FAQs
Is SBK Tree Stump Killer safe for pets and children?
Yes, once the treated areas are dry, they are safe for children and pets. However, always keep them away from the product and application process until it has fully dried.
How long does it take to kill a tree stump?
The time it takes for a stump to be completely killed can vary depending on the type and size of the tree, as well as the time of year it was applied. Typically, visible signs of decay and the cessation of sprouting can be observed within weeks to a few months.
Can I use SBK Tree Stump Killer on any type of stump?
SBK Tree Stump Killer is effective on most types of tree stumps and woody weeds. It is designed for use in grassland and non-crop areas. For very old or extremely large stumps, repeat applications may be necessary.
What is the best time of year to apply SBK Tree Stump Killer?
For tree stumps, it is best applied in autumn and winter. For woody weeds and hardwood saplings, the optimal application period is from June to August when the plants are actively growing.
How much product do I need per stump?
One 250ml bottle of SBK Tree Stump Killer is sufficient to treat up to 8 average-sized tree stumps, when used according to label directions.
Can I use this product near my vegetable garden?
No, SBK Tree Stump Killer should only be used in grassland and non-crop areas. Avoid application on or near desirable plants, including vegetables, fruits, and ornamental plants, as it can cause damage.
Do I need to dilute the product?

Troubleshooting
Stump shows signs of regrowth after application.
Ensure the product was applied to the cambium layer and the entire cut surface, especially on larger stumps. Reapplication may be necessary, particularly if applied too late in the season or if the stump was very large. Always follow label instructions for dilution and application.
Product has no effect on woody weeds.
Verify that the application occurred during the recommended growing season (June-August) and that the weeds were actively growing. Ensure thorough coverage of leaves and stems. Check if the product was diluted correctly according to the label for weed control.
Treated plants are not dying completely.
Confirm that the correct application rate and method were used for the specific type of woody growth. Some very mature or difficult-to-control woody plants may require repeat applications or a higher concentration as per label recommendations.
Treated areas are safe for children and pets once dry.
Concentrated formula offers good value for money.
Cons
Application is best suited to specific seasons for optimal results.
Primarily for use in grassland and non-crop areas.
Requires careful application to avoid off-target damage.
