I switched from Round Up to Spectracide this year and got much faster results
-- the target would be dead within a day or two at most. (This is the Grass
& Weed Killer formula with diquat dibromide and fluazfop-p-butyl -- they also
make a lawn weed formula that acts just like Round Up.) Definitely recommend
being careful to protect any desirable plants around the target, though - I
used it on some thistles that had come up in the lawn and it took some of the
grass out too.
