Tree stump killer

I may have made an accidental oversight and continued to use the last of my Amcide (Ammonium Sulphamate) stock to treat stumps. Now its all gone and I've found out it has been banned by our european friends. So what do we use now? Can anyone please enlighten me. :confused1:

Though amcide is still available for the general public to use, commercially we are legally allowed to use Timbrel:sneaky2:. Be aware it's really nasty. Suits, goggles, mask and boots. In there efforts to make everywhere so much safer the EU imposed a raft of test criteria for chems in everyday use. As I understand it the folk that produce amcide either didn't bother or couldn't meet these compliance tests and so it had to be withdrawn from commercial use.:001_huh:

Now we been forced from using an innocuous substance you could practically eat without side effects to using something approaching a nerve agent because the producers could produce the coshh data sheets.:thumbdown::thumbdown:
