Same exact ingredient %ages at a fraction of the cost.
Its the same mix 1.5 oz per gal for regular weeds and grasses.

Home Depot has their own brand they sell under the HDX label.

Ortho also has the same chemical/salt marketed under the name “Ground Clear” formerly “Triox”.

Same chemical, higher percentage, lower price. You are not paying for the advertising budget for “Roundup”. Similar to buying Scotts fertilizer.

Thanks...I’ll look for that. I’ve got some Bermuda grass I’ve been trying to get rid of. Roundup ain’t getting it.

I looked for Ultra Kill at Lowe’s but they didn’t have any on hand...showed as a product online but unavailable at any of the other local stores. However, there was a product on the shelf called Knock Out right next to the Roundup...same chemical makeup as the Ultra Kill (41 % glysophate), decent reviews, exact same shape bottle but different color plastic, much cheaper than Round-Up ($10 for 32oz bottle). It may be the same as the Ultra Kill...just rebranded.

Reviews were good overall, but said it was slow to kill. One reviewer said it doesn’t have one chemical in it that Round-Up does (that wilts the plant giving the appearance of a “quick kill”), but still completely kills the sprayed area within about 10 days. The sprayed area can be reseeded after 7 days...same as Roundup.

I bought some and will try it out.

Thanks for the advice.
