A big refill that kills 250+ weeds in hours and saves your whole yard.

This is the pick for anyone who wants fast, whole-yard action without buying a separate applicator each time. The 128 fl oz liquid refill covers 5000 square feet and works on a long list of grass types — St. Augustine (not Floratam), Bermuda, Centipede, Zoysia, Buffalo, Bahia, Kentucky Bluegrass, Ryegrass, Tall Fescue, and Fine Fescue. Buyers report visible effects within an hour, with weeds brown and dead by day one.

The killer feature here is the speed: it kills clover and dandelion down to the root in one application, and unlike some competitors on this list, you see results the same day, not weeks later. The main trade-off is that it comes as a refill — you need to reuse the Comfort Wand from the original container, so if this is your first Ortho product, you will need to buy the initial wand separately.

One reviewer summed it up simply: “destroys flower weeds without killing the grass, just don’t spray a lot since it doesn’t take much.” That is good advice — a light, even coating is all it needs.

A trigger spray that spares your grass and starts killing clover in hours.

If your clover problem is a few scattered patches, not a yard-wide invasion, this is the most convenient way to handle it. The 24 fl oz ready-to-use trigger lets you squeeze exactly where the weed is — no mixing, no hose attachment, no cleanup. Owners mention “great results killing clover and other weeds without killing the grass,” and the label guarantees it will not harm the lawn when used as directed.

It kills over 250 broadleaf weeds down to the root, and the word “hours” in the feature set is not empty marketing — multiple reviewers confirm the browning starts fast. At 24 oz, it is close in size to the Scotts TouchUp at 24 fl oz, while the Scotts item weight is listed at 24.96 oz and takes 3-4 weeks. The trade-off is coverage: this is a spot-treat bottle, not a whole-yard refill, so a bad infestation will burn through it fast.

One reviewer noted the need for safety precautions: “I would suggest to wear gloves and masks while using it.” That is a fair note for any chemical spray, but the ease of the trigger makes it tough to top for a quick afternoon of spot-spraying.

A gallon of clover killer that weighs 8 lbs and uses Dicamba/Triclopyr chemistry.

This is the most literal value-for-volume option on the list. At 128 fl oz, it holds exactly the same liquid volume as the Ortho WeedClear refill, but the Bonide is ready to use out of the bottle (no separate applicator required) and weighs 8 pounds — a full 4 lbs heavier than the Hi-Yield Atrazine. The active ingredients are Dicamba and Triclopyr, a combination that customers note kills dandelions in one spray and turns clover brown in about three days.

One major advantage over the Ortho WeedClear refill is that you do not need to own a Comfort Wand — just unscrew the cap and spray. However, the built-in hand sprayer gets poor marks from some buyers, who recommend decanting into a pump sprayer for large lawns. A reviewer noted: “my husband uses with a pump sprayer and it works much better than the container it comes in.” The Bonide also covers double the volume of the 64-oz options at this price, so a heavy infestation on a large property will cost significantly less per application.

Not every experience is perfect — one reviewer found it ineffective on heavy clover patches, saying “only slightly turned some of the top clover leaves a very light brown.” For stubborn clover, you may need to reapply or bump up the concentration in a pump sprayer.

The only concentrate that cheats Clover’s defenses with a stronger mix strategy.

Where most clover killers fail is on tough, deep-rooted species or ground-hugging vines like Creeping Charlie. This 32 oz concentrate from Fertilome, with active ingredient Dicamba, is the weapon for those cases. The label says it provides evidence of injury within hours, but experienced users have a clear strategy: you need to roughly double the recommended concentration for clover specifically, and adding a drop of Dawn dish soap helps the spray stick to the waxy clover leaves.

Unlike the ready-to-use sprays above, this is a concentrate — you mix it with water, so a small 32 oz bottle goes a long way. It is safe on Kentucky Bluegrass, Bermuda, Bahia, and Zoysia. Buyers confirm it kills Creeping Charlie overnight, and one calls it “the only product on the market that truly kills creeping charlie.” The trade-off is that it costs more at the register than most ready-to-use sprays, and it takes a test spray to find the right concentration for your specific clover patch without harming adjacent plants.

A reviewer summed up the DIY approach: “must increase concentration ~2x for clover; adding Dawn dish soap improves adhesion.” If you are not comfortable tinkering with the mixture, a simpler ready-to-use spray may suit you better.

The slow-and-steady spray that wipes out clover by the root over a month.

This 24 oz ready-to-use spray from Scotts is for the patient homeowner. Unlike the Ortho Weed B Gon, which shows results within hours, the Scotts TouchUp takes its time. As one verified buyer explained: “you will think it didn’t do anything for the entire first week, no change. However, in 3-4 weeks the clover and dandelion are all gone.” The payoff is that it kills the weed at the root so thoroughly that some reviewers claim the same weed does not reappear the next year.

One big issue is that it costs about the same as the 128 fl oz Ortho WeedClear refill but holds only 24 fl oz. It also weighs 24.96 oz, while the Ortho Weed B Gon is listed at 24 oz, and the Ortho is faster. The Scotts works best as a very targeted spot treatment on clover, dandelion, and crabgrass, and it will not harm the surrounding lawn.

Not every user is happy. One review gave it one star, saying it did nothing to dandelions after two sprays. Results vary by weed maturity and weather, but the 3-4 week wait is a consistent pattern in the positive reviews.

A hose-end formula that feeds the grass while killing clover in one pass.

This is a combo product that fertilizes your lawn and kills broadleaf weeds in the same application. You attach the 32 fl oz container to a garden hose, spray evenly across the lawn, and the weed-killing chemistry goes to work while the fertilizer feeds the grass. Shoppers say it “effectively suppresses clover-like weed (possibly creeping sedge) that cheaper brands fail to control.” However, some hard-to-control weeds may require a second application 3-4 weeks later.

The coverage is split by grass type: 6000 sq ft on warm-season lawns (Bermuda, Centipede, Zoysia) and 4000 sq ft on cool-season lawns (Bluegrass, Fescue, Ryegrass).

One buyer had a frustrating experience with the cap leaking at the hose connection and the liquid not coming through properly. Check the cap seal before your first use, and contact Scotts support if the bottle seems defective.

The Atrazine spray for Southern grasses that kills clover without the burn.

If you have St. Augustine or Centipede grass, this is your specialist. The active ingredient is Atrazine, a selective herbicide (a chemical that targets broadleaf weeds without harming certain grasses) that is notably gentler on those Southern warm-season grasses than most broadleaf formulas. A professional user in the reviews recommends a specific mixing ratio: “16 oz per 4 gal water for 2,000 sq ft St. Augustine” — and warns that overdosing or improper mixing will kill the grass. Apply in even 3-4 foot strips with the nozzle about 12 inches above the grass.

The 32 oz ready-to-spray bottle is convenient: just connect it to a hose and spray. Unlike the Ortho Weed B Gon, which shows results in hours, Atrazine takes about three weeks to fully kill clover and other listed weeds (henbit, chickweed, dove weed). The trade-off for this gentleness is that it is useless on any grass outside St. Augustine and Centipede — do not use it on Bermuda, Fescue, or Ryegrass. At 2 pounds, this is also notably lighter than the 8-pound Bonide bottle, so it is easier to carry around the yard.

One sore point from a reviewer: “the bottle lacks measuring markings.” If you are mixing it yourself, you should have your own measuring cup for accuracy.
