Bonide Vine & Stump Killer With Applicator Concentrate 8 Oz, 2 Pack

This product is doing a very effective job of killing off the decorative ivy growing all over my home’s foundation. It was easy to apply, although you do need to have some kind of sprayer apparatus to use it to kill off vines. I did not try it on any stumps. The pricing on this product was pretty much middle of the road for this kind of product. I was nervous that it would not work, but now it’s a few weeks later and nearly all of the ivy I sprayed it on is dead. The effects seemed unimpressive for the first few days, but now, a couple of weeks later, I am impressed. It does not work on other types of vegetation, I will have to buy brush killer for that.

The caps where loose leaked half the bottle out.

This product is great for woody plants provided you cut the shrub / tree as close to the ground as possible and try to cut some vertical slashes into the trunk as well. Paint the cuts liberally. The only reason I've given it three stars was because it arrived at my house leaking.

It works on a tough vine that has tried to strangle my maple tree and other shrubs. One cut into the vine and then brush into the cut. It spreads through. Will use on a stump and see how it works.

The product takes some time to work, but it does kill raspberry and blackberry bushes. I snip them off, painted the end with the attached brush, and waited. In a few weeks I can go out and pull them out of the ground (I have pretty loose garden soil). I knew it was working since the leaves on the stumps were yellowing and the cut tips were browning down a few inches. I ordered the two pack and my only complaint was that one of them leaked and the inside of the box was wet on one side. Otherwise, I would have rated a 5 star for the product alone. I'm sure some bushes will come back in the spring, but I will just repeat the easy procedure.
