When you apply a post-emergent weed control treatment, you can usually start seeing results in a week or two. During this time, the weeds will begin to wither and turn brown, which is a good sign that the treatment is working. However, it's important to note that the time it takes to start seeing results can vary depending on the type of weed and the product used. Some weeds may take longer to respond to the treatment, while others may show signs of dying off sooner.

If applied correctly, you should see full results within a month of applying a post-emergent weed control treatment.

However, if you don't see results within this time frame, it may be because the treatment wasn't applied correctly or because the weeds are particularly stubborn. In this case, you may need to reapply the treatment or use a different product to eliminate the weeds.
