Weed Killers that you buy from department stores are chemicals which you use to kill pesky weeds in your garden. However, soetimes you may just pop to the kitchen and get some natural weed killers, such as: Boiling water, vinegar, bleach, salt, or even alcohol! Basically, weed killers (aka herbicide) are substances used to kill weeds that harm your other desired plants.
there are many different kinds of weedkillers, in the bottom line most of them damage the plants ability to protect it self from free radicals or the sun which will then kill it but this is by no means a comprehencive answer.
Atrazine (AAtrex is one brand name), for example, blocks photosynthesis. Other herbicides inhibit lipid or amino acid synthesis, others throw off the weed's growth process (growth regulators), and still others act as pigment inhibitors or seedling root / shoot growth inhibitors. There are plenty of modes of action from which to choose.
Some weed-killers are designed to work "only" against some plants or family of plants.
Other weed-killers are just general killers and kill all plants. This including trees.
If you are uncertain about the weed-killer you have then you should take great care not to apply this near any trees you want to survive. This not only true to Apple trees.
Dosage might be of interest. A tiny firecracker won't do much damage to a garden where as a nuclear bomb will flatten the city..
It is a good idea to do some research on your poison if ever unsure about its abilities.
Make another question containing the name and brand of your weed-killer and the chances are that you will get another answer that is more specific.
Different types of weed killers contain different chemicals. It would depend on the type purchased what it has in it. Many have a list of ingredients listed on the bottle or website.
Unless it is a selective weedkiller it will kill all plants.

About the same way it affects outdoor plants ... basically, it will kill them too. Actually pretty dangerous to be using weed killers indoors ... pets or children may be harmed if they should consume or breathe this chemical.
Salt water does indeed kill many land plants. There is documentation throughout history showing enemies poisoning crops by salting them. Ocean water is also known to kill land plants. Salt water is used as a weed killer by many gardeners, however, boiling water can be used with the same effect in many cases.
You can try killing Dichondra by simply pulling out the weeds. Another option is a homemade weed killer. Vinegar is a great and inexpensive way to keep your lawn weed free.
plants die from not having enough water or not enough sun light Question was: Can fertilizer make plants die? Answer: Yes. Nitrogen fertilizer, when applied too heavily will cause plants to die, or at least be stunted. The plants will turn yellow first.
BAD idea. You don't want to kill the very plants you want to keep that are infested with bugs, right? Weed killer is meant to kill PLANTS and Bug killer is meant to kill BUGS. There's a reason why their sold separately, and not mixed together!!
No, Crossbow weed killer will not kill tulips. The herbicide in question will target woody plants, such as brush, shrubs, thickets and trees. It will not touch edibles or ornamentals, such as flowers, grasses, herbs and vegetables.
Use a broad leaf weed killer...or any weed killer.
