Product Description
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 Safeguard?
Safeguard contains 7% potassium (potash) and no nitrogen. We also added in iron.
- 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.
Ideal For
- Bermuda grass
- Zoysia grass
- St. Augustine
- Centipede
- Cool-season lawns (when not seeding)
- Landscape beds
Important: Do not apply if you plan to seed. Prodiamine prevents all seeds from germinating, including grass seed.
When to Apply
Spring Application: Apply before soil temperatures reach 55°F for 3–5 consecutive days.
Fall Application (Warm-Season Lawns): Apply in early fall to prevent poa annua and winter weeds.

Underwhelmed
"Put safeguard down in late March when soils temps were 57 degrees, and in the past 2 weeks have had more clover pop up then ever before. Lawn did look lush after applying though, just didn’t do a great job keeping weeds from germinating."
Unfortunately, I was not happy
"Unfortunately, I was not happy with this product. I put this down twice, once in October and another time in early March. My yard had more weeds then it ever had this past winter. When I contacted support, I didn't get helpful feedback. My neighbor who now uses your product after I recommended you, had the same issues. It was very discouraging to look at our neighbors yards and not have these issues."
To soon to tell
"I ordered my Spring Fertilizer with Pre-emergent. The lawn is very noticeably green and lush. . . but it is still April. so In June, when the crabgrass flourishes, I will tell you how pleased I am. I do plan to do my June, weed and feed from Synergy."
Put it down about 3
"Put it down about 3 weeks ago and my lawn never looked better than it does now, used Scott’s weed and feed for years and there is no comparison, love it!"
We are disappointed in the
"We are disappointed in the results. I applied it 3 times since October and I am still spraying for way too many weeds. The product did not perform well at all."
Excellent product! My zoysia grass
"Excellent product! My zoysia grass has greened up quicker than most other yard in the neighborhood and I've had very few weeds to co tent with this Spring. Highly recommend."
Did not seem to make
"Did not seem to make any difference. The Scotts I used last year worked much better. Now I am having to use Atrizine to treat all the weeds coming up."
delighted with your product
"After two years using scotts, etc. , I used your pre-emergent product and my centipede lawn has almost fully recovered. I also used Celsius for visible weed control. Most stores products contain way too much nitrogen and not enough potassium for centipede. Now I will only buy your products."
"Product delivered today will use before the weekend looking firward to a healthy lawn"

Q&A
- I am wondering about the safety of your product for my small dogs that play in the backyard. How long do they need to stay off lawn after application? Thank you for the info as my dogs are very important to me. Sincerely, Kathy I am looking at the safeguard 007 pre emergent fertilizer. Thank you.
- We suggest to water in the product first and then it would be safe for your pets.
- How long do I have to wait to let pets of family walk on lawn after application?
- As soon as it is watered in it is safe to walk on.
- Would I be able to spray this onto my lawn?
- No this is a granular fertilizer so a spreader is required
- I planted seed this fall. I’m looking for what I can use in the spring as a pre-immersion crab grass on new seedlings plus possibility of additional seed growingin the spring. Thanks
- Our 13-0-10 Guardian pre-emergent fertilizer is ideal in spring with 2 applications. However you will not be able to seed until fall. If you do need to germinate more seed, do not apply any pre-emergent.
- Is it safe to spread pre emergent in early Nov.. on tall fescue?
- Absolutely it will be fine. As long as all the seed is germinated.
