The EASIEST Way to Kill a Tree Stump
Killing a tree stump using herbicide is a very easy process, even if you cut the tree down months ago. When the bare stump has been exposed for a while, all you need is a drill, a large drill bit, and herbicide that is effective against the target tree species. We’re using Tordon RTU, but you should verify that it will work for your needs before you go out and buy it.

When a tree is cut down the stump will only accept herbicide for about 30 minutes. After that, in an attempt to heal itself the stump will “scab over”. When this happens you can no longer apply herbicide to the cut stump. By opening a fresh wound, in our case by using a cordless drill and a spade bit, herbicide can be effectively applied even months later.
This tree (we believe it was a Bradford pear) was growing directly in front of our house. It was a nuisance; it was ugly, it clogged up the gutters, and it was much too close to our home. So we cut it down. We did not, however, treat the stump with herbicide after felling the tree, so months later this tree is trying to resprout. Instead of fighting with the sprouts every time we need to weedeat, we’re going to treat the stump and kill it once and for all.
Apply herbicide to the outermost inch or so (known as the cambium layer) of the tree stump. This layer of the tree contains the structure by which moisture (and therefore herbicide) is transported up and down the tree. Always be safe when using herbicides and always read the label to make sure the herbicide you’re using is effective against the tree species you’re targeting.
