Are there any weedkillers that are cat-safe?

I really need to clear the pathways around the house but I have cats and am worried about using chemical weedkillers.

Any suggestions, please?

    You can always check the label on the weed-killer and it should say if it is safe for cats. Or make a homemade pet friendly weed killer, that is easy to make Here is the recipe:

    1 part Dawn or other dishwashing detergent

    2 parts vinegar

    2 parts water

    Do not spray a metal fence as it will corrode the fence. You may add one cup of salt to this mixture if desired. Do not spray it on a metal fence.

    Hope this helped. Good luck:)

    Use an old knife or a trowel and a bit of elbow grease if you don't want to use weed killer.

    hi,

    if it is only in the joints in your path then use salt, cheap and effective.
