Step by Step Instructions
How to Use
To apply Ortho® WeedClear™ Lawn Weed Killer Ready-to-Use1:
- Prepare the sprayer. Remove the battery powered wand from the side clip, unwrap the hose completely, and remove protective strip from battery compartment to activate batteries. Then insert the plug at the end of the hose into the spout on the cap until it clicks and flip up the spout. Spout must remain open while spraying. Next, flip open the wand until it locks into position.
- Twist the nozzle to the desired spray pattern setting.
- Spray. Point the wand away from your body and hold the trigger for a continuous spray. Release the trigger to stop spraying. Aim at the center of weed and spray lightly to cover.
When and Where to Use
Where Not to Use
- Do not use this product for controlling weeds in vegetable gardens, flower beds or around shrubs or ornamental plants. Do not use on or around fruits, vegetables or flowers.
- Do not apply with 25 feet of rivers, fish ponds, lakes, streams, reservoirs, marshes, estuaries, bays and oceans.
Where to Use
- Intended for use only on residential lawns including Kentucky bluegrass; perennial ryegrass; fescue; bermudagrass (hybrid and common); bahiagrass; bentgrass; buffalograss; centipedegrass; zoysiagrass; and St. Augustinegrass (except Floratam).
When to Apply
- For the best weed killing results, spray when broadleaf weeds are actively growing, and air temperatures are not expected to exceed 90°F for 6 hours. Although this herbicide can be applied in the spring, summer, or fall, summer applications tend to be less effective. Under adequate soil moisture conditions, spring and fall treatments tend to offer best results.
How Often to Apply
- Despite the power of this herbicide, certain persistent weeds may require a repeat application no sooner than 30 days. To ensure the longevity of your lawn, limit treatments (including spot treatments) to 2 times per year.
Special Instructions
Watering Tips
- Rain or watering 6 hours after application will not wash away effectiveness.

Kills Only Weeds
I was really amazed at how fast the ortho weedclear works, it says fast acting and they mean it. I sprayed around our new patio and by the next night the weeds were dead and only the weeds our beautiful green grass stayed green. Having the sprayer with the long reach spout makes it easier to get into those small cracks in your sidewalk or weeds around your grass or flowers.

Weeds be gone!
I ordered this Ortho weed killer so my husband would stop trying to mow the weeds down in our big canal ditch with the lawn mower. He thinks I see danger in everything. I think he's a dare devil. Anyways so he sprayed the ditch almost three months ago and still too this day no weeds. Now the summer has turned to fall if only this company would make leafs be gone like they did weeds we would have it made.

Works well
I was surprised how well this works and a little goes a long way. It was nice to see that it was safe for dogs and children too once sprayed on the lawn. This was a good size and definitely great value

Super convenient and kills wild garlic!
This product is so easy to use. Just plug in the wand, pull the tab, and the battery powered sprayer is ready to roll!
I have had a great deal of trouble spot treating the wild garlic in my lawn (I always thought it was onion until doing some more research). This products actually knocks it out without damaging the grass around it! I'm really excited about finally having something I can use to spot treat these smelly little tufts of green that make my winter lawn look unkept.
I also spot treated some broadleaf weeds, which most killers usually work well on - and they were also starting to die.
Highly recommended!

Really works
We had huge dandelion weeds and other stuff growing in our grass. Sprayed with this easy sprayer bottle and within about 48 hrs the were dead. Also tried on weeds growing they some driveway gravel and it also killed them. Easy to use. Has its own attached sprayer so easy for even us gals to do.

Works Fast! Weeds Stay Gone!
I have been very impressed with how quickly this Ortho WeedClear works around the yard. I have the pesky weeds that grow in between the sidewalk cracks and driveway. In the past I felt like I would have to try to kill them multiple times every month during the growing season in order to keep things looking clean. Within a few days after spraying with WeedClear the weeds had died in the crack. Within a week there was little left to see at all, and a month later nothing has come back. Excellent!
