Roundup is a non-selective herbicide, which means it can damage or kill any plants it comes in contact with. It is important to follow the instructions on the label to avoid damaging desirable plants.
The time it takes for Roundup to work depends on various factors such as the type of plant, the size of the plant, and the weather conditions. In most cases, it may take 2-4 days to see visible effects, and the complete killing of the plant may take up to two weeks.
If Roundup is used to kill weeds in an area where new plants will be planted, wait at least three days before planting new plants. If Roundup is used to kill weeds in an existing bed of plants, be careful not to get the product on the desirable plants as it can damage or kill them.
Roundup can be harmful to pets if ingested. It is recommended to keep pets away from treated areas until the product is dry. After that, it should be safe for pets to enter the area.
