Product Information

MCPA – stands for ‘2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid’ and is used to keep broadleaf weeds like thistle at bay. Most of the weedkillers require you to use a sprayer, so make sure that you buy one as well if you don’t already have your own. One of the products in this review offers an alternative application method too, using a watering can. As always, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for a successful application. This storage rule applies regardless of whether pet owners are using harsh herbicides or natural remedies: ingesting concentrated vinegar can cause many of the same illness symptoms in dogs as other chemical weed killers. The Weedol Ultra Tough WeedKiller Liquid Concentrate is arguably the easiest weed killer to apply of all the ones I tested. It doesn’t come pre-mixed, but it can be diluted in either a watering can or sprayer. Unlike many, if not most of, the others it doesn’t contain Glyphosate and instead uses completely natural ingredients in its formula, ensuring there is no danger to your pets or to any wildlife.

Whilst Neudorff might not be a particularly well-known company, their WeedFree Plus Concentrate is a powerful weed killer that works on relatively stubborn weeds.

Now, I’m not saying the spray gun on this product isn’t any good, it actually works quite well with a steady stream of the weed killer coming out at a comfortable rate. This spray gun is also more compact and makes holding and storing it easier. Don’t leave bare soil. Weeds thrive in open spaces in the soil. Plant vegetables, flowers and shrubs close together to minimise open areas where weeds can pop up. While perennial weeds such as the dreaded dandelion can be unaffected unless the root is pulled up, using one of the above methods should keep the rest of the weeds at bay. Is Roundup weed killer safe for pets? The glyphosate amount is the same as found in professional weedkillers so the weed-killing ability isn’t diluted.

If you have problems with moss or lichens, you might be better off finding a product that is designed specifically for eradicating those plants, as they can be very hard to get rid of with organic weed killers.This is an important distinction to look for between weedkillers because it differs between brands. Some say to wait a certain length of time between applications for example 7 days, while others say to apply only once a year or every 3 months. The annual application is because, if you apply it more often, the active chemicals can build up in the soil and harm it. I’ve come to the conclusion that this weed killer does work but should be applied every month during the growing season. With glyphosate as its primary ingredient, this product does need to be handled and used with care. It’s toxic to pollinators and pond life, and children / pets need to be kept off the treated area until it’s dried. It does take a while to dry – up to 48 hours. Specification: Active ingredient: Glyphosate & Diflufenican , Results In: Within 48 hours or least 4 weeks depending on the weed I rate this product very highly, but for the control of lawn moss in a garden where pets spend time, I feel it’s the best product out there.

One disadvantage of using this weed killer is that you have to be careful with disposing of your grass clippings. Because of the chemicals used, grass clippings should not be disposed of in the standard council-collected green waste. If you choose to compost them , they need to be composted for at least 9 months before being suitable to use as mulch on the garden. It does contain glyphosate, which is toxic to ponds and pollinators. It’s broken down into the soil so isn’t bad for the environment in that sense, but you do need to be careful to keep children and pets off the affected area until it’s dried. With no gas canister, it’s electrically operated through a standard UK plug, however we would suggest using an extension lead as the burner’s own cable is relatively small. The five litre version of this weed killer comes in a large container with a pump action handle on top and an attachable spray wand. Thirty pumps of the handle will get you somewhere around 10 minutes of continuous spraying, and the twist nozzle lets you choose between a concentrated blast or a wider and finer spray. The only negative when it comes to application is that it takes a few pumps to get a decent amount of weed killer out. You’ll need to get fairly close to the weeds to cover them, and those with weaker hands or reduced mobility may find they’re working harder than is comfortable for them.The weed killer is straight forward to apply, and there’s a built-in pump pressure sprayer which helps spread the liquid. When sufficiently pumped, the pressure sprayer bottle projects the weed killer to around 120 cm, keeping the product away from your hands.

To be effective, standard weed-killers need to contain all kinds of powerful chemicals and creating a solution without them just wouldn’t be as effective. Some of the most popular weed killers in the world such as regular Roundup and Weedol often use glyphosate as one of their main ingredients, and it’s a chemical widely used in the growing of our own crops. The Gallup Home & Garden Glyphosate Weedkiller comes with gloves and a 60ml measuring cup. The dilution ratio is 30ml of concentrate per 1 litre of water, but always read the instructions on the label.As far as safety goes—the active ingredient in vinegar, acetic acid, is in a lot of the stuff that we will use, like certain ear cleaners," Irish says. "So, safety-wise, it may be a little better than more commercial products. But, then there's also the question of how effective it will be."
