Application Method for Root Control In Between Tree Roots and Sewer Lines-Root Proofing: To prevent long term root growth from the tree into sewer lines, bore a series of small holes, 2 feet apart, into the ground near the offending tree or outside the sewer joints using water or mechanical boring equipment. Add 4 oz of Roebic Foaming Root Killer per hole and fill with soil. Be sure the holes location and depth is directly between the offending tree's roots and sewer line.
