Work With the Weather
Applying Roundup® For Lawns in calm weather, when rain is not predicted for the next 24 hours, will help ensure that it's not blown away or washed off of the treated area. The best time to apply product and wipe out weeds is in spring and early summer, when the temp is between 45-90°F*.
What is the best temperature to apply Roundup?
Roundup Pro Concentrate should be applied when weeds are actively growing and temperatures are between 65-85 degrees.
How long does roundup need to be on before rain?
For best results, we recommend using Roundup® Weed & Grass Killer products on dry, warm, wind-free days. But if it's about to rain, fear not — all of our products should dry and become rainfast within 30 minutes to 3 hours — some even faster. The products below have a rainfast range of 10 minutes to 3 hours.
