Product sounds scary to use. Is it effective at 1 to 3 or 1 to 4 dilution? Will run off from rinsing kill vegetation?

it truely is!!!this is not a kitchen cleaner!!i would not suggest that you clean your own pontoons unless your boatn is hanging in a sling over water... this stuff will play hell with grass and anything else it comes in contact with. be careful and be safeb bob sweeney ps it does do a hick of a job on pontoons

Yes it will, it works very well, the aluminum will be very raw looking not shinny,it kind of etches the aluminum. If your doing a boat keep it off your trailer,it will discolor it. A chemist told me that you'd be better off purchasing a gallon of aluminum pot cleaner at an restaurant supply store

Never got a chance to use it as we wanted to put the boat in before Memorial Day. We just finished putting the seats in today. Won't get to use it until the fall. Sorry, Wayne

i put it full strength into a spray bottle and did about 8ft when sprayed off with power washer. It worked great.

This is a bit more purified as it is meant for swimming pools. It is still effective. But the best root killer is plain old rock salt. May damage the trees that have the roots in the pipes though.

It is intended to be used full-strength. Once everything has browned out, you have to physically remove the "dead" weeds. You may need a hoe or weeding fork to accomplish this task. This keeps any living roots from taking hold and starting all over again. I learned this the hard way - I sprayed an area, didn't clear it, and now the weeds are back. I still believe this is the safest and most effective weed killer on the market.

I have the same situation with a flower garden surrounding my patio and have used the product for several years running with no harm done whatsoever! I believe the company addresses this very issue on their website. I just love this product and I know you will too!!! That being said, I wait until the garden needs watering and then I use the product exactly as directed. After I'm through I do water the garden to dilute the product but I really don't think it's necessary.

Only if you are real careful... this stuff kills everything -- broad leaf, grasses, weeds and of course vegetables -- if you get it on a leaf it goes right to the root ... kills the entire plant.. I have used it in open areas around bushes and scrubs but never very close as it will kill the roots also ... me I would not us in a garden...

Yes, the product is safe for Floratam. I have used it for 3 years and use a 2 gal. pump sprayer. Follow directions about how much per gallon. It is a slow kill over about 1 1/2 weeks.I don't recommend using it when the temperature is greater than 90 degrees, but at higher temperatures it is safer than most weed killers.

If the plant you are treating is in the ground then diluting the suggested rate is probably not a good idea if you are looking to increase root mass. If you want to maintain a good root structure you could dilute by say half if you can apply on a regular basis. If you are growing in a pot, then the half rate will be effective if you use the product regularly.

I mix it with Roundup Extended Control and use about a pint of both to 2 gallons of water. I think the previous answers about using 100% must be talking about another product. I spray this on a field in back of my house that is about 70 by 200 feet and in about a week it kills all the weeds and shrubs. The active ingredient of this is triclopyr and it's concentration is 8.8 percent of this product. "Ready to use" brush killers are at best 1 percent.

Sorry, not sure - I used it on plans to fight bugs but didn't achieve positive result. Seems that also killed the blooms. I had lots of problems with ants during the summer - seems that nothing worked at home till I found their nest outside and killed them there. I'd not advise diluting at all.

No. This is a contact herbicide and only works when it is sprayed on live vegetation. What you're suggesting is a chemical treatment which prevents weed or vegetation growth from the start. You'll need something that poisons the earth to the germination and growth of vegetation. That sounds like a dangerous chemical to me. Why on earth would we want to make this planet sicker than it already is?

Not clear why other commenter didn't get expected results. I recommend - with any weed killer - painting it on rather than spraying, when you are working around other plants.

One gallon is WAY more than enough for 1750 sq ft.... The concentrate dissolution is 3 tablespoons per gallon (1.5 oz per gallon) I put 3 gallons of water and 5 oz of Killzall in my 4 gallon backpack sprayer (3 gallons because I don't want to carry 24 pounds around at first as I spray....) Those 5 oz cover about 1/4 acre, the way I spray (a little over 10,000 square feet_ I spray my entire 3/4 acre grass area in February/March when the Bermuda is dormant.... killing everything green in about 3 weeks.... wilt starts in 3-4 days depending on temperature. Surrounded by pasture, I have a lot of noxious weeds and grasses that stay green in winter. Great product!

Hello, I used it on a 30 gallons heavily planted tank to get rid of Ick an it did worked without harming my plants, just stick to the instructions!

yes, it is a nonselective vegetation killer. it is a mild acid. use with care but environmentally nicer.

I noticed that many types of brush that I was trying to remove (e.g. poison ivy or honeysuckle vine) required 100% strength as supplied in order to knock out the plants so I did not dilute it at all for these. You might consider experimenting with various amounts of dilution to see if it will work on the types of brush you are trying to remove, but I would start as J. Messick says with a 50-50 mix and go to a more concentrated mix if the 50-50 mix did not do the job.

Dilute according to bottle instructions. Don't need any stronger. It works immediately and effectively.Highly recommended... And I know...I have 4 large dogs. One small bottle makes about.Two and a half gallons.

I dilute in bucket and apply to the base avoiding leaves. I do water a little afterwards cause some are too concentrated and could burn your plant.
