Best weed spray for stinging nettles?

I've got stinging nettles running rampant over a stony area in my yard. I bought a weed spray and have used it twice but has seemed to have very little effect.

 

Is there a particular brand or chemical that I should use for better results?

 

Thanks!

Re: Best weed spray for stinging nettles

Hi @redburner17,

 

Yates 1L 490g/L Zero Weed Killer Super Concentrate should effectively kill stinging nettles. You might like to slash the nettles before spraying them to help absorption. Alternatively, cut the stems and paint the cut ends immediately with the product.

 

Remember your PPE, including a facemask, safety glasses, gloves, long-sleeved shirt, trousers and enclosed footwear.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

 

Mitchell
