i need to kill some grass, permantly or for a long time at least. It can be either a product or some kind of mix i have to make, but the grass will need to die overnight, quickly and last for awhile. Thanks for your help

This sounds nefarious. The easiest way for you to kill grass would be to put it in my yard, that always seems to work. Otherwise, let's say you were trying to write something in the grass, you could use bleach, or attach a spayer, like for pesticides to the hose and use diluted bleach to cover large areas. But don't tell your ex-girlfriend that I told you how to do that.

Some weed and brush killers would do that well.
Nothing else would grow either, so the soil would
not be useable for other plants for months.
NOthing is overnight, but some promise
24 or 48 hours.

I use Roundup It kills most anything, though it may take a few days.

I would use Roundup, and then cover the area with a tarp. The tarp would smuther (sp??) the grass and kill it faster than just spraying Roundup. Plus, the top layer of soil with the dead grass can be scraped up easily.

You didn't say why you want to do this - so I have to assume you aren't going to plant anything else there - and I have to assume you're killing your own grass - not a neighbor's.
For quick results - use a rototiller. Then spray the area with weed killer. There are many types - Roundup being one of the more popular brands.

i've heard a mix of clorox and snow salt does some damage, anyone else hear this?
well i figure i should tell why i am doing this, and if this thread gets locked, then it gets locked, oh well i guess, but it is for a senior prank, i will be doing the spraying around midnight or so and need it to work by 2pm

Anyone "in the know" knows it's better to write on grass with a liquid fertilizer anyways.

While it wasn't that long ago that I was pulling pranks like you are now(I'm only 27), even I must admit this might be going a little too far. TP the kids trees or something. But if you scorch the lawn, nothing will grow there, possibly for years. This prank doesn't really get the kid so much as it does his parents. You see, if you egg his house or TP the trees, your proposed victim will be the one to have to clean it up, giving you even more satisfaction when you drive by the next day. If you scorch the lawn, well there really isn't anything they can do about it. don't get me wrong, it's a funny prank, but if you do it pick a very small area where only your victim and his parents will see it. Doing a little mischeif is always allright in my book, but destroying someones lawn for possibly years may get you into some legal issues. Just think twice before you do it is all I ask.

I think killing someone's lawn "permantly or for a long time" is more than a prank. It's criminal.
You might want to rethink your idea. I'm sure people here could come up with many good ideas that are less harmful - like MTeator's idea.
