Pre-emergent herbicide, when applied at the right times of year, will control weed populations before you see them. They do this by inhibiting seeds from forming roots, thus killing them as they germinate.

Eradicating weeds when they germinate is the most efficient way to control weed populations is lawns, flower beds, and even gravel driveways and walkways. It’s time-efficient and cost-effective, saving you months of combating weeds by mowing, weed whacking, hand pulling, digging, and from using costlier products to spray out weeds.

  • 25 lb. bag covers up to 4,000 sq. ft.
  • 50 lb. bag covers up to 8,000 sq. ft.
  • Contains 16-4-8 + Iron plus Barricade pre-emergent herbicide
  • This pre-emergent contains a high amount of Nitrogen, so review the "when not to apply" exceptions below for your type of lawn.


Apply only at the recommended rate.

Use our yellow walk-behind spreader to distribute this granular product.

When to apply pre-emergent herbicide:

  • Apply 16-4-8 with Barricade to established Tall Fescue lawns in late winter and early spring to feed and prevent weeds. If you've already fertilized your Tall Fescue with nitrogen, then choose 0-0-7 with pre-emergent because it doesn't contain nitrogen.
  • Apply 16-4-8 with Barricade to established Bermuda and Zoysia lawns in spring during "green up" to feed and prevent weeds, usually from mid to late April.
  • Apply in the morning before temperatures rise above 80 degrees; do not apply during the heat of the day.
  • Apply it after one full growing season when your lawn in fully rooted in and you can no longer pull up areas of the sod, after you’ve mowed it at least three times, and after you can no longer see the seams.


When NOT to apply pre-emergent herbicide:

  • When seeding new lawns: Do not apply this product or any pre-emergent herbicide if you're planning on reseeding your lawn because it will inhibit germination of that seed too. If you have applied pre-emergent, wait 3-4 months before planting seeds, depending on climate conditions.
  • When laying new sod: Do not apply pre-emergent when laying sod because it will inhibit root formation if applied too soon. Likewise, do not apply pre-emergent before laying new sod - if you have applied pre-emergent, wait 3-4 months (depending on climate conditions) before laying new sod.
  • Don't apply 16-4-8 with Barricade to Tall Fescue in late spring or summer; apply it only during cool months; due to high Nitrogen, don't apply to Tall Fescue during warm months.
  • Do not apply to Centipede due to the high nitrogen; choose 0-0-7 with pre-emergent instead
  • Don't apply 16-4-8 with Barricade to warm-season lawns like Bermuda, Zoysia, and St. Augustine in fall when going dormant or in winter or spring before green up; due to high Nitrogen apply it only when these lawns are actively growing in late spring. Instead, apply 0-0-7 with pre-emergent in fall and winter.
  • Don't apply too soon: If you laid warm season sod in autumn, chances are it will need one full growing season (summer) to root in and fill in the seams, thus skipping the winter and spring applications. If you laid sod in the autumn, here is a general application timetable:
    • Zoysia - Safe to apply after Zoysia sod is 12 months old
    • St. Augustine Safe to apply after St. Augustine sod is 12 months old
    • Centipede - Due to high nitrogen, not safe for Centipede at all
    • Bermuda - Safe to apply after *Bermuda sod is 6 months old
    • Tall Fescue - Safe to apply after Tall Fescue is 4 months old


*TifTuf Bermudagrass is the quickest sod to establish and beats expectations for filling in the seams. If you lay the TifTuf Bermudagrass variety late summer and it’s fully rooted in and no seams are visible, it’s safe to apply the winter application of pre-emergent herbicide.

Good sunscreen
Style: SPF 50
Super good coverage and it lasts a long time in the sun and even through water activities. The only negative is the white cast. Not as bad as others but just be aware it doesn’t fully rub in.

Great sunscreen & works for kids - even used in resorts!
Style: SPF 50
Terrific! I don’t feel it is as good as chemical ones but my favorite non-chemical one. Used on a long vacation and it did the job! Also didn’t cause pimples like other thick versions of this.

Protection
Style: SPF 50
I love this product, especially my husband because it’s all-natural. It contains minerals that leave a slight white residue on the face. While it would be nice to have a clearer texture, it does a beautiful job of protecting you from the sun.

Worked well near the equator
Style: SPF 50
I bought this product because I was going to be in the field for a month, outside, every day, all day, in Tanzania at high altitude. A severe sunburn would be hard to treat in the remote area we were in, but also I am very careful about protecting my skin from aging. I had to have mineral based sunscreen because as a whitewater kayaker I know it’s the only truly water resistant kind and it was going to be sweaty. And since I knew I was going to be putting it on every day, and we didn’t have running water in the field (bucket showers only) I didn’t want it to feel gross. (I really wanted to try the spray but I didn’t want to put anything pressurized in my luggage.) And I had already discovered the Coola face sunscreen (30spf version) which had impressed me with how silky smooth and not greasy it is. Now this IS greasier because it is a higher SPF. BUT I think this product is as good as you’re going to get with the protection you’re getting. Like I said, I’m a white water tiger, so I have used a LOT of mineral sunscreens. This was hands down the most comfortable one I’ve used. And it was effective. I didn’t burn once—only time I did burn was when I forgot to put it on one day toward the end of the trip, when we were out for just a couple hours—and I got the first 2nd degree burn I’ve ever had in my life. That was what this stuff had protected me from, all day every day, the entire trip. I did tan a little but I think that was mostly from the few times I was not covered during short bouts or it was cloudy. For my face I used the Coola 50spf face product.

Love this stuff!
Style: SPF 50
I use this every day and I love how it is frangrance free and creamy. I have a very fair complexion and I will say it leaves a slight white cast but it doesn’t bother me because it almost makes my fairness more creamy looking. My skin texture has improved since wearing it daily and no allergies from it. I highly recommend especially if you have fairer skin otherwise it may leave a cast .
