I don't subscribe to this view, I know clients specify them but this is often only to have proof of application. A competent herbicide application is far cheaper and just as effective, even using relatively benign chemicals like ammonium sulphamate when it was allowed. It could be done without needing extra tools and far less labour. They have taken off in the utility sector because of the lack of professionalism of we in the industry.

 

At 50p a shot these things are expensive for the amount of active ingredient they contain and what happens to the plastic when the stump rots?

 

They are a triumph of marketing over good sense.

 

It takes a couple of hundred years to degrade.

good point :001_smile:
