Weeds, ants, rain damage the slab and paving joints

I've read several posts here in the forum, which have dealt with the topic.

For some users salt was the best solution, others swore to burn off, others take ants ex or baking soda and there are even some who enjoy reworking the joints.

Last year, I broke up with all home remedies because I realized they would not help in the long term either. I have gone to the building materials dealer of my confidence and have let me take extensive advice.


It was clear. It should be a plaster joint mortar or slab mortar, which should eliminate my problems permanently.

There was a whole lot of it, also of the most different composition and above all very different prices.

With the brochure material, I am then home and then googled intensively, also looked here if anyone knows what or what experience people have done with the stuff. Was very interesting. And partly also very instructive.


I then decided for a plaster joint mortar in 40kg bag with epoxy resin. He was warmly recommended to me by the building materials dealer and highly praised on the Net.

I had worries whether the Fugenzeug in winter not freeze or something. Winter is over now, the snow has melted and I have looked closely. The joints are still 1a.

So today this tip from me. Before you unpack the chemical club, turn the patio into a salt desert, run the risk of burning down the house, or make harmless little, quite useful ants burst, try a reasonable and lasting solution.
