How Do You Kill a Tree Stump with Ecoplugs and Glyphosate?
Simple and safe to use, Ecoplugs provide no risk of chemical spill or contamination of surrounding areas. They are suitable for all types of broadleaved trees, including oak, birch and elm. With between 95 and 100% success rate on preventing tree stump regrowth, Ecoplugs are a great choice for killing tree stumps or preventing their regrowth.
Using Ecoplugs is also more affordable than chainsaw felling.
Holes are drilled into the tree stump and the Ecoplugs are then hammered in. Once in place, the plugs release the glyphosate total weed killer into the tree stump, which will eventually gain control of the stump. We recommend the Ecoplug Drill Bit, which allows you to drill the perfect size hole for the plugs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many Ecoplugs should you use per stump?
As a general rule, you should apply Ecoplugs every 6–8cm around the outside of the tree stump.
Are Ecoplugs safe to use around children, animals or water?
Yes, Ecoplugs are sealed and only release herbicide once inserted into the wood. This makes them far safer than traditional liquid chemicals, especially in public spaces, parks, gardens, and near livestock or water sources.
