Best of the best
I used Round-up concentrate before I gave Spectracide a try years ago, and this stuff definitely works better, last longer, and ends up saving us money in the long run. 7-8 ounces per gallon of water gets the job done. We currently have 3 acres of land that I take care of that’s not wooded and I only have to buy one bottle of Spectracide a year to do both sides of our drive, mailbox, house, utility shed, a couple of security light poles, AC unit and various other things, I live by this brand for most of our outdoor needs, their Ant Shield is phenomenal as well. The weed killer has made it where I haven’t had to use a weed eater in over 15 years. Highly recommend Spectracide products.

Does not kill my weeds.
This stuff does not kill anything I spray it on. I have made it 4 times as strong and still no results. I would never buy this again. I will get something with glyphosate in it next time. Not worth the cheaper price.

    Killer weed killer….
    I like my yard and surrounding my home and property to be weed free. This weed killer is the answer to my prayers. It works great. My property looks great too.

    You won't be disappointed using this product...
    ... but you can if you use a competitors. The most widely used herbicide found in the majority of brands of weed killer is glyphosate. It works, it kills weeds. It works on humans, too. There's currently a lawsuit against Monsanto, the makers of Round Up, due to the fact that people exposed to glyphosate eventually get a form of cancer or Parkinsons and die. I doubt it's safe to use Spectracide like it's cologne, I'm sure its unhealthy, but I haven't heard of any class action lawsuits against Spectracide.  The major ingredient in the competitors can vary in strength from 18% to as high as 73%. The most common is 41%, I've used it, it works, but Spectracide kills weeds faster. There's no guess work on the correct strength to buy but there is on the amount to mix with water. The manufacturer recommends between 5 - 7 ounces per gallon of water depending upon how tough the weed is. I fill a 2 gallon sprayer with water, pour 14oz of poison in it, shake it once or twice and start spraying. If the average size of the weeds is 10" or less,  I spray. If they're taller, I'll use a field mower and cut 'em shorter. Then I'll usually wait about two days before spraying them. My reason for doing this is 1), I'll use less poison on a shorter plant than I will on a taller one, and 2) I wait two days to give the freshly cut weed some time to come out of shock so it'll start absorbing nutrients (or poison). This is just my own personal ideology, it's not based upon any scientific facts. Spectricide will kill weeds quickly, between 1-3 days. Products containing glyphosate will too, but depending upon what strength you use determines how fast they die. Keep in mind several things. My experience revolves around common weeds found here in Nevada. The weeds growing in your state may be completely different and therefore may react differently. Be prepared to spray a second time either because your first application wasn't adequate enough or a second crop of weeds has sprouted either due to new seeds blown in by the wjnd or a temperature change that is encouraging more seeds to now germinate. When spraying weeds, the goal is to cover the foliage with as much solution as possible. Therefore using a very fine mist is absolutely preferable. Coat the weed as much as possible, don't spray the dirt hoping the roots will absorb it because it wont do any good. I have sprayed countless weeds in flower gardens and as long as the solution contacts only the leaves of the weed, that's what will die. What else can I say? This is good stuff. So is 73% glyphosate sold by Round Up, but it's very expensive and let's not forget carcinogenic as well. Spectricide is the best herbicide at the lowest price that money can buy. No, I'm not being paid or compensated for my review, this is just my honest opinion. I have 29 clients that each own a minimum of 1.25 acres plus my own 5 acres and I've used twenty two 40oz bottles so far this year! My only complaint is that I can't find any one or five gallon containers. Oh well. Good luck!

    Good but not great
    With this weed killer, a little goes a long way. It will be many applications before my bottle is empty. My first application worked well but left a few weeds alive. A second application will be needed.

    GOOD deal!
    The price per unit was about $7 less than other stores in the area. Buying 3 placed me short of the $39 dollar free shipping. Didn't want 4 so had to buy the premixed gallon sprayer to meet the limit. Concentrate lasts for years. FAST SHIP!!!

    Kills graveyard dead!
    I bought some spectracide towards the end of summer but didn't use it until the last 2 weeks, I have already ordered more. You can start to see that it is working in just hours and as little as 2 days whatever you spay is dead. Beats weedeating!

    Poisonous packaging
    I love this product and have been using it for years. Unfortunately I received the package wet and contaminated from an open bottle that was ajar. I also purchased a lipstick with this order flopping loose in the wet poison. Had to throw away the new lipstick. It was not packaged either.
