About this product
Roundup Fast Action Weedkiller, Ready to Use, Manual Spray, 3 Litre offers a straightforward solution for tackling unwanted weeds in your garden. This ready-to-use formulation from Evergreen Garden Care is designed for homeowners and gardeners seeking effective weed control across a range of situations. It’s particularly useful for targeting broad spectrum weeds and deep-rooted perennials, offering visible results within one to two days.
This manual spray bottle contains 3 litres of liquid and utilises ferrous sulphate as its active ingredient to kill weeds and their roots with a single application. The product delivers up to three minutes of continuous spray time when using the full 3 litre option, providing ample coverage for targeted areas. It’s important to note that this is a non-selective weedkiller; meaning it will eliminate all vegetation it contacts, so use carefully around desirable plants.
The formulation works by killing weeds and their root systems, preventing regrowth. Once dry, children and pets can safely access treated areas. The product degrades naturally in the soil thanks to micro organisms, and allows for replanting within seven days of application. Following this timeframe ensures there are no harmful residues remaining.
This 3000 millilitre bottle includes the Roundup 19017 Fast Action Weedkiller, Ready to Use, Manual Spray 3 Litre, in a clear bottle. The item weighs approximately 3.29 kilograms. Consider the coverage area provided by this ready-to-use spray when assessing your needs; it's ideal for smaller gardens and targeted weeding tasks.
