Looking for a safe weed killer to use around kids or pets? Burnout II is just the answer. Burnout II is for use in organic crop production and is an EPA exempt herbicide. Burnout II is an excellent alternative to Roundup for killing weeds in patio cracks, mulch beds, driveways and more. Burnout II is a non selective weed killer so you do not want to spray weeds in your lawn with it. If you're looking to control weeds in lawns without killing the grass or using a harsh chemical you should use ADIOS an all natural selective weed killer for use in lawns. Burnout II is made from food grade ingredients including clove oil and citric acid and it controls a wide variety of weeds.
We've used Burnout for many years and see it as a fantastic product to kill weeds in patio cracks, mulch beds, and and anywhere you don't like weeds growing (except the lawn). It does not translocate down to the root the way Roundup does so weeds will need to be sprayed more often.

I spray Burnout around my house in the mulch beds and on the gravel driveway. It works incredibly fast if you spray it on a sunny day. It does not kill the roots as well as your standard chemicals so I have to spray once every month or so during the summer but it sure feels a lot better spraying Clove Oil & Lemon Juice than it does spraying a chemical and worrying about my kids or cats getting into it and carrying the chemical residue inside our house. The concentrates are the most economical way to purchase. Sometimes I mix them with a little less water than recommended to improve the results.
