Spectracide Stump Remover Granules, 1-Pound, 6-Pack

I drilled 1/2” holes all around stump from the cut to the sides. Then I took an axe and hit it several dozen times. Making sure stump was soaked with water and tools away. I applied a half a bottle of the stump remover which covered it too and sides white. Two weeks I left it alone. Through good and bad weather. After two weeks I burned one stump which of course burned well as this is 50% oxygen chemically. And it burned to level ground. Had to clean bits with axe. But I can mow over now with no hits. Second stump I axed away at it. The stump had become very spongey and easy to level off to ground level. Not to mentions. Makes for a great nitrate in those who make their own black powder or model RC rockets.

I followed the directions and it worked. I drilled a bunch of holes in a few small stumps then poured the bottle in them. After a few months the stumps came up fairly easy

Extremely powerful works great but terrible dispenser method -hard to control spilling. Maybe new bottle solves this with smaller spout?

I got this as part of the multi-step process to kill off and hasten the decomposition of a couple of pine stumps that I have recently cut in my yard. One of the stumps is smaller in diameter (about 12 inches) and the other much larger at around 24 inches. Using a 1 inch by 17-inch auger bit, I drilled several holes into the stumps. I first applied brush killer to kill the tree roots and then applied this into the holes on the stump, poured hot water into the holes and waited for progress. This does take a bit of time to work but it does seem to make the tree decay a bit faster but depending on the size of your stump it may take multiple applications. The stumps got darker in color and became a bit easier to remove in pieces but this process takes a few months and more than a couple bottles of this. On the other hand, I didn’t find that this worked any faster than using Epsom salt which is a bit cheaper alternative, which will also work accelerating decomposition. 3 stars

Good buy

As others have written here, I used it as per the instructions 7 months ago and it did absolutely nothing to the stump. I treated it several times and still nothing. I purchased a chainsaw and cut the stump to the ground and inspected the holes I drilled to apply the product. The wood in the holes I drilled showed no signs of deterioration. Looks like I drilled the holes recently and the wood was not soft like I was expecting it to be. Waste of money! I will attempt a refund from the company.

We had a small stump from an old climbing vine that was right up against a concrete patio edge. Couldn't get at it with tools so tried Spectracide. Wasn't really able to drill the proper holes down into the stump (managed one or two but not very deep). Used the product inside the holes such as they were and sprinkled some over the top which was not per the instructions. It's been a week or so since and I can see a real difference in the look of the stump even with the poor application. Will keep at it and it appears that enough effect will happen to keep the stump from continuing to branch out.

Exactly what I asked for 😁
