I can't recommend one spray over another, as I rarely use any. Last year, I grabbed some at the dollar store (of allplaces. Who knows what's really in that stuff?) It was called Maxide and it worked like nothing I've ever seen.

I've tried Roundup, and it was not strong enough to kill our poison ivy and elephant ears. Maxide did it in one spray.

There are probably a few that would work for you.

Maxide is registered brand name of a company called Gro Tec, Inc. and they make several products for lawn and gardens.

(just one example:
MAXIDE® WEED & GRASS KILLER Ready-to-Use
This product is used by Homeowners and Professionals)

It's hard to tell what you purchased unless you still have the container. There are lot of good products on the market get rid of pesky weeds.

Sox...have you tried Preen? Or a combination of glyphosate and 2-4D? Works pretty good.
