Roundup works well. You have to be careful not to use it when rain is forecast for a couple of days, and prevent "bleeding" of the spray onto surrounding greenery.

Roundup, Rainsafe in 1 Hr , not days. Cover plants nearby , dont use when windy.

Yes, that and don't do it on a windy day. Not even the slightest breeze.

Spread a tarp over it for a couple weeks. Or, spray it with kerosene and burn it--this will produce lots of smoke. You could burn it with a propane torch, for much less smoke.

More selective? What does that have to do with killing vegetation between pavers, when he just wants to kill everything?

Boiling water, it strips the"wax" from the leaves and the plant dies.

Train your dog to pee on them.

No dog? Well have a few beers and I bet you can come up with a method.

I've had excellent success with WD-40

Boiling water. Be careful.

If you wish to be a little more environmentally friendly and save money as well, you can get gallon jugs of "Liquid Edger" for cheaper than a small can of WD-40.

You just reminded me of the simplest procedure. Put a clear plastic sheet over it for an hour or so in direct sunlight and you will have cooked the plants. No cost, no mess, no problem.

Go to google.com and search for "JT850"

They work great for this purpose.

I heard that vinegar will do the trick. Haven't verified it however.

Best solution is Triox, which will not only kill what's there, but also give season long protection from new weeds.

Except for the plastic sheet. I find that I can get weed and grass killer at the discount table at the local retailer for $5. Small bottle that makes many gallons. Spend the $5 and save yourself the trouble.
