Just For Pets Weed Killer Spray (2.5 Gallon) NO Glyphosate

***How to fix the sprayer and get it to work until the container is empty*** Like a number of people, I was having trouble with the sprayer included, so I messaged the Just for Pets support folks, and this was the advice I got (and it worked): 1) Take the plastic filter off the very end of the tube. It just pops right off. Throw it away, it does nothing but impede the flow of the weed killer. 2) Adjust the length of the tub that is in the bottle. When you first open the sprayer, a much longer portion of the tub than is needed is below the cap level. This is bad. You want the tube to be just as long as the carton is tall. No longer, no shorter. So measure out the tube from the end and move the little white place holder thing so that when the tube is in the carton it's only as long as the carton is tall. That's it. Once you've made these two adjustments I found the sprayer works from start to finish with the only hiccup being once I was basically at the end of the carton, but then you just have to tilt the carton towards one corner and you'll get the last few sprays of weed killer before it's completely empty. ***Does it work?*** Yes, yes it does. And not just on small little weed patches. Our backyard was SERIOUSLY overgrown with weeds 2-4 feet tall in patches multiple feet long by multiple feet wide. It took about 4 cartons (this carton with the sprayer included and then the refill pack with 4 of these cartons), but we killed it all off using nothing but this spray. It took about 3 rounds of spraying for the really tall weeds: 1) First Spray. 2) Check for progress in a day or two. 3) Second Spray for the remaining green leaves 4) Check for progress in a day or two. 5) Third, and typically final spray, for the last remaining vestiges of green on the weeds just so they couldn't absorb anymore nutrients and regrow. 6) Let the weeds fully wither and die. Granted, our backyard now looked like Ursula's sea cave with all those creepy gray sad creatures poking up from the ground, but at least we didn't have waist-high weeds anymore. This stuff is effective, it just takes a little bit more effort than glyphosate alternatives, but not risking our pups' safety was a major concern so it was worth it. ***The Smell*** Yes, while you're spraying you will absolutely notice that it smells strongly of vinegar (because, well, it contains a fair bit of it), the smell doesn't linger once it dries though. ***Overall Value*** It might not feel like a lot of weed killer in each carton, but we found each carton actually covered a surprising amount of ground and height. If I had to guess you get about 100-150 trigger pulls with full blasts of weed killer. That may be an underestimation though since, with our weeds as tall as they were, we were just going a bit nuts with rapid fire to speed the process along and make sure everything was nice and covered.

Honest opinion! I live in Florida and we have St. Augstine grass. I expected this to kill weeds AND my grass. So far, it's killed every single weed I've been struggling with AND -- so far -- it has not killed my grass! Ordering more so I can tackle all the weeds we have, but as you can see via the photos, this really does work! I bought this to make sure it would not harm my dogs and I've yet to spray the back yard (may pull them by hand), but I mean, the results speak for themselves! Just a few examples with less than 24 hours, you can see they're being wrecked :) GREAT product!

To be honest I didn't have high expectations for this...boy, was I wrong; I applied it in the morning and by the afternoon there was noticeable leaf wilt. Ever seen it that fast with RoundUp? I saw some 1 star reviews that mentioned being angry that this killed grass; the 1-sheet instructions/tip page enclosed with the product states very clearly...this will KILL grass too. Sometimes it helps to read all the enclosed material. THe only downside to this is that it definitely has a strong smell, but it disappeared after a day or so. I'll take that any day of the week for the fast results I got with this! Update June 5: Dropping a star, like so many others, i've experienced the problems with the spray attachment, just stopped working after 3 applications. Luckily I had a pump sprayer so was able to complete my spraying, but if you don't have an alternative spray mechanism, this will not work for you.

Works and is safe!! Clears out grass and weeds from patios and walkways quickly, laying waste to almost anything it touches. Caution should be used, limiting overspray to adjacent plantings. This stuff Is great.

I had my reservations about this stuff at first since it's not as toxic as the competition (the product that is associated with cancer risk) but this stuff is incredible! It's not instant - an hour or two later the weeds still look okay, but the next day - DEAD and GONE! I don't find this attribute much of a negative at all, since it works so well and it's non-toxic, but it does have strong smell - if you get some on your hands it really lingers, so it might be a good idea to wear gloves - it doesn't burn or itch or irritate the skin or anything like that, it just smells strong and lingers, but it kills the weeds without killing me or my dog, and that's what I care about most.

I ordered this because I have grass/weeds I needed to kill, and I have a dog and lots of birds that I didn't want to endanger. I love that it's even called "Just for Pets". My only complaint came immediately when the spray nozzle didn't seem to work. I took it inside, and tested it in a quart jar and got it to start spraying. After that it sprayed the product okay - but just okay. So I gave it only 3 stars in the "Easy to Use" category. Be sure to wear rubber gloves - it leaks a bit. I gave it 5 stars because it really worked. I killed grass, clover, dandelions and other weeds. Be sure the area is DRY before you spray. The knock-down was very quick - within 24 hours. It does smell strongly of vinegar, but I didn't mind that. The smell lasts several hours. Overall this product does what it says it does, and doesn't harm the environment, pets, or wild animals. I will be buying more., but will probably invest in a better sprayer. UPDATE - I bought a sprayer and another gallon of Just for Pets weed killer. I really do recommend this product. There are several vinegar based products out there like this one - comparably priced - but I like that Just for Pets donates to local animal shelters and are absolutely invested in their customers being satisfied with their products.

Used this product on weeds in my back yard, temps were over 100°, saturated the plants and they didn't die, they didn't even show any sign of distress. He'll, I think they are thriving on it. Hoped it would be good as it is supposed to be safe around pets. I will use vinegar, salt and dawn in future. Sorry. Too costly to not do anything.

I was skeptical because most products like this labeled "pet safe" or "kid safe" rarely work as good as their chemical counterparts. I applied this to weeds all around my yard in landscaped areas, sprayed it on pretty liberally as suggested. That was at around 10 am. By 6 pm that same day, the weeds were dried up and brown. At this point it seems like it hasn't affected nearby plants or flowers in any real way, just use common sense when applying. Unfortunately, it does not keep weeds from re-growing in a particular area (I would imagine a good rain just washes this product away). Has an odd ketchup-like odor but the smell dissipates, so no worries. Overall a great product that I will buy again as needed - and you will need more. You'll always need more. And please can someone explain why this costs $30/gallon? It works but you'll need to reapply at least 3-4 times a summer. You do the math.
