Roundup Gel Weed Killer Review

A touch is all it takes. Roundup Gel is a concentrated, systemic weedkiller manufactured by Monsanto that kills weeds with a single touch. Its packaging resembles a deodorant stick.

It is a new formulation that squeezes the gel out and attaches onto the leaves of the weed. The pack fits in the palm of your hand and is so precise and controlled it won’t harm the nearby plants or the soil. A touch kills the weed down to the root, so it never grows back, making it perfected for treating weeds in difficult places.

Working mechanism

Roundup Gel works in a simple, straightforward way. With a push of a button, gel squirts onto the leaf of the weed. Next, it is absorbed into the sap stream and travels to the roots and growing points. Once it reaches the roots of the weed, it stops the weed from growing.

Suggested Usage

Roundup Gel is a non-selective weed killer that works in a wide variety of areas. There is no need to dilute the solution with water. The design of the product makes it easy to apply, and the instructions are pretty straightforward. With a single touch, the gel sticks to the leaf. It is ideal for use in paths, lawns, turfs, vegetable gardens, and flower beds. It will work on other areas such as gravel, patios, drives, hard surfaces, along fences and for edging lawns, tarmac, and other hard to reach areas.

Covered spectrum
