Roundup® Fast Action Ready to Use Weedkiller

Roundup® Fast Action Ready To Use Weedkiller is a systemic weedkiller, killing the root so weeds don’t come back. Degraded in soil by micro organisms, fast action results are visible in 1-2 days. With an easy-grip, child resistant trigger, this 3 litre pack is ideal for treating larger areas.

How to use

As good practice, we recommend wearing waterproof gloves and gardening footwear.

1. Cut the plastic tie connecting the sprayer to the bottle with scissors. Remove sprayer and pull out the red connector.
2. Insert red connector into the top of the cap and click in place. Press and twist the cap anti clockwise to 'ON' position (¼ of a turn).
3. Turn the sprayer nozzle to ‘NARROW’ (¼ of a turn left) and squeeze the trigger a few times to build pressure. Spray weeds evenly, ensuring coverage on all the leaves.
4. After use, press and twist the top of the cap clockwise to the ‘OFF’ position.
5. Squeeze the sprayer trigger to empty nozzle. Turn nozzle to ‘X’ (OFF) and replace sprayer in the holder without disconnecting the red connector.

Treat established perennial weeds at the start of flowering to give best results. Spray nettles/ground elder when new leaves have unfolded fully in late spring.

Weeds may show first effects from a few days up to 4 weeks, depending on the weather and type of weed. Repeat application if necessary, should new growth appear.

Keep children and pets away from treated areas until spray has dried.

Where to use

Controls most weeds around the garden, e.g. gravel areas, paths, drives, hard surfaces, patios, tarmac, along fences and for edging lawns.

Can be used to clean up weedy ground before planting vegetables, flowers, bushes and trees, and to renovate overgrown areas.

Do not use on lawns or other wanted plants unless you want to kill them.

When to use

For best results apply in warm, dry conditions (April to November).

Spray at any time when the weeds are actively growing and have adequate leaf area to absorb the spray. Rain within 6 hours of spraying reduces effectiveness and repeat treatment may be necessary. Apply in calm conditions to avoid drift onto cultivated plants. Leave weeds 7 days before digging or replanting, for the weedkiller to move to the roots.

Maximum number of treatments: 1 per year.
