I use Roundup, the thing is to use it properly. Most people over use
it, they mix a much stronger solution than what is necessary and they
use it indescriminately by spraying much wider areas than what are
needed. I've discovered that it works well at half strength when one
follows the directions to use it on dry, hot, sunny days. I use
roundup in small corners that are inaccessable to a push nmower or a
string trimmer, like under my diesel tank/propane tanks and for the
small cracks in my blacktop driveway. I suppose I could use a flame
thrower but I'm reluctant around fuel tanks and blacktop.

I bought a gallon of concentrate 16 years ago and still there's half
remaining. I'm very cautious with spraying defoliant and insectide
for Japanese beetles. I wear protective clothing and a respirator. I
use Roundup once a year, Sevin for Japanese beetles as needed, maybe
every four years. In fact I just ordered a new sprayer for Roundup
from Amazon as the old one was begining to seep at the hose fittings.
We have two sprayers, one for Roundup and one for Sevin. Two gallon
sprayers are inexpensive, safer to replace than use leakers.
This arrived three days ago and works great.

Remember, use Roundup on hot dry days and at half strength.
