UPDATED: 4/22/24

This week I applied moss killer to my lawn. We’ve had a very wet winter and with the lack of sunlight, made it ideal for moss to grow. I had a few spots that were more visible than others. To kill the moss I applied Scott’s MossEx. This product also contains iron which gives the grass a deep green color. Scott’s MossEx kills the moss while helping to thicken the lawn.

I applied this product per the bag instructions at a rate of 3.7 lbs. per 1,000 sqft using a broadcast spreader. The lawn needs to be wet when applying MossEx. I took some “before” pictures to compare and see if this product is effective. I’ll update this post with the “after” pictures.

UPDATE: It’s been over a week since I applied Scott’s MossEX. This product has definitely been working for me as you can see from the “after” pictures I added above. The moss dries out and dies, leaving behind space needed for the grass to grow. I would use this product again.

Currently my lawn is looking good. There are some weeds which I will spot spray in a few days but overall I’m happy with it.
