Residual weed killer is long lasting, remaining active in the ground for around 12 months.

Alternatively, residual weed killers will stop all plants from germinating, and non-selective weed killers will kill everything they encounter . Therefore, these are best used on patios or highly weed-ridden areas. Well, prevention is the best cure and there are several tactics you can use to keep weeds away.
