Dear Noki,

Thank you very much for your inquiry. Ground Ivy (aka Creeping Charlie) is tough, no doubt about it. It does best in shaded or partially shaded, moist, lawns that are cut short. So, if this is your lawn, try to improve drainage and raise the mowing height. This will not get rid of the present ground ivy, but just not give it a perfect place to thrive.

We are going to need to apply multiple applications of triclopyr to get rid of ground ivy. One example is Ortho Weed B Gon Max. Your success will be marginal until we hit mid September as this is an ideal time to knock out this weed (followed by May right after flowering). Follow the label directions and keep the spray low and out of the wind.

Again, thanks for the question and let me know if you have more.

Respectfully
