## Overview

Atticus Empero Nutsedge Killer is a professional-strength herbicide concentrate with 75% halosulfuron-methyl, designed for selective and effective control of nutsedge and broadleaf weeds. Its fast-acting, rainproof formula penetrates roots for complete eradication while being safe on most turf types. Easy to mix and apply, it delivers visible results within 7-14 days, helping you reclaim your lawn with confidence.

## Description

Empero is a selective herbicide aimed at controlling nutsedge in turfgrasses and other non-crop sites without the damaging effects that other herbicides leave behind. It provides outstanding control of purple and yellow nutsedge as well as many stubborn broadleaf weeds like horsetail. Empero contains the same amount of the same active ingredient as sedgehammer. The active ingredient, Halosulfuron starts working immediately on targeted weeds by stunting their growth, ultimately resulting in death of the weeds. Complete control typically occurs within 7 to 14 days depending on the weed size, species and growing conditions. Empero comes in an easy, mess-free water dispersible granule that rapidly dissolves with low-use rates. People and pets may re-enter the area once the solutions dries. Rainproof in as little as 4-hours.

Review: Very Satisfied - I had never heard of Nutsedge until this spring after moving into a new neighborhood last November. When mowing season came around, I noticed something in the yard that looked like grass but grew very quickly… Nutsedge. Three days after mowing, it would be 2 or 3 inches higher than the surrounding turfgrass. It was also growing in the pine needles around my shrubbery and in my monkey grass. I began pulling it out of the shrubbery beds. After about a month of this, I saw on a YouTube video that this was actually Nutsedge, and that pulling it was an absolute ‘no-no’ because it comes back with a vengeance. Empero is designed to kill Nutsedge. It’s a knock-off of SedgeHammer, has the same chemical make-up and is a little cheaper. It worked well for me on the Nutsedge, but I was careful to use it as instructed by the YouTube videos I found. The videos cautioned that it would not be effective unless used properly. I waited several days after mowing so I could identify the Nutsedge since it had grown taller than the surrounding grass. I used a pump-up tank sprayer to spot-treat where needed. After spraying, do not mow again for at least 2 days… I waited 3 or 4. According to the instructions, Empero is rainproof after 4 hours. It takes about 4 days, but the Nutsedge will slowly begin turning yellow and stop growing. It will eventually die but may take 4 or 5 weeks after spraying. The Empero did not damage my turfgrass or the Monkey grass in my shrubbery beds. I followed the mixing directions of 0.9 grams per gallon of water and added a little dishwashing liquid as a surfactant. Mixing as directed, the 1.33 ounce bottle will make about 40 gallons of solution. After adding the chemical to the water, I used a paint mixer attached to a drill and stirred the solution for 2 minutes to dissolve the granules. I used almost the entire bottle spot-treating one acre of grass. The included pic shows the Nutsedge (which has turned yellow) 7 days after treatment and 3 days after mowing. I had good success with this product and would not hesitate to use it again.
Review: Nutgrass killer. - Got it fast and tbh en used on the nut grass. In 7 days it turn yellow and stopped growing.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the application rate for sedge control in turfgrass?**
A: 0.9 grams (one level scoop) per 1,000 sq ft. Mix 0.9 grams of Empero with 1-2 gallons of water and 2 teaspoons nonionic surfactant.

**Q: Is Empero more concentrated if mixed with one gallon of water instead of two?**
A: No, the mixture is sprayed over 1,000 sq ft regardless of water volume resulting in 0.9 grams of Empero being applied.

**Q: Why should a nonionic surfactant be added to the solution mix?**
A: Surfactants improve coverage and efficacy of the product resulting in more effective control.

**Q: Will Empero control nutsedge without harming my lawn?**
A: Empero is a selective herbicide formulated to target yellow and purple nutsedge as well as green Kyllinga without negatively impacting the established turfgrass species. Never apply to newly seeded or stressed lawns.

**Q: Are there any tips to improve nutsedge control?**
A: Apply when weeds are actively growing and not stressed from heat or drought. If the soil is dry, water the night before application. Repeat applications may be needed for larger weeds and green Kyllinga. Allow several weeks for complete weed kill.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nutgrass killer.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Atticus Empero Nutsedge Killer did the job of killing Nutsedge
*by N***R on 9 August 2026*

I have Nutsedge growing in my flower beds so I purchased Atticus Empero Nutsedge Killer based on internet reviews. It has the same ingredients as Sledgehammer but it's cheaper. It comes with a very small spoon that provides the correct amount to add to a 1-gallon sprayer. I used a 1/2 of spoonful along with a surfactant (so it will stick to the Nutsedge blades) into a hand spray bottle filled with water. I then sprayed the Nutsedge blades. It takes a couple of weeks for the Empero to kill the Nutsedge but it did a fantastic job of killing it all the way to the bulb (Nut) which prevents it from coming back. (Note: Do not mix more than you need because Atticus Nutsedge Killer has a 7-day life which weakens over time while sitting in a sprayer.) I highly recommend Atticus Empero Nutsedge Killer for killing Nutsedge.
