I have removed several old shrubs from my yard. However, I can't stop the
stumps from re-sprouting. Ideas?

This is a problem with many woody plants. They store sugars in their
roots and until this is exhausted or the roots are removed, they will
keep trying to send up shoots. Plants that are girdled and allowed to
die will not do this. But it may take several years to kill a plant
this way. I did it to walnut trees and it took 3 years, but when they
died, they didn't send up shoots. Also, you can use chemicals like
roundup on the green shoots and this will kill the roots. The other
option is to dig up the roots.
