Removing Chickweed from our lawn

Question

We have a large area of chickweed as a result of some bad topsoil that was purchased. At this late date in April, it is about too late to spray the area, then wait 3 to 4 weeks before we can reseed. I read that chickweed can only be killed by spraying during the growing season. Is this correct? I was hoping to spray the area in August and then reseed in early September. Thanks in advance for your response.

Answer 1

Fall and spring are the best times to control chickweed.
