Product Information

It’s important to note that the chemicals in most weed killers are not as effective during warmer temperatures.

As a result, slightly more preparation is required than with ready-to-go weed killers. You’ll need to mix 15 ml of Weedol weed killer with 1 L of water in a watering can with a fine rose before applying it to the lawn. Whilst Resolva Weed Killer is powerful, it often takes several days to see results. Weeds are more likely to die after 4 – 7 days than 24 hours. However, after a week, once they’re dead, they’re generally dry enough to simply pull out of the ground.

Alternatively, residual weed killers will stop all plants from germinating, and non-selective weed killers will kill everything they encounter .

This weed killer is very effective, destroying weeds at the roots within 2 weeks. The smell alone is enough to indicate that it’s exceptionally powerful, so while it is very effective, a lot of care needs to be taken during use. It worked on all the weeds I treated it with. This is not necessarily due to any shortcoming of the herbicide itself, but related to how plants absorb moisture. Most plants absorb more moisture in the cool temperatures of the early morning, but stop when temperatures rise in the afternoon. The weed killer needs to be diluted. Then, the diluted product can be sprayed or applied directly to the stem of the weeds. This makes it possible to avoid getting weed killer on other plants. Speed of Results: Ideally, I was looking for fast-acting products that showed results within 24 hours. Any product that achieved this was rated higher. If the product also killed the roots within a 2-week window, this was also deemed highly effective. I marked down any weed killers that took 7 days to show the first signs of success, and those that took even longer received the lowest rating. You may have seen my recent post on weed control, which shared my top tips for helping you manage pesky garden weeds.

My Experience First, consider whether this can be done using non-chemical means such as digging out or other methods like burning or the application of hot water. Where these methods are not feasible, chemical controls may need to be used. Doff is not a weed killer for lawns or flowerbeds where you have lots of plants growing as based on the results of my testing, it will take out everything. This is the strong stuff and I feel it’s best suited to persistent weeds or situations where you need to destroy all plant life in a large area so you can start from scratch. This type of strong weed killer travels down the root to the underground system of the weed (when applied directly to the leafy above-ground part). Systemic herbicides are effective in breaking down the weed, however, they are slower in doing so than others. Systemic weedkillers kill from the inside out. When sprayed onto the leaves, they are absorbed and move all around the plant to kill the whole plant - including the roots. This makes them the perfect answer for perennial and difficult to control weeds. Penetration through the leaves takes some time and effectiveness can be reduced if it rains within 6 hours of application. A job this thorough takes time. The weeds should be left undisturbed for a week. Initial effects are normally evident within 7 to 10 days and complete weed control in 3 to 4 weeks. Residual weedkillers
