The Council Have Applied Glyphosphate Weedkiller On The Pavements To Kill The Weeds Between Certain Pavers A Few Weeks Ago.

Question

I’m sorry for the daft question. Is it safe to walk on, and will there be no residue picked up on shoes which could be walked into cars and houses? Apologies once again, but I like organic gardening so don’t like the use of chemicals.

Answer 1

Glyphosate typically becomes safe to walk on after it has fully dried, which can take anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours, depending on conditions like temperature and humidity. Until it dries, avoid walking on treated areas to prevent tracking the chemical elsewhere.
