Roundup weedkiller gel

Roundup weedkiller gel was £7.99 now £6.99
This is a unique weeding tool which is ideal for treating weeds in difficult areas. Simply apply the gel to the weed and the gel will kill the weed right to the roots so they do not come back. This product is perfect for difficult areas such as beds, borders and vegetable patches as this is not applied to the roots but the weed itself. To make sure the weedkiller reaches the roots quickly, Roundup gel should be used when the weed is growing and has a large enough leaf area. To tackle perennial weeds, apply your Roundup gel before they flower, otherwise seeds may disperse and result in more weeds. Contains glyphosate As for children and pets, keep them out of the area while you are using roundup gel and then once the area is dry you can let them re-enter.
