What Will Kill Horsetail

Apply a herbicide containing glyphosate directly to the cut weeds. This typically kills only the top portion of the weed and regrowth will occur, so several applications will be necessary to kill the weed.

Will salt and vinegar kill horsetail?

Removing horsetail in the garden by hand can even make the problem much worse, because this plant can regrow as a new plant from a single small piece left behind. Other weeds may be killed easily by using bleach or vinegar, but you can not kill horsetail with bleach or vinegar.

How do I get rid of common horsetail?

The best way to get rid of horsetail weed is simply to pull it up whenever you see it. The more you remove the tops of the plants, the weaker underground portions will become. Interestingly, the young shoots can be picked, cooked and eaten as an asparagus substitute.
