How about soaking the base of them around the roots with diesel fuel.

I have read that rock salt works, so that is an option which might be
less harmful to the environment than diesel fuel.

I've never used rock salt before, so I'd have to research how to use it
on plants.


it can also sterilize the soil so you won't be able to plant anything.
furthermore, when it rains, everything downhill may also go.
