Great help I know lol, sorry. What I do remember having is the most success with the style that attaches to a hose

Weed-b-Gon uses chelated iron, which burns the leaves but does not necessarily kill the roots. It acts more quickly and has a more dramatic immediate effect. With Killex, the weeds die more slowly but it seems to do a better, more permanent job, IMO. I have heard others swear the exact opposite, though.
I saw some guy in an unmarked truck hosing down a yard with a very strong weed killer, absolutely drenching the yard with the stuff, so I guess there is a black market for a nuclear powered weed control service out there somewhere, if you really need it. (The smell was absolutely overpowering from a block away.)
