Application notes and guidance:

To get the best results apply when weeds are actively growing and there is enough weed area to absorb the spray
Perennial weeds such as ground elder and nettles are best sprayed when the leaves are fully emerged in the spring
Weeds may take up to 4 weeks to show effects of spraying – depending on the weed and the weather
To allow enough time for the weed killer to translocate throughout the weed, do not apply fertiliser or manure 5 days before or after application
Always spray in calm conditions - as spray drift could affect surrounding plants 
Once weeds have died they can be removed or dug into the soil - as long as they have no seed heads
Treated areas can be immediately re-planted or sown with seeds
Areas that are highly infested with weeds may require repeated treatment
How to use the measuring chamber

Loosen the cap slightly and squeeze the bottle to fill the measure to the level you need
Remove the cap and pour the pre-measured weedkiller into the sprayer
Put the cap back after use
Ensure the cap is placed firmly on to avoid air getting into the remaining weedkiller
Ensure the product is stored airtight and frost free

After use

Make sure that you rinse the sprayer or application euqipment used three times, to ensure no residue is left in your tank
Pour rinsed water over bare ground, or where you have controlled the weeds
Do not poor any rinsings into drains or soakaways
Do not walk on treated areas unitl the spray has dried
Children and pets should be kept away from treated areas until the spray has dried


Recommended safety clothing / PPE as per the MSDS; protective clothing (coverall), protective gloves, eye/face protection, respiratory protection

I find Asteroid Biocare extremely useful helping to keep the various weeds in my garden under control throughout the year.

Arrived as promised, very safe and convenient way of using just the right amounts when mixing with the in-built measure. Did a great job, not cheap but cheaper than buying the ready mixed weed killer from the DIY store i

Slow to see any impact and paved areas treated are showing signs of new weed growth just a few weeks after application. Seems poor compared to an excellent product like Grazon.

Thankyou for your review. Asteroid Biocare is a quality glyphosate total weedkiller and due to the way it works inside a plant, systemically, it takes several days to achieve its full effect. It is suitable for use on hard paved surfaces unlike most other products, such as Grazon. Unfortunately it cannot prevent new weeds growing. Asteroid Biocare is a total weed killer, whereas Grazon Pro is a selective weed killer which is approved for use in a different area. If you need any help in the future, please don't hesitate to contact us.
