Best Answer

Roundup is made to be a topical plant killer--you spray it on the leaves and that and sunlight kill the plant. If you want to keep seeds that are in the ground from germinating, you would use a pre-emergent weed killer. Put this down on your yard before a rain or water it in, and you should be weed free for a few months.

It is not active in the soil after it is applied (meaning it does not prevent any weeds after it is sprayed) but it does have a soil half life of 47 days.

Yes it will. Roundup is a non selective weed and grass killer so if you spray it on your grass it will die.

How do you get rid of wire grass on your lawn?

Wire Grass can be a pretty invasive weed. Unfortunately, there is no selective way to kill wire grass in your lawn. The best thing to do is to use ready to use Roundup and spot treat the wire grass. Once the wire grass is dead you can plant grass seed in any bare areas left by the dead wire grass. You have to be careful using Roundup in lawns because it kills all grass, so just spot treat the wire grass.
