Total Vegetation Killer

[Chu Gai]

Need some recommendations for the most lethal total vegetation killer. Wife knows a person with a pesticide/herbicide license so if there's something more lethal than RoundUp, let me know. I take it Agent Orange isn't around anymore.

I've had good luck with spectracide.

I've used Roundup concentrate and just increased the mix ratio. I noticed hot, sunny days are the best time to use.
It does depends on what you're trying to get rid of. The one for weeds doesn't necessarily work on woody brush, or poison oak.

Pramitol mixed in diesel does a pretty good job. And yes, it's on the label to do that.

Hmmm, let me think of a person you could possibly ask....

On aside note, we had a few dandelions in our grass that wifey really didn't like. So, a few days later she tells me tht the grass is dying in certain spots in the back yard.

After scratching my head over this for a while she volunteered the information "But the dandelions are gone".

I said that is strange. I wonder why that is. She then said she sprayed roundup on them.

It didn't occur to her that it would kill all vegetation, not just weeds.

Your wife is a smart woman... You're just not getting the hint that you should have taken care of it...

We have a lawn care service and she didn't even give them a chance to deal with it. And I called them that same day she told me about them.

He's a young person who just got his license as part of his job requirements which transcend the requirements of the license itself. So, he's still pretty green in this regard however were there something unique but otherwise restricted to the general public, I should be able to get it.

What are you trying to kill?
Two gallons of vinegar and one 40-50 pound bag of water softener salt. Easy peasy.
Plus, no harmful effects to the earth, wildlife or yourself. Just the targeted vegetation.

Roundup, or just plain kerosene or diesel or bleach... or this: https://www.flameengineering.com/products.php?category_id=2
I have one and it not only works, it is FUN!!!

When I moved in there where out of control Yucca plants. I had to poison, dig deep, and finally set fire to get them out. Dug up as much root as I possibly can.

I hit resultant shoots of Yucca several times a summer after the initial excavation with Round Up. They just drink it's like it's cool aid. Get a bit yellow and bounce right the #(*%! back.

In my vast lawnkilling experience, I've found that nothing works better to kill vegetation than lots & lots of dog urine...

Either that or your garden-variety flamethrower...

I love the smell of dog pee in the morning...
