In my opinion, foaming killer would be less effective. I have only used the granular formula, and it works perfectly in my application. I have Juniper roots infilterating my sewer and drain lines (which are persistent and hardy). In the past i have had to use cutting rotator blades to clear the sewer. Now that i have discovered the use of Roebic Killer, rotor blades are not necessary. This process has saved me hundreds of dollars not to mention the time and mess of back ups. I rate Roebic the best on the market, without reservation. One application will serve me for about 20 months, then i just apply another before signs appear.

Need to ask a plumber, sorry, I am just a consumer who used this product based on a recommendation from my plumber

I read somewhere that the crystals, while effective and will kill the roots it contacts, will just sit at the bottom of the pipe, thereby missing the roots that come from the top of the pipe. That's where the foaming action is helpful. The foam expands to fill the pipe, where it contacts all roots. This makes sense to me, though I can't attest to the best way. I suspect that using the foaming one once a year and maybe the crystals twice a year might be a good compromise. If either one was really better, why would the same company sell both, right? BTW, you can get the crystals from other brands for $3/lb, versus their $10/lb.

The problem is geting the root killer to the areas where the roots are growing. If you already have a clog then you are going to have to get them out some way. Some time depending on the clog some of the drain cleaners will get things moving again. I use the root killers as a preventive measure before I get a clog by preventing regrowth of roots. The foaming root killer seem to give a little better coverage.

I only used the K-77 root killer...and it didn't help my situation at the time.I may try it again if the problem arises.

1/2 cup borax is a good cleaner. Also Seventh Generation and Mrs. Myers makes carpet shampoos that are earth-friendly. Drugstore.com might have some other all natural cleaners. White vinegar is good, as is alcohol. Simple green is an excellent cleaner (adjust amounts, start with 1/3 simple green and 2/3 water and go from there) Oxy-clean is good (not sure about non-toxic), but THE VERY BEST pre-treater is Castor & Pollux OUT SPOT! All natural, and great stain and odor remover, second would be biokleen BAC-OUT stain and odor eliminator, natural, non-toxic and biodegradable (live enzyne cultures and lime peel extract) both are available from drugstore.com and various other places. I stay well stocked on both! Cathy

This is a bit more purified as it is meant for swimming pools. It is still effective. But the best root killer is plain old rock salt. May damage the trees that have the roots in the pipes though.

Hi, Jobe's organic 09226 it turned my sick Meyer lemon's life around . Was recommended by a friend who uses on her Meyer that produces beautiful lemons. Prior I used a time released fert. for citrus and nut trees result became nightmare for my tree, very pleased in the results.....

I have had both recommended by arborists. Some like the granules, since they are easier to apply, some swear by the liquid.

both work well., but we prefer the floss action. it really does help in the flossing. since using this brush my dentist has noticed the improvement and keeps telling me to keep flossing!

The difference appears to be the concentration of the dichlobenil herbicide. Oblitiroot contains 1.5% and RootX contains 0.55%. How this translates to performance I'm not sure, but in this case more is likely better.

This spiralizar has the highest rating, about the same quality as the Paderno but comes with better customer service, price and guarantee. Here is a complete comparison of this and some other models: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2KCYZJPGWDJXC/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B00I8N1JK6. Glad I bought based on the recommendation and saved some money.

The Ontario Kukri hands down. It will eliminate any and all vegetation it encounters, and more importantly will also eliminate any threats far better than a machete. My opinion.

This is the best one that I have used. My first one lasted for several years. My newer ones have not. I do use it everyday, so I can justify because of use and price that I replace it every year. They really don't make them like they used too. I have found that different battery brands change the frothers performance.

I do not know. I have found a much more satisfactory product which kill and has long lasting residual action

unfortunately I've not used UberSurge yet but I believe both, together is over-kill. Use the one that gives the better results.

I live in PA as well. This only worked for about 2 months. Since then, I've had better luck with week killer from Home Depot. Can't remember the name but it's a pump and spray combo. All in one unit so you don't have to worry about another external container. Much easier to use and has better strength.

I would agree. The main differences I can see is that the cascade complete has a pre-treating solution and a rinse aid. It works well if your water is reasonably soft.

I think there are other products more suitable for your use. Besides being highly toxic, the amount of Rubber Renue needed for tires would be very expensive.

This Fiskers 3 Claw (7880) is the very best of any no mater what type of root you are after. Don't accept any other than the "7880 3 Claw).
