- KILLS WEEDS AND PREVENTS FIRE ANTS: This 3-in-1 powerhouse kills tough weeds like dollarweed and clover while also preventing and killing fire ants for up to 6 months

How To Use
- Check the Weather: You'll want to apply this to a dry lawn when there's no rain in the forecast for at least 24 hours.
- Apply with a Spreader: Fill up your Scotts spreader, dial in the right setting, and walk at a steady pace to get even coverage across your lawn.
- Water it In: After you've applied, give the lawn a good watering to get the product down to the soil where it can get to work.

Watering Tips
Watering this product in is a key step. A good watering after you apply activates the formula, washing the granules off the grass blades and moving them down to the soil to start working.
Product Tips
Mow First: It's a good idea to mow a day or two before you apply.
Product Safety
- Let it Dry: It's best to have the lawn to yourself during application. Do not allow people and pets to reenter the area until watering-in is complete and the surface is dry.
- Gear Up: We recommend wearing a long-sleeved shirt and long pants when you're applying.
- Wash Up: After you're done, be sure to wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I store leftover product?
Got some left over? No problem. Just fold the top of the bag down, secure it, and store it in a cool, dry place like your garage or shed, safely away from kids and pets.
What's the difference between this and Bonus S?
Think of this as the next level of protection for your Southern lawn. Both products are great at killing weeds and feeding, but Southern Triple Action adds a third major benefit: it also prevents and kills fire ants for up to 6 months.
Why do I need to water this in?
Watering immediately after application is what gets the party started. It moves the product down into the soil so it can get to work on preventing fire ants and feeding your lawn's roots.
How long until I see results?
You'll see weeds start to look unhealthy in a few days, and you'll have protection from fire ants right away. The feeding will help your lawn get greener and stronger over the next few weeks.
What weeds and insects does this product kill?
This product kills listed lawn weeds like dollarweed, dandelion, clover, oxalis, plantain, chickweed, and hebit. It also kills fire ants (and prevents them for up to 6 months), armyworms, grasshoppers, fleas, mole crickets, chinch bugs, sod webworms, and ticks.

Terrific Lawn Product
I received a sample of Scotts turf builder. What a fast-acting product! And what results! My grass looks so much healthier and greener. A few of my neighbors have asked what I use, and I have told them. Some of them have purchased Turf Builder and like their results too. Also, it doesn't clump when being used in the spreader. I can't say that about another brand I've used in the past. I'm never going to stray from using Scotts!

Scotts® Turf Builder® Southern Triple
First time using Scotts® Turf Builder® Southern Triple. I used it on two different properties; each property had different challenges. Also, gave some to a friend to try on their lawn. We are all very pleasantly surprised with the results - about 1-2 weeks later. Lawns are looking plush and the good grass is choking out the weeds and continues to do so. Good stuff! Thank you Scotts!
