mares tail is a tough one m8 you can get it treated by a specialist gardeners but it will cost you

to fully get rid you need to dig at least 5ft and remove everything

is it in your lawn or on block paving ?

try caseron G which is a residual wedkiller or Garlon which is used as stump killer.
Both of these are pro weedkillers, so you cant buy them off the shelf.
Im afraid some nice people in Europe saw to most of the good stuff being delisted from use.
You can order it online or from a good farm supplier ( not alot of good if you live in a city).
I'm afraid most of the stuff sold to the general public is crap!
Or find someone like me or the the other landscaper on here who has a PA1 PA6 spray ticket and pay us to deal with the nasty weeds.
