I need something that will kill everything, using it for spraying sidewalks and parking lots so I dont care if anything else ever grows there again.

Roundup Extend is actually a fairly safe product with a year long resisdual. The active that is responsible for extended control is a PRE EMERGE not a ground sterlizer. It does not effect Trees or woody ornamental ROOTS etc. I am using it on gravel parking lots with great results. Once again the strong point is the lack of Colateral damage to desirable Trees and Woody Ornamentals. Yet great long term weed control.

I am trying a commercial grade vinegar.
It is many times stronger and is safe for kids & pets.
It is none selective so use the same precautions as Round-Up.
The only draw back is on tough weeds you may have to reapply up to 3 times.
No it is not! Would you seriously spray that on kids and pets? The residual is safe-ish, BUT it is called acetic ACID.
