WeedKil Glyphosate Free Weed Killer 1 Litre - Harmless To Children & Pets Once Dry | Fast Acting Organic, Natural Ingredients | Effective Within 24 Hours, All Year Round | Ready To Use Spray Bottle

Product Information

Pour boiling water on weeds to destroy the growth (although it won’t kill the roots) you will need to redo this on a regular basis to actually kill off the weeds completely. That is not a problem with this pet friendly weed killer. It is completely waterproof after only 3 hours or so and a those all too frequent showers won’t do it any harm. The chemical glyphosate is commonly used as a weed killer and manufactures of glyphosate based weed killers claim that it’s safe for pet use once the area is completely dry. While glyphosate is still technically labelled as being pet-safe, and the amount used in a shop-bought weed killer is likely to be too low to have a real effect, the WHO says it is carcinogenic to humans, so we wouldn’t recommend risking it.

For those who struggle with stooping it boasts an extra long handle to prevent you from having to bend over and it’s also detachable to help you store this bazooka sized product away with ease. 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. Used correctly, white vinegar is a very effective organic weedkiller, usually ridding you of whatever you treated within 24 hours.Catch weeds before they seed. The old saying of "one year’s weeding is seven year’s seeding" holds true Glyphosate-free weed killers are also more environmentally friendly as they don’t contain th e same harsh chemicals as more traditional weed killers. For the green-fingered among us, there’s no better weapon than an all-powerful weed killer. It can help your garden stay clear of those unsightly growths without killing your good plants.

Does it work? I would have to hold my hand up and say it definitely does. In fact, it seems to kill all weeds quite efficiently and that left me wondering if it was actually pet friendly, but we let our neighbour’s dog run around our garden after it had all dried out without any effects on the wee lad. White Swan vinegar is an established brand and at 5% acetic acid it’s less concentrated than the kinds of vinegar you can buy for cleaning (usually between 6-8%). This vinegar comes in 5-litre containers so it’s economical and much cheaper to buy than any of the other products in this review. White vinegar will last for 24 months if not opened and 6 months after you’ve started to use it so just bear this in mind. If you can’t keep your pets off your slabs or paving, then do give this recipe a miss. Instead, use the eco-friendliest method there is – pulling up the weeds by hand. Something I wasn’t so keen on was the odour of this weed killer. It wasn’t horrendous, but you could never call it pleasant either, and it was quite strong.

Just because a brand says their weed killer is pet safe doesn’t mean it is organic, and it is often the case that they are not. A large number of weed killer products contain glyphosate and while this is thought to be harmless to pets once fully dried, there are still some questions about how much it affects the soil, and whether or not it is carcinogenic to humans, despite many companies’ claims to the contrary.
