How to kill Buddleia Davidii


Question
Hello

I need to commit this crime because its roots have dug up my neighbour's patio. Can I just chop it at ground level, or (as I suspect) will I need to treat it somehow to kill the root system?

Thankyou
Steve

Answer
Unfortunatly, your suspicions are correct, you would need to kill the plants root system. try an herbicide if you can find a good one. there was a chemical by ortho called triox that would work. it is strong, and will kill any plant it touches. you should be abel to find something in a garden center that will work, probably you can cut the plant down to the ground, then spray or douse the plant with the chemical you find. check with a local garden center for the best option available in your area, and of course always follow directions on the container. thanks and good luck.
