Preen- Its a lawn and garden, yellowish, granular, that is sprinkled on with an applicator tip made right on the can. Found at most Lawn and garden places. Basically Treflan. It keeps seeds from germinating, but will not kill plants already growing.
Dachtal comes in wetable powder or granuals. Its a light grey color. Kinda like preen. Spray or sprinkle it on. Keeps new seeds from germinating but can be used around existing plants without harming them.
Pramitol is a soil sterilant. It kills the soil. Nothing growing will live, Nothing will sprout. Neighbor put way too much on Johnson grass in the early 70's and nothing grew in those spots for 8 or 10 years. Bad stuff, use to be used by the Electric companies around sub-stations.
Atrazine is usually a white liquid, Pellet (forgot the real term, it disolved in water). Generally agricultural corn herbicide. It will kill most everything growing or sprouting, except corn and grain sorghum. Cant use it around flowers or veggies. Have to be real careful, it will "move" if you get a big rain. Also dont use near a well or watershed where it may leach into. Probably want to stay away from this unless you have used it before. It requires a Private Pesticide applicators permit to buy.
There are probably others.
Easiest for a small area. Spray with roundup first. It will kill all that is growing. Then follow up with Preen or dachtal granuals. The Preen will keep anything else from growing for a good 3-4 months.
