Ortho Brush-B-Gone is quite effective, but it may harm other nearby plants, so take proper care. Make sure you follow the instructions on the container, and wear protective clothing. Do not apply on windy days, and it's best to check the weather forecast to make sure rain doesn't wash it off before 24 hours has passed. Once the plants are dead, again put on protective clothing, eye protection, and a heavy dust mask over your nose and mouth, so you won't become affected by the toxicity of the plants. Remove the plants and place in a large plastic bag. (do not burn them, it will spread the poisons through the air) Then dispose of them in a proper manner. When you're done, remove your protective clothing OUTSIDE, so you don't transfer the toxins to your furniture or carpeting in the house.
