Review: Mares tails demon destroyer! - Brilliant stuff. Mares tails nightmare is over. Will use again and again. I expect it won't last forever but I was picking out 40 odd mares tails a day before and haven't had any in a couple of weeks now. Review: Leaked in transit - open package wearing gloves - I love this weed killer as it keeps the mares tail in my garden under control. It’s becoming more difficult to find in its concentrated form, so I was delighted to find the 1l size on desertcart. Unfortunately on receipt the bottle had leaked quite significantly, reducing the top of the manufacturer’s box to pulp around the first 3-4 inches. The box was in a sealed thick black plastic bag (which had a tear) and also in the standard desertcart box. This is a very toxic chemical which recommends users wear gloves when using and unfortunately I had it all over my hands just opening the black plastic bag. Thankfully all ok, so far, so suggest you wear gloves when opening your parcel, just in case. Again, this is a fantastic product just beware of the packaging ## Features - May cause long lasting harmful effects to aquatic life. - To avoid risks to human health and the environment, comply with the instructions for use. - Use biocides safely.
