I'm hoping to find one so toxic that it can kill large trees with a single application. You see I recently (as in today) had to pay $600 to unblock my two toilet pipes because tree roots had some how grown their way into the pipes and had blocked the pipes. Contractually, the home owners association is supposed to pay for fixing this **** but because they've had so many houses effected by the roots of trees on the common areas the HOA now refuses to pay for any root removal from pipes unless a horticulturalist proves its there tree which did it.
It's perfectly obvious which tree did it because the roots can be traced going under the house and coming out the other side but still the HOA refuses to pay the $600 unless I invest in around $800 in lab fees to prove the obvious. No clearly this is a deliberate dodge to get out of paying, make people pay $800 in order to make back $600, so they're hoping people just bite the expense and leave them alone. The problem is the plumber has told me these roots will grow back as the tree in question is known to have a huge and highly aggressive root system. So either I pay $600 a year to keep these bastards out so my toilets will flush or the tree has to go. I want to poison the son of a ***** so tree removal becomes the HOA's problem.
Suggestions?
