Stop Crabgrass Before It Starts.

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

Safeguard 0-0-7 with .37% Prodiamine creates a powerful barrier in the soil that prevents weed seeds from germinating in the first place. The result is a cleaner, thicker, weed-free lawn without constant spraying or hand-pulling.

This is the same professional-grade active ingredient trusted by lawn care operators, now available for your 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 prevent winter weeds. Timing is everything with pre-emergent control.

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

Safeguard contains 7% potassium (potash) and no nitrogen.

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

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