Stop Crabgrass Before It Starts

If you've ever battled crabgrass, goosegrass, poa annua, or other invasive weeds, you already know — by the time you see them, it's too late.

Safeguard 0-0-7 with .37% Prodiamine forms a powerful barrier in the soil that stops weed seeds from germinating before they ever emerge. The result is a cleaner, thicker, weed-free lawn — no constant spraying or hand-pulling required.

This is the same professional-grade active ingredient trusted by lawn care operators, now formulated for the home lawn.

What Safeguard Prevents

• Crabgrass
• Goosegrass
• Poa annua (annual bluegrass)
• Spurge
• Chickweed
• Oxalis
• Dozens of other annual grassy and broadleaf weeds

Apply before soil temperatures reach 55°F in spring, or in early fall to get ahead of winter weeds. With pre-emergent control, timing is everything.

Why Choose 0-0-7 Instead of a Fertilizer Blend?

Safeguard contains 7% potassium (potash) and no nitrogen — which means:

• No unwanted early spring growth surge
• Safe for dormant Bermuda, Zoysia, and St. Augustine lawns
• Strengthens roots and improves stress tolerance
• Ideal when you want weed prevention without pushing excessive top growth

If you'd prefer nitrogen alongside your pre-emergent, consider Guardian 13-0-10 Pre-emergent Lawn Fertilizer instead.
