ForceOut: The Post-Emergent Herbicide Lawn Care Pros Need This Spring
October 17, 2025
Lawn care operators deal with the same problem every season. Weeds show up, customers call, and you need results now. ForceOut launches this spring as the post-emergent herbicide that handles what other products miss. Here's what matters.
What is ForceOut and why should pros care?
ForceOut is a 4-way herbicide with Pyraflufen-ethyl, a PPO herbicide that kills tough broadleaf weeds fast. ALS-resistant weeds that ignore standard treatments? ForceOut knocks them down. You use it at low rates, so it's efficient and economical without complicating your process. You get maximum performance without the hassle.
How fast does ForceOut work?
You see results in 24-48 hours. Customers notice when weeds die fast, and your reputation improves because of it.
Why does speed matter for lawn care operators?
Weeds are the top reason customers call back. Fast knockdown means fewer complaints. Show results in two days instead of two weeks and customers see the difference.
What weeds does ForceOut control?
ForceOut handles broadleaf weeds like clover, dandelion, ground ivy, knotweed, and spurge. These weeds cause problems because they're persistent and obvious. ForceOut kills them when other products can't.
What turf types can I use ForceOut on?
ForceOut works on golf courses, cemeteries, parks, sports fields, lawns, and sod farms. Grass types include Bahiagrass, Bluegrass, Common Bermudagrass, Fescue, Ryegrass, Zoysiagrass, and Bentgrass. Bentgrass needs some caution during application, so check the guidelines for that grass.
Can I tank mix ForceOut with other products?
ForceOut mixes with some liquid fertilizers. Run a jar test first and follow proper mixing order. Testing before you mix saves time and product.
How does ForceOut fit into my seasonal program?
ForceOut is ester-based, so it works best in cool weather. Spring and fall are perfect times because hard-to-control weeds are active then. Customers notice weed problems most during these seasons, so having a product that performs in cooler temperatures helps.
Any application tips for best results?
Wait 7 days after application if you're slit seeding. This gives ForceOut time to work without messing with new grass establishment.
Why choose ForceOut over standard 3-way herbicides?
Standard 3-ways target broadleaf weeds, but ForceOut works faster with broader control across more turf types. Here's what lawn care operators get:
- Faster results. ForceOut knocks down weeds in 24-48 hours while standard 3-ways take longer with systemic control. Speed matters when customers watch their lawns.
- Fewer callbacks. Weeds cause complaints. Fast knockdown reduces callbacks because customers see results quickly.
- Better control. ForceOut has four active ingredients, including Pyraflufen-ethyl. This hits ALS-resistant weeds that standard 3-ways miss. Fewer weeds survive and fewer problems come back.
- More flexibility. ForceOut works on residential, commercial, and recreational turf. Lawn care operators service different properties and need products that perform everywhere.
