Do these actually work on trees? Killing them I mean. Plenty for sale on Amazon so someone must be buying but is it more an old wives tale or do they actually work?

Need to get rid of one of those fast growing tree/weed things. Every year I cut it down but the next year it comes back thicker and stronger. Its got to go.

Drill holes in it, fill it with petrol, and burn the **** out.

 

Problem there is it's growing from under the house.

Pour diesel on the soil around the roots,  copper nail in the tree and its as good as gone*

be careful if the roots are under the house as i believe once the tree is dead the roots can rot and if under a house cause a bit of subsidence

Be careful with pouring diesel on the soil.  You could have SEPA, the Greens, Climate Extinction, not to mention Greta Thunberg on your case.
