Oh Mups, where've you been these last few months? PPE = Personal Protective Equipment.

The weedkiller is harmless once dried, just keep animals away while it is being applied... (common sense really I guess)

Re: Advice needed - desperate of Yorkshire!

As has been said anything with glyphosate should do the trick but you will probably need to treat what ever it is (what is it?!) a couple of times. From memory I think it is particularly harmful to fish but as Barry said once it dries it is OK for pets.
I could go up to my shed and look but I am too lazy

Doesn't neat bleach kill weeds?

Re: Advice needed - desperate of Yorkshire!

not according to my Vet. I mentioned to her that I was worried the dog might have a funny tummy because the council had been spraying the pavements with weed killer and she was sure they would be using one that is ok for pets.

Re: Advice needed - desperate of Yorkshire!

Thanks Barry, that is good to know.

Re: Advice needed - desperate of Yorkshire!

While we're on the subject, is there anything that can kill grass? I have a small patch of lawn that I wish to cover with a plastic sheet/membrane and then cover that with some suitable pebbles/gravel.

Hi

You need a friendly Farmer, they can get the stuff in much higher concentrations than the public.

Re: Advice needed - desperate of Yorkshire!

Can't you just get a spade under the grass roots and dig up the grass? I did it recently where Sue had scalped most of it so had to replace with new turf

Re: Advice needed - desperate of Yorkshire!

Cover it with something like a bit of old carpet, something that won't let the light through. Might take a month or two but it will kill it and no nasty chemicals
