitled to get your money back. Limitations apply.

    We used Bonus S for about 20 years at our old house with excellent results. We built a new house in 2023, and let’s say we neglected our lawn a bit. It is about 1 acre of Floratam sod. I treated on Jan 3rd and ran out of product. It is now Feb 16th and that portion of the lawn looks great - it is greener and fuller with virtually no new weed. There is some weed here and there but few and that I plucked. I could see the line of demarcation. The results are incredible. I treated the remainder yesterday. Hopefully, it is not too late. The only thing I can think of is that the negative reviews are from competitors and subscription lawn services.

    I wish I had checked these reviews before wasting my money. I applied Scotts Bonus S to my South Florida lawn in early November and again in mid-January, like I always have done. Don't think it killed a single weed. Dollar weed? Thriving. Other weeds? Growing like I fertilized them instead! I've used this product for years, and it used to work great. But have been very disappointed the last couple of years. Did they changed the formula or just gave up on making it effective. If you're thinking about buying this product, save yourself the frustration—it's useless now. Time to find something that actually works.

    We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts Bonus S and appreciate your feedback. For the best results, we recommend that Scotts Turf Builder Bonus S Southern Weed & Feed2 is applied to a dry lawn when the temperatures are consistently above 60°F. Be sure to water the product in after application. This is especially important when daytime temperatures are above 85°F. We recommend that weeds not be mowed for two days both before and after the product application. If the weeds you are battling have been growing in your lawn for several months, they may be mature - you can tell this if the weed has already flowered for the season. Mature weeds will need multiple applications to be controlled by any herbicide. The sooner in the growing season that you can treat the weeds in your lawn, the better your results will be. If follow-up applications are needed, you can apply a second application of Scotts Turf Builder Bonus S Southern Weed & Feed2 8 weeks after your initial application. Also, please keep in mind Scotts Turf Builder Bonus S Southern Weed & Feed2 only controls those weeds it is registered to control. If the weed you are trying to control is not listed on the label, please let us know what the weed is and we will see if we have a product you can use to control that weed. If you are unsure of the identity of the weed, we recommend taking a sample of it to a reputable garden center for identification. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee. If for any reason you, the consumer, are not satisfied with the results after using this product, you are entitled to get your money back. Limitations apply. At your earliest convenience, please reach out to us at 888-270-3714 if we can further assist.

    Purchased this for dollar weed. Did absolutely nothing. Very expensive with no results
    1 reply from Customer Care team - 4 months ago
    We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts Bonus S and appreciate your feedback. Dollarweed/Pennywort is difficult to control, particularly if the lawn is being watered too much or excessive rain can drive the weed control into the soil and away from weed roots. Most turf grasses only need 1 inch of water a week. Typically watering 1/2 inch twice a week will be sufficient for turf grass, while dollar weed thrives when there is excess water. This will only apply if you have a St. Augustine lawn. If dollarweed is growing in a St. Augustine lawn, reduce watering to once every two weeks. The St. Augustine grass will survive nicely without water but the dollarweed will be weakened. Once weakened, it is more susceptible to weed control products. After treating the dollarweed go back to watering only 2 times a week with ½ inch of water. You may reapply in 6 to 8 weeks and you can use appropriate Ortho Weed B Gon product to spot treat most remaining weeds. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee. If for any reason you, the consumer, are not satisfied with the results after using this product, you are entitled to get your money back. Limitations apply. At your earliest convenience, please reach out to us at 888-270-3714 if we can further assist.

    Grass is green but clover is thriving. Am in Dallas, TX. Applied twice to St. Augustine grass over past three months precisely following ALL directions (temperature, amount of product, water when and how much, etc.). I have correctly applied the product; it simply does not work to kill clover. Don’t insult me by offering me “tips” or further directions. I won’t be purchasing the product again anyway. The clover has not only NOT died, but is thriving and has gotten way worse. Waste of money (that I can’t afford) for these bags of “feed but DON’T dare weed”.
    1 reply from Customer Care team - 5 months ago
    We're sorry to read about your disappointment with Scotts Turf Builder Bonus S Southern Weed & Feed and appreciate your feedback. Mow your grass to a height of at least 3 inches. This will make your lawn thicker and shade the soil, making it harder for clover to grow. Use a product specifically designed to kill clover, like Ortho Weed B Gon for St. Augustine Lawns. We want you to be confident in our products. For this reason, we offer a product guarantee. If for any reason you, the consumer, are not satisfied with the results after using this product, you are entitled to get your money back. Limitations apply.
