What weed control is safe for pets?

Pet-friendly weed killers include homemade remedies and some store-bought products. Homemade solutions include vinegar and salt, while stores such as The Home Depot offer products such as EcoSmart, which is non-toxic.

Make a weed control solution by boiling water and sugar to eliminate problem plants without risking harm to pets. Adding dish soap to homemade weed killer enables the solution to adhere to surfaces and other plants without causing damage or being toxic to animals. Organic weed killers made with food-grade ingredients, such as the EcoSmart brand, are suitable for use around pets and children as long as the solution has had time to dry before contact.
