How Scotts MossEx Works
Scotts MossEx uses iron-based technology to attack actively growing moss, causing it to darken and die after application. As the moss breaks down, nutrients contained in the formula help stimulate greener, healthier turfgrass growth. Moss typically turns black within days after treatment.
