Sprayed killzall last night in my ditch and everywhere it needed it. Sat about 3.5 hours before it rained.

Am I ok? Or did I just waist some money?

3.5 hours should have been long enough for it to nuke stuff. Only problem may be runoff killing stuff you didn't want dead. I've always heard 1 hour is long enough for it to sit.

Wife checked weather and said 0% chance all weekend. Then it rained later. Go figure.

It takes two weeks to fully kill everything normally so it will be a while before I know. Just got me worried bcs killzall ain't cheap.

As long as it dries on the leaf, you are fine. 1 hour should suffice.

How much is killzall per gallon?

If you used the aqutic herbicide brand it will still work, and most likely will kill you neighbors weeds as well.

I don't know what killzall os, but if its just roundup, you can get a 2.5 gallon jug of name brand roundup for around $40 and A 2.5 gallon jug of generic for around $25.

Killzall lives up to it's name. Tried round up and didn't work half as good. Got a deep ditch so this will save my back all summer.

Put a little bit of dish detergent like dawn in there. It will act as a surfactant, which makes it stick. It will improve your results.

Killzall has a high concentrate of glyphosphate (41%) the same active ingredient found in Honcho and Ranger Pro brand product.

I never understood why people don't just buy/use surfactant when it's not in a chemical but this one in particular contains a double-surfactant ultra formulation that dries on plant fast. So to answer the OP, you should be fine.

Thanks bud.

This is what I used to buy for about $25 at a local feed store. Just found it for $14 online.


Just got this for $59.99 and should have me set for a few years. Its cheaper with the bigger quantities.



I've found this stuff to be the best out there. I have a corner lot with a deep ditch so I spray it real good a few times a year and no weed eating for this guy. It takes about 10-14 days to really kick in.
