Perfect your garden with Portland Home and Hardware's best weed control solutions

Roundup Dual Action Weed and Grass Killer RTU Liquid 1 gal

Root out the toughest weeds and grasses with Roundup Dual Action Weed & Grass Killer Plus 4 Month Preventer, available in a 1-gallon container with a Sure Shot Wand for easy application, and a 1.25-gallon refill if needed. This formula kills existing weeds and grass down to the root and prevents new weeds from growing for up to 4 months by creating an invisible barrier in the soil. Perfect for use in driveways, sidewalks, patios, along fences, mulched beds, and around well-established plants, shrubs, or trees, it ensures comprehensive weed control. For best results, spray the entire area you want to control, not just the emerged weeds. Rain or watering 30 minutes after application won’t affect its effectiveness. In just a few hours, you'll see weeds begin to yellow and wilt, with complete kill in 1 to 2 weeks. After 4 months, you can plant ornamental bedding plants, trees, shrubs, sod, and seed.

“One of the most frequent comments I hear about this is that customers really value the sprayer itself,” Hale reported. “It only gets on the precise areas you want to spray, so you don't need to worry about it getting on other plants that you don't want it to touch, or on your driveway. It also has an excellent formula.”
