As summer winds down, I find myself battling weeds sprouting in driveway cracks, throughout my patio, and more. Right now, you can get the Spruce Weed Killer Spray Starter Kit at Walmart for $29.97 (save $19.98). We tested Spruce weed killer products, and we were instantly impressed with the results. We also love that it’s safe for people, pets, and bees when used as directed.
