This product is best used during the vegetative period of the weed and reapplication may be required if it rains shortly after application.

Weeds can take a variety of forms, but are essentially just unwanted plants that you may find in your crops. Naturally, these can pop-up just about anywhere a regular flowerbed can.

This weed killer can kill all greenery (including your lawn!) so a lot of care needs to be taken. If you spray any weeds on your lawn, you’ll likely affect the surrounding area too. For this reason, it’s better for individuals or clusters of weeds on your driveway or patio.

To use, dilute the solution with water in a sprayer as instructed and spray on the shoot (leafy parts) of plants. Do not apply near a water supply and you will need to use protective equipment including face masks to handle. These ingredients are used because they specifically target certain types of plants. Therefore, they are often found in selective weed killers as they shouldn’t kill of grass or other vegetation that they’re not intended for. However, there are some other weed-removal options that you can consider, or that you might want to use alongside chemical weed killers: Whilst not a particularly fast-acting weed killer, compared to those which show results in a couple of days, results on weeds should start to be visible after a couple of weeks. Although it’s one of the strongest weed killers, it may take a few weeks to notice brambles dying off. A repeat application after six weeks might be required.

Weed Killers: SUMMARY

It comes in a small spray bottle that is easily hand wielded, allowing you to concentrate more on the weed you are trying to exterminate. Regularly hoe any loose soil to combat small weeds. This can be both a preventative and offensive measure; it discourages weeds from taking root as well as disrupting the growth of new weeds.

Residual weed killer is applied to the soil and prevent seeds from germinating. Whilst it stops weeds from growing, it also tends to stop any other plants from germinating as well. Residual weed killer is long lasting, remaining active in the ground for around 12 months. Also, as a concentrated weed killer you do need to make up a diluted solution to use. This is very easy though as you just add 30ml of the weed killer with every litre of water. 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. The issue soon becomes more unmanageable if these weeds begin to seed, producing a family of unwanted weeds. A concentrated pour is generally a good way to go, or you can use a spray bottle with a focused stream rather than a diffused wide spray so the weed killer goes where you want it and nowhere else.

As well as tough, woody weeds, SBK is also capable of getting rid of tree stumps; a diluted solution needs to be poured into drilled holes in the wood which turns the stump soft and mushy after about a month.
