Watering Tips
Unlike some of our other Weed & Feed products, this one needs to be watered in right after you apply it. Give your lawn a good watering to wash the granules from the grass blades and get them down to the soil.
Product Tips
- Mow First: For best results, mow your lawn a day or two before you apply.
- Don't Overdo It: If you've recently used another weed control product on your lawn, wait at least one month before applying Bonus S.
Product Safety
- Let it Dry: It's best to have the lawn to yourself during application. People and pets can re-enter the area after the granules have been watered in and the grass has dried.
- Dress for the Job: We recommend wearing a long-sleeved shirt, long pants, shoes, and socks when 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.
Why is this product specifically for Southern lawns?
Southern grasses are a different breed, and they have different needs. We formulated Bonus S to be effective on tough Southern weeds while being safe for grass types like St. Augustine and centipede, which can be sensitive to other weed control products.
Do I really need to water this in right away?
Yes, this is a must-do. Watering immediately after application activates the product and moves it down to the soil where it can get to work.
How long until I see results?
You'll see weeds start to show signs of dying within a week or two, but it can take up to 5 weeks for some of the tougher ones to be completely gone.
What weeds does this product control?
This product controls Black Medic, Blue Toadflax, Buckhorn, Burclover, Buttonweed, Carolina Geranium (Cranesbill), Chickweed, Clover (Hop, Red, White), Cudweed, Cutleaf Eveningprimrose, Dandelion, Dichondra, Dollarweed, Eveningprimrose, Florida Betony, Florida Pusley, Fragrant Cudweed (Rabbit-Tobacco), Henbit, Lippia (Matchweed), Oxalis (Yellow Woodsorrel), Pepperweed, Purslane, Red Sorrel (Sheep Sorrel), Sewellel, Sowthistle, Stinging Nettle, Swinecress, Virginia Buttonweed, and Wild Mustard.

Works for me
I’ve been reading the negative reviews as they popped up first. I have a quarter acre of all centipede lawn. That’s just the lawn. Been using this for decades and it always works just fine. Gotta say, looking at the neg reviews, I think most people simply don’t follow instructions. One guy put it down in January and was mad it didn’t work. One was mad there were clumps in the bag that wrecked his lawn… how a clump gets through a spreader I don’t know but… I always drop the bag a bunch (like a bag of ice) then I got an old stick I run around the spreader to bust up whatever’s left. Some people’s complaint pictures showed they didn’t even have grass, just hard dirt. Duh. Some of them had it looked like every grass type but southern grasses. Amazing. Takes me about an hour every year after it warms up, then I water and forget about it. Works fine… and it’s weed control, not weed eradication. And the thicker your lawn the more control. And don’t dump tons on thinking tons more is better. Geez. No, I don’t work for Scott’s. Did work every year through high school and college on golf courses I couldn’t afford to play on. Yes, they had all kinds of chemicals for the courses, but around the clubhouse and common areas… just plain old Scott’s and worked fine. Have a great day.

Fantastic dark green lawn
I’ve been using the Scott’s turf builder for years on my lawn with excellent results.
I do have one question for the Scott’s company.
If pets walk on the lawn after applying your products, will it affect the animals in any way?
Is it dangerous?

The results are incredible
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.

Great product
If you received the pictures, this is what my lawn has looked like for the last few years using Bonus S for southern lawns. I’m sorry to say that this will not be the case anymore, for we can no longer afford to buy the 4 10000 square foot bags to do this.
