The best time to kill it is when the growth of the lawn and the weeds go back to post-summer growth mode. That's typically around Labor Day.

The Ortho product that contains the proper 8% amount of Triclopyr is "Weed-B-Gon Clover, Chickweed and Oxalis Killer" (nicknamed "CCO"). Don't look for a fast kill - Triclopyr will take up to 10-11 days just to start making the weeds look sick. Repeat every 14 days until it has been applied 3X.

Why on God's Green Earth would you be putting down Winterizer at Labor Day? That's for when the grass stops growing (probably Nov 10 or so in Central NJ).
