Types of Weed Killers

    Organic Weed Killers

    • These are the safest weed killers you can use, vinegar being the primary ingredient. Use a hose-end sprayer to apply; use 1 tbsp. per gallon of water, mix in 1 or 2 tsp. dish detergent and 1 tsp. of table salt. Be cautious with the salt; if you are using this weed killer in a flower bed, do not add the salt. If you are using it for your lawn, the salt will be fine.

    Granular Weed Killers

    • This type of weed killer is not recommended, because it is bad for the environment. When it rains, the granules run off.

    Liquid Weed Killers

    • This type is recommended for spot treatment.
      Ortho Weed B Gone Max Plus Crabgrass Control Ready to Use is available in 24 oz. bottles with sprayer; a 5-gallon bottle with sprayer; and 1.33 gallon bottle with Pull N Spray applicator. Ortho kills over 225 types of weeds.

    Precautions

    • Chemical-based weed killers can be hazardous to your pets.
      Do not use in vegetable gardens.

      If you use organic weed killers, don't worry, it won't harm your pets, or vegetables.

    Warnings

    • If you suffer from asthma, or any condition that affects your breathing, do not use chemical-based weed killers.

      If you use the organic type with a hose-end sprayer, and you have asthma or any other breathing problems, take precautions. You might want to wear gear that covers your mouth and nose.
