Total Waste of Money
on May 10, 2019

Paid a lot more for this new product than I paid last year for Scott's Weed & Feed. Had high expectations. But, I have more weeds this spring than I've ever had in previous years. Clover, dandelions and a dozen others covering my lawn. It's almost like that product introduced the weeds to my lawn. I'm dreading seeing summer come with all the crabgrass. This will be my worst year for weeds. And to think I paid a LOT more for this product over weed & Feed.
How can you time the application of this product that contains both a pre-emergent and post-emergent?A pre-emergent must be applied prior to weeds emerging and a post-emergent after the weeds are up and growing. Waste of money!

This product is horrible

from Dallas, TX
I have been using the Scotts app (My Lawn) since 2015 with good results with my St. Augustine. This year they recommend this product and I must say like most of the reviews, is garbage. The weeds are laughing at this product. Nothing like Scott’s Bonus S. I hope Scott’s keep bringing Bonus S. I can’t believe Scott’s brings a terrible product like this.

We are sorry to hear of your experience with Scotts Turf Builder Southern Triple Action. 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. You can contact us if you would like to continue discussing this or if you want to know about our product guarantee. You can reach us here http://tinyurl.com/mds8zo5.

Doesn't perform

I bought this to get my ants and dollar weed. Put down with a Scott's broadcast spreader as per the directions on the bag. It did green up my lawn nicely but the ants or dollar weed were not even touched. Have more ants now than when I put it down. Total waste of money for ants and weeds. I will still use just the fertilizer when it goes on sale but not this 3-in1 ever again... Waste of time and money.
Response from ScottsBy Consumer Service, June 5, 2019
We are sorry to hear of your experience with Scotts Turf Builder Southern Triple Action. Dollarweed is difficult to control, particularly if the lawn is being watered too much. The longer the product sits without water the less likely it is to work, especially if they are treating fire ants. Established fire ant mounds will typically need treating directly with a fire ant control specifically for mound treatment. If you have any additional questions or concerns please contact us at http://tinyurl.com/mds8zo5.

Got Burnt Again by Scott's!

At first i was a little hesitant to apply this to mt centipede lawn. I stayed away from Scott's product for awhile due to awful results. I bit the bullet and applied it to my lawn. Followed the directions to the tee. Even bought a new Scotts spreader. I week later there are burnt patches all throughout my lawn. Never again will i use Scott's prioducts.

Food for weeds!

from Davie, FL
My grass looks a little better after applying Scott's but my weeds are flourishing. I just bought a new house and my backyard was about 50% weeds of all kinds. After applying Scott's triple- my weeds have increased to about 60% of my lawn. Save your money and try something else

I bought this 3 months ago and it's complete garbage. Did nothing as advertised. Don't waste your time and money.

We apologize that Scotts Turf Builder Southern Triple Action did not meet your expectations. This product must be watered in to be effective, as without regular watering the lawn can not absorb product.

I purchased the 3 in1 for first time, Have always used weed and feed. The ant killer part does not seem to be doing anything. I have used Over n out in the past and it works well. This new stuff is not doing anything.
