Article SummaryX
To kill tree roots, dig out the soil around the roots and use a root saw or loppers to cut the roots out. If you want to kill the entire tree, you can make a cut in the trunk and then spray herbicide inside of it. If the tree has already been chopped down, brush the herbicide onto the top of the stump using an old paintbrush. Then, when the stump and roots die, you can pull them out of the ground and fill in the hole. If you want to learn more, like how to kill tree roots that got inside a sewer pipe, keep reading the article!
