What Should You Expect From A Tree Root Killer?

It isn't a big secret, in order to get rid of unwanted tree roots you need something powerful. There are many options out there that use very potent ingredients. However, it is smart to look into these ingredients before using them.

Diquat Dibromide-This is a one of the most common herbicides on the market today. It causes the root or unwanted plant to dry out very quickly and die. However, it can also be fatal to people if swallowed, inhaled, or absorbed by the skin. http://pmep.cce.cornell.edu/profiles/extoxnet/dienochlor-glyphosate/diquat-ext.html

Sulfate-Sulfate is another very strong ingredient used in root killers. It acts by damaging the cells of the plants, which in turn causes them to die out. It also carries the same risks to humans that the Diquat Dibromide does. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfate

Metam Sodium-This product kills any roots it comes in contact with. It has been shown to have many effects on the body, including reproductive effects and a possible carcinogen.  http://www.beyondpesticides.org/gateway/?pesticideid=48
