It selectively targets roots inside the leach line without harming surrounding trees, temporarily reduces bacterial activity for about 15 days, and is recommended for biannual use in 300-gallon septic tanks. This cost-effective, easy-to-apply treatment prevents costly pipe excavations and keeps your system flowing efficiently. ## Description Product description Made up of copper sulfate crystals that will kill invasive septic and sewer pipe roots without harming your tree. Root Destroyer will temporarily reduce bacterial action, but will return to normal approximately 15 days after treatment. Only roots inside the leach line will be killed. Directions 1. Calculate the required Root Destroyer dosage based on septic tank size and root growth. 2. Pour the substance into the toilet bowl nearest the sewer line in 1/2 lb. increments, flushing after each addition until the recommended dose has been added. 3. Use Root Destroyer at the rate of 2 lb. in an active 300 gallon septic tank twice a year or as needed. Review: It truly works at unclogging your pipes, and is worth every penny. - This stuff works! First you manually clean out as much gunk as you can reach with your hands and tools. Then you pour this into the pipe... and wait. It will take a few times, but eventually your drain will flow smoother and smoother. You may think it is expensive, but it costs a fraction of what it would cost to excavate or hire a professional. I strongly recommend it. Review: It works. - Applied the product in toilet and stopped deterioration (no blockage but still with the blocked noise after flushing). But it took over 2 months when suddenly all noise are gone after flushing, and can tell the dead root finally flushed away. So happy result. ## Features - Causes serious eye irritation. - Causes skin irritation. - Harmful if swallowed. - Use biocides safely.

Will this product remove the stump?** A: Copper sulfate can be used to accelerate the decomposition of tree stumps. Multiple holes should be drilled in the stump (2” wide and deep or more is recommended), then filled with the CS. The sooner, the better after taking the tree down. I do not know if the CS Pentahydrate will have the same effect, though. Another effective method is to heap on leaf mulch. Both methods require time and patience. **Q: How many applications of this product do you do to kill roots in your septic line?** A: I started by getting rid of roots with a snake. Since I've treated twice a year to keep them from coming back **Q: is it okay to use on old clay sewer pipes?** A: Well mine are clay and my house hasn't caved in yet **Q: my root clog was about 80 FEET from the floor drain... almost to the tap.. will this be effect on material that far from the initial insertion point?** A: My roots were found about 40 to 60 feet out from my house where my line joins the city line. After the Plumbers initially cut through the roots to clear the blockage, I started using the root destroyer. That was 2 years ago and I haven't had issues since. I have a toilet in the basement and per the directions I dump about 1/2 pound or so into that toilet and flush, repeating this about four times until I used the whole 2 pounds. I do this twice a year in late spring after the thaw and things have started showing signs of growth and in fall before the temperature drops too much. Like I said I haven't had to call a plumber since. I would think it would work for you, it will only cost you 14.99 to try. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It truly works at unclogging your pipes, and is worth every penny. *by C***E on 25 July 2026* This stuff works!
