How do I kill moss on concrete garden paths without killing pets?

I have moss growing profusely on all my garden paths and want to remove it with ingredients that won't harm my pet dog or cat. I have a water pressure cleaner, however some of the concrete is beginning to erode, so I don't wish to use it.

boiling water works for me. you pour a kettle full of boiling water on the plant and cook it. you may need to do this more than one time but water will not hurt your pets. and the bonus youcan have a cup of tea atthe same time LOL.
Reply:salt, salt water, and bleach if careful.





I've never had any problems with bleach, just dont let pet near it for an hour or 2!
Reply:3 parts water one part Clorox in any kind of sprayer or pouring directly, apply generously and within a couple days it'll come off easly with a garden hose.
Reply:Use your pressure washer, just hold it off the concrete a bit. You don't need to have those half an inch from the concrete to work.
Reply:You might try a heavy mixture of salt water. I have used it to kill certain weeds and it works. Keep the pets off until it dries, only because the salt may sting their feet.





Additional info: If you use this repeatedly, it can erode or deteriorate the surface of the concrete.
