This Stuff Works. New! Roundup® Dual Action Weed & Grass Killer Plus 4 Month Preventer works in both landscapes and hardscapes.

Is Roundup Safe to Use? According to the EPA, there are “no risks of concern to human health from current uses of glyphosate” if products are used as directed.

That's just a fancy way of saying it controls a wide range of weeds and grasses when used as directed. This includes the pesky broadleaf and grassy weeds you find in your garden beds and landscape areas. The main active ingredient in Roundup® Ready-to-Use Weed & Grass Killer is glyphosate (pronounced GLY-pho-sate).

Several countries have restricted or banned the use of glyphosate because of its link to an increased risk of cancer. Glyphosate is the active ingredient in a number of herbicides, including Roundup.

The surfactant ingredient in Roundup is more acutely toxic than glyphosate itself and the combination of the two is yet more toxic. Glyphosate is suspected of causing genetic damage. Glyphosate is acutely toxic to fish and birds and can kill beneficial insects and soil organisms that maintain ecological balance.

Roundup products contain glyphosate, a chemical linked to cancer and other illnesses. Chemical alternatives to Roundup can also contain toxic ingredients, but safe alternatives to Roundup include soap, vinegar, salt or iron-based sprays, mulching and integrated weed management.

Roundup ProVantage is the strongest amenity weedkiller on the market. It is a continuation of Roundup ProActive, however Roundup ProVantage contains 480grams of Glyphosate per litre of product, rather than 360grams.

Roundup, an herbicide containing the active ingredient glyphosate, isn't banned in the U.S. In February 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration noted that there are no risks of concern to human health when glyphosate is used in accordance with its current label and The Environmental Protection Agency's approval of ...

Major discussions on a glyphosate ban in Europe started in 2015, when the International Agency on Research on Cancer of the World Health Organization, in an assessment of glyphosate, concluded that the compound was 'probably carcinogenic to humans'16.

Exposure to the herbicide not only poses a risk to human health and a variety of living organisms but it also threatens biodiversity and the future of agriculture. European Citizens have already demanded its ban[2].
