yes will kill everything if too strong a mix,, i came across it on net trying to find out how to kill the stuff. here you go. gardensalive.com Most gardening is like cooking—you’re a spineless weasel if you measure things precisely. Some gardening, however, is like baking; fail to measure and you blow up the kitchen. This is like baking, explains Nick; just the right amount of borax and the weed is killed with minimal damage to the lawn; too much borax and the lawn dies; too little borax “and Charlie keeps creep, creep, creeping aloooong!” To treat an area of approximately one thousand infested square feet, dissolve 10 ounces of Twenty Mule Team Borax in four ounces of warm water. When you have all the borax in solution, mix this into two and a half gallons of warm water, stir well, and spray directly on the weed with a sprayer that has never held chemicals of any kind! (One that you’ve used to apply non-toxic things like deer repellant, compost tea, or beneficial nematodes is fine; just remember to always clean your sprayer after every use, including this one—you don’t want any residual borax in there.) You’ll get the best results when the weed is dry and rain is not predicted for a few days afterward. And be vigilant when any new runners appear. And remember—you didn’t hear it from Nick!
