The main ingredient is glyphosate in both countries and it’s very effective at wiping out everything that it has been sprayed on. I think that your friend is misinformed.

We wanted to chime in here.
To us, it sounds like you are talking about the horrible bindweed which is near impossible to get rid of once it’s root system has been developed. It also sounds like you are thinking of bringing over the illegal Round Up which contains the highly effective weedkiller glyphosate. You are not allowed to use this product in soil, lawns, gardens or to kill weeds in Canada.
There is no real solution to this problem other than that product at this time. You can try and starve it with drought but allowing other plants to develop in bunches may help. We’ve also heard of people digging out an entire yard 18 inches deep and placing 6 inches of solid concrete down, then filling the rest with new soil that hasn’t been infested with bindweed.
I know these aren’t great solutions but until an effective legal method has been developed, you will have to try and cope.
