So it’s that time of year when we’re trying to get the backyard in order so we can spend more time having family barbecues, enjoying a margarita on the back patio, and playing games in the yard.
My back patio is a little bare these days and in desperate need of some TLC. First item on my list? Get all of the weeds out of our flower beds.
This year I turned to AMDRO PowerFlex Pest & Weed System products. They have 4 different products to choose from:
- Weed & Grass Killer Concentrate
- Lawn Weed Killer Concentrate
- Yard & Perimeter Outdoor Insect Killer Concentrate
- Home Pest Indoor Killer Concentrate
Of course the first treatment I opted for was the Weed and Grass Killer.
The all-in-one system simplifies indoor and outdoor pest and weed control by helping consumers eliminate unwanted pests in three easy steps: 1. Fill the reusable one gallon tank with clean water. 2. Twist in one of four patent-pending cartridges. 3. Spray to treat target pests; quickly switch between projects by removing the cartridge, flushing the applicator for ten seconds with water from the tank and twisting in a new cartridge. 
If you’re worried about killing your nearby bushes and grass, just make sure you spray close to the root of the areas you want to eliminate. So, what do I love most about the AMDRO product line? The battery powered sprayer. All four cartridges fit inside the nifty sprayer so you can eliminate a wide range of pests – from ants and cockroaches to dandelion and many other hard-to-control weeds. 
AMDRO PowerFlex products range from $11.99 to $14.99 and are available at The Home Depot, Walmart and select regional retailers.

Well, live in an apartment that does weed maintenance. And coffee grounds and vinegar for the bugs that might come inside. 🙂
Dana Taft says
I’ve never heard of AMDRO before and I’m excited to give them a try. We have a very large yard with lots of landscaping so a quick and easy weed killer would be wonderful.
Toni Counts says
We use the Amdro for ants. And I am VERY careful with the products we use because we have children, one with special needs. I am always very satisfied with it.

My weed control tip is to get the kids involved in pulling weeds. They think it’s fun and you get a whole lot more done quicker!

I have learned that removing all sources of standing water drastically improves the mosquito population in our yard. Would love to try the AMDRO outdoor insect killer on the yard to see if I can improve the mosquito population even further! Those little buggers just love me, but I don’t love them. 🙂

For weeds and gofers: ground cover, like mulch or pebbles.

My best tip is to keep on top of the maintenance. When we first purchased our home it have been vacant for a long time so the weeds were out of control. Its still an ongoing issue but by keeping an eye on it and doing yard work weekly its improving.

Don’t procrastinate!

Boiling water seems to help me keep the weeds to a minimum.

To deter pests, plant marigolds! Also I use sevin dust especially for ants! I also spread newspaper under mulch or straw to fend off weeds!
LM says
We have used weed barrier and done raised gardens that helped with weeds a lot. We have a brand new huge yard, so $50 would be super handy!
silverhairmadam11965 says
I use hot vinegar. And I also hoe & just pull them out. Especially after it rains. They come out easier.

This looks like a great product. I’d never heard of it before reading it here. I’m STILL working on getting control of some weeds and grass. Grrrrr…..

we have crazy weeds. I have tried everything we are wanting to do the tarp and rock thing

recently we had these caterpillar worms eating our rose bush leaves, we put sevin dust on them and it seems to be helping. (but, hate the look of white powder on the bushes)
Jessica says
We put down mulch last year and it seems to work pretty well
