December

  • Freshly cut tree and shrub stumps ; Cut the tree or shrub stem close to the ground in November to March, and thoroughly treat the cut surface of the stump as soon as possible after felling. Use a paint brush to apply the diluted Roundup® Tree Stump & Root Killer on to the cut stump.
  • Feed birds in cold weather and don’t allow ponds and birdbaths to freeze over

When can my children/pets return to the treated area?

When Roundup has been absorbed by the leaf, the residue will dry. When the residue has dried, children and pets can be allowed back onto the treated areas.

Can Roundup kill Japanese Knotweed?

Yes, but you will need to use Roundup Tree Stump & Root Killer. It may take several applications – please read the label for further advice.

When can I replant/reseed after use?

Roundup is only active in plants and is inactivated on contact with the soil. It is then broken down by soil micro organisms so that you can re-use the soil for re-planting. We recommend that you leave treated weeds for about 7 days before digging or cultivating the soil to allow Roundup to move to the roots of the weed.
