Weeds? What Weeds?

Every homeowner knows that weeding is just about the worst way to spend a summer afternoon. It is tedious, time consuming, and exhausting. And to make it worse, as soon as you pull one out, it seems like another one springs back up in its place!

The solution is costly weed killers that don't seem to work, right? Wrong! Dan Ryan Builders is here to the rescue! We found a list of homemade weed killers that not only cost significantly less, they are safe for pets and kids! Here is the list of easy creative ways to kill your weeds! Get ready to be amazed...

1.) Boiling Water - Yep, that’s right. Plain old H2O can be used as an extremely effective weed killer. As a matter of fact, boiling water is more effective than many of your store bought weed killers in wiping out unwanted vegetation.

2.) Bleach - Not only is bleach a spot remover, it is a weed remover as well. Place some bleach in a spray bottle and spray on the weed you wish to remove.

 3.) Rubbing Alcohol - Rubbing alcohol is used around the house because it draws water out and helps to evaporate it quickly. Guess what? If you put it on a plant, it will do the same thing.

 4.) Newspaper - If murdering your weeds with chemicals is not your style, you can always smother them. Laying down a layer of newspaper at least 4 sheets thick (the more the better) will go a long way towards killing the weeds underneath.

Now you're on your way to a gorgeous "weed-free" lawn! Try some of these methods out and let us know if they work. To read the full article, go [here]
