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

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.

***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.

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.

I think this works just as good or even better than chemical weed killers like roundup. It does have a smell like vinegar and cloves but that dissipates after a few days. I would reccomend it if you have pets, the vinegar odor will be enough to keep animals away while it kills the weeds. will also kill grass if needed for that.

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.

2/21/26: I’m updating my review. I’m about to order another bottle. I still stand by my earlier review but I do want to mention one issue. My last bottle didn’t last too long! Not sure if it was the heat during SoCal summer, but I found out not to keep the spray nozzle/tubing attached to the bottle when not in use. I only got to use that bottle once. I used about a 1/4 of the bottle spraying the pavers in the front and backyard. The rest of the solution leaked out of the nozzle & leaked onto the garden shed floor. Only a 1/4 remained in the bottle. It took until last month for the shed to finally stopped smelling like ketchup! I haven’t seen any reviews having the same complaint. The only thing I noticed was that the next time I went to use the solution the nozzle must have fallen off the shelf. It was hanging by the tubing, straight down to the ground. Not sure if it leaked out because of the combination of the extreme heat and gravity stretching the tubing, but I thought I’d mention it so others won’t experience the same annoying loss! I now screw the cap back on the bottle when I store it. Previous 2024 review: This stuff really works! I used it on all the cement and paver areas in the backyard and driveway. I know some reviews said the smell was overpowering but it wasn’t as bad as I was led to believe. To me, the initial spray was strong but once I wasn’t directly over the spray, it was bad. I actually think it smells like ketchup. Which made me crave a hot dog afterwards! When I went out later in the day, all the weeds were shriveled up and brown. Not a green weed in sight! My package came tightly wrapped in plastic and in a plastic bag. I do wish the tubing was a bit longer to save my back but other than bending low, I was happy with this weed killer and have peace of mind that it won’t harm my dog if he goes sniffing around the sprayed weeds. To be safe, I don’t allow him outside until an hour after spraying. I can’t find anything like this at the big hardware stores so I’ll be buying it again on Amazon!

Excellent Works as described and safe for dogs
