Attack Fell Terrier 864 Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 Try Roundup, spray it on, once its dry its safe to let your dogs near it Round Up is bang on!!! I sprayed my path with it (which was a bleedin' mess) about a year ago and the Path is still completely clear of any weeds now. Dogs are safe to walk on it once it dried. If you're going to use it, use it when there is no rain, because if it rains it dilutes it and it won't be as effective. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnipper 6,547 Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 On one of my spraying courses the bloke was telling us that the sales reps for roundup were supposedly drinking the round up bio to prove that its safe We use glyphosate in many forms at work, it does the job but you won't see instant results as it takes a while to kill. We used to use paraquat but I think its been stopped, that used to burn them off in hours on a hot day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
