Full details

This guide is for gardeners seeking a fast-acting, glyphosate-free weed killer for general garden use. The Evergreen Roundup Total Optima Concentrate offers quick visual results, typically within hours, and effective weed elimination within a day under ideal conditions. A key consideration is that while it breaks down in soil, treated areas require a short waiting period before replanting.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this product safe to use around pets and children?

Keep pets and children away from the treated area during application and until the spray has dried. Store the product securely out of reach. Once dry, the area is generally safe to access, but always follow label instructions for specific precautions.

How long does it take to see results?

Visible results, such as wilting and browning of weeds, can typically be seen within 3 hours of application under ideal conditions.

Can I replant immediately after using this weedkiller?

No, while the active ingredient breaks down naturally, it is recommended to wait for 3 days after application before replanting treated areas.

What is the coverage area of one 250ml bottle?

A 250ml bottle of concentrate can be diluted to make up to 5 litres of spray solution, which covers an area of approximately 110m².

Does this product contain glyphosate?

No, this product is formulated without glyphosate. It uses pelargonic acid as its active ingredient.

What happens if it rains soon after application?

Heavy rain shortly after application can wash the product off the weed foliage, reducing its effectiveness. For best results, apply when rain is not expected for at least 6-12 hours.

Can I use this on my lawn?

This is a broad-spectrum weedkiller and will kill grass. It should not be used on lawns. It is intended for use on paths, patios, and in areas where complete vegetation removal is desired.

Troubleshooting

Weeds are not dying after application

Ensure the product was mixed at the correct dilution ratio and applied thoroughly to the weed foliage. Reapplication may be necessary if weeds are very established or if conditions were not ideal (e.g., cold weather, rain shortly after application). Check that the active ingredient has not been washed off by rain.

Product has stained or damaged desired plants

Roundup Total Optima is a non-selective weedkiller. Avoid spraying directly onto or allowing drift onto ornamental plants, vegetables, or lawns. If accidental contact occurs, rinse the affected plant thoroughly with water immediately.

Sprayer is blocked

Ensure the sprayer has been cleaned thoroughly after previous use. Use a fine-mesh sieve when mixing the solution to catch any large particles. If blockage persists, consult the sprayer's manual for unblocking procedures.
