Non-Selective Weed & Grass Killers
When weeds try to take over, fighting back is as easy as arming yourself with the right weed killer. One of the first steps in choosing the best weed
killer for your needs is understanding the difference between selective vs. non-selective herbicides.
Non-selective herbicides kill most types of vegetation they contact, including both broadleaf weeds and grassy weeds. Because they eliminate
nearly everything in their path, these products are ideal when you want to completely clear an area of unwanted vegetation. Non-selective
herbicides should NOT be used to kill weeds in your lawn, unless you want to kill the grass as well.
Use non-selective weed killers to control weeds in areas such as:
Driveways
Patios
Walkways
Pavers
Fence Lines
Along Foundations
Because these herbicides kill grass as well as weeds, apply them carefully around desirable plants. If needed, protect nearby plants with cardboard or plastic while spraying. If desirable plants are accidentally sprayed, rinse them immediately with water.
Spectracide® Weed & Grass Killer for Driveways, Patios and Walkways
Spectracide® Weed & Grass Killer and Spectracide® One-Shot™ Weed & Grass Killer are both non-selective weed killers designed to eliminate unwanted vegetation. These products kill weeds down to the root and deliver visible results the same day.
Selective Weed & Grass Killers
If weeds have invaded your lawn, a selective weed killer is the best solution.
Unlike non-selective products, selective herbicides are designed to target specific weeds while leaving your lawn unharmed when used as directed. That’s why they’re used as a weed killer for lawns. Many selective herbicides work as a broadleaf weed killer, targeting common lawn weeds such as dandelions, chickweed, and clover without harming most types of turfgrass.
Spectracide® Weed Stop® for Lawns — Kills the Weeds, Not the Lawn™
