But the effects do not last as long as a weed killer such as
Roundup.


Actually one of the advantages of Roundup is that it has no persistence. You can spray it on an area to kill everything and plant seeds immediately. Usually the limiting factor is that you want to wait a week for the stuff to die before re-seeding. If you want to keep new plants from growing too, there are other products, eg ground clear.


For years I used gasoline for those cracks in my
sidewalk with the weeds reappearing in about 4 months. One
treatment with a weed killer last until the next year.
