Roundup Total Weedkiller is a 1 litre ready to use sprayer for weeds on hard surfaces and in cleared ground. It works on broadleaf weeds and grasses and kills down to the roots rather than only burning the top growth. It is the size that fits ordinary garden jobs: a driveway, a fenceline, weeds pushing up through paving.
What it does
-
Knockdown visible in about an hour. The first effects appear within an hour, so you know quickly whether the application worked.
-
Root kill, not a leaf burn. The formulation targets the roots, which is what stops a perennial weed reshooting a fortnight later.
-
Broadleaf weeds and grasses. It handles both, which is the difference between clearing a paved area properly and treating half of it.
-
Ready to use, nothing to mix. It arrives in its own sprayer at the right strength, with no dilution and no measuring.
How to use it
Spray directly onto actively growing weeds until the foliage is wet. Coverage decides whether the root kill happens, so wet the whole plant rather than clipping the top, and watch for growth hiding at the base. Drought stressed or dusty plants take up less. Let the spray dry fully before anyone walks back across the treated area, and keep children and pets off it until it has. Read the label and follow the directions on it, because it sets out the registered uses, the rates and the precautions. Do not use it on lawns: Roundup for Lawns is the product for that job.
What it suits
Paving, paths and driveways. Hard surfaces are the natural home for a total weedkiller, since nothing growing there is worth protecting.
Fencelines and edges. The strip along a fence, or the hard edge beside a lawn, is where weeds establish first, and spot treating early keeps the job small.
Rockeries and cleared beds. Between stones, and in ground with no planting yet, a spot treatment reaches what a hoe cannot.
It has no place in a planted bed or on a lawn. Anything green the spray touches or drifts onto is at risk, so still conditions and close, deliberate application are the only sensible approach. Delivered Australia wide, with delivery from $29.95.
