They say know thy enemy.

Is there a specific weed killer more effective for vegas weeds, or should I just buy a generic bottle of roundup and go on a Ghaddafi killing spree?

Diesel fuel works best I hear.

No really. I just pull mine so as to get the roots and all. Then you spray weed preventer.

Such as this one Shop Roundup Roundup Extended Control Weed & Grass Killer Plus WEED PREVENTER II at Lowes.com

The weed killer sucks to be honest. You'll end up doing less work if you pull then prevent.

I spent 3 weeks hitting my unwanted grass with chlorine bleach, then white vinegar. It thrived. Finally hired a company to put down weed killer and also treatments of preventative. It is still thriving in places. I have been told a desert landscaped stone yard is more expensive to take care of then a grass lawn as you see in the midwest and east. I'm beginning to believe them.
