Sewer and Septic Root Killer for Trees and Shrubs, Copper Sulfate Formula Protects Sewer Pipes, Drains and Septic Tanks from Invasive Root Growth (2 Pound)

This is the 2nd best overall "root killer' I've found, but the easiest to use and costs less than many others. We have issues with scrub oak & pine tree roots getting into our ~75-year-old clay pipe drain line(s) going to our septic tank. We have the system scoped every few years and the sewer lines themselves are fine. But the roots sneak in at the joints so we use a root killer at least once a year. While ROOTX has worked the 'best' of the various brands we've tried, it can be a real problem to use because of the terrific foaming action. (Which is part of what makes it work so well) Adois kills the roots just as well but doesn't 'reach up' to the top of the pipe so it only kills the roots that actually touch the 'water'. Adios is the easiest to use and kills the roots as well as any of the others, except the roots invading the drainpipe from the top. We've scoped the sewer lines from the main house, guest house and shop/storage building both before and after using several different root killers. Because of the great foaming action of ROOTX, it kills all the roots the 'best' even those coming in from the top but can be an issue to use if you're not prepared. ROOTX foams so much, so fast it fills the pipe/sewer line quickly which coats all the roots and kills them but can also foam back out the cleanout opening. I do not recommend using it from inside, pouring it into a toilet. We've taken to using Adios a couple times a year from Spring through Fall and starting off the year using ROOTX in the Spring when the trees & brush start growing. Good product at a great price.

been using this for about seven years works great. It's an excellent prevention of sewage clogged up.

Don't really know if it works as I cannot see the drain field.Ill use it in good faith and hope it works as described.

Much needed item a few times a year to keep tree roots from growing through my septic system.

Works for root removal.

Got job done
