Total

A total weed killer (total herbicide) is non-selective meaning it will kill any green-leaved plant that it comes into contact with.

Total weed killers come in a variety of different size bottles and offer cost-effective weed treatment over large areas. Common brand names such as Roundup and Gallup offer a mix of professional and amateur products plus Glyfos Gold and Rosate are very effective glyphosate total weedkillers.

Total weed sprays are ideal for controlling weeds on paths, gravel driveways, patios and wasteland. They offer flexible treatment, with different active ingredients, of invasive weeds such as Giant Hogweed, Japanese knotweed (JKW) and horsetail (equisetum) but should be avoided for weed control on lawns as it will kill the grass as well as the weeds. Totals can also be combined with a residual to offer long-term prevention of weed growth.
