Vitax SBK Tree Stump Killer - 250ml

Yes, the product is safe for families and pets once it has dried. Always ensure children and pets are kept away from the treated area until it is completely dry.

Each 250ml bottle is designed to treat up to eight average-sized tree stumps when used as directed.

The product is most effective when applied during autumn or winter. This is when the sap flow in trees and woody plants is low, allowing for maximum absorption into the roots.

Vitax SBK is intended for use on tree stumps, roots, and woody weeds in non-crop areas like fence lines and grassland. It is not designed for general lawn weed control of fine grasses.

The concentrated formula is designed to penetrate deep into the roots to prevent regrowth. Over time, it helps to break down the root system, effectively eliminating the stump.

For very old or dry stumps, you may need to re-drill or re-cut the surface to ensure the concentrated solution can penetrate effectively. Multiple applications may also be required.

Ensure the product was applied directly to the freshly cut surface and that the correct dilution ratio was used. Reapply if necessary, following label instructions, especially during the optimal application season (autumn/winter).

Verify that the application occurred during the recommended autumn or winter period. Ensure the solution penetrated the stump adequately and was not washed away by heavy rain soon after application. Check if the stumps were old and extensively established, which might require multiple applications.

If desirable plants have been accidentally treated, rinse them immediately with plenty of water. Monitor them closely for any signs of damage. For future applications, ensure precise application techniques are used to avoid drift.
