Killing stumps/trees which have roots that run into water areas can be tricky. Most stump killer products do not address aquatic life safety from indirect applications that could impact them, so we couldn't say for certain if applying just to the fresh cut of the stump, if the Fertilome Brush and Stump Killer would have a negative impact. You can always contact the manufacturer directly to see if they have any specific use instructions they would suggest for that application. You can reach VPG at 888-583-5296, An alternative option to try would be using aquatic plant killing products like Roundup Aquatic or Hi Yield 2,4D which may take multiple treatments, but are safe for aquatic life whether the product gets into the water directly or indirectly.

Ferti-lome Brush Killer and Stump Killer is generally used right after cutting to prevent stumps from resprouting. You could potentially cover the stump as soon as the herbicide application is dry. This, however, is not a product that would contribute to faster decay of the stump. If you want to drill holes and increase the speed of decay, then we recommend using Hi-Yield Stump Remover instead.
The product label for Ferti-Lome Brush Killer & Stump Killer states as follows: "To kill stumps and prevent sprouting, apply the undiluted product with a paint brush or backpack sprayer to completely cover the freshly cut surface. Do not reuse paint brush. Wrap in several layers of newspaper and discard in trash."
Yes! You need to use something like Fertilome Brush & Stump Killer or Crossbow and apply it undiluted to the freshly cut stumps/roots and then use it at either full strength or the highest dilution on any shoots that are coming up around the main stump. This will penetrate further into the root system to kill it out. You may have to cut back new shoots from time to time in the beginning as the Crossbow and Stump Killer products will only kill what has already emerged from the ground, not prevent the new seedlings still below the surface from sprouting up. Over time the stump and root system should die out and eventually break down in the soil. As long as the Fertilome Brush Killer and Stump Killer is only applied to the trees you need to kill, it will not effect surrounding trees.

For a stump treatment, you would cut the stumps and apply the product undiluted directly to the fresh cuts.

At that point, you could do a foliar spray by using 4-8 oz in 1 gallon of water at a rate of 1 gallon of solution per 500 square feet, being sure to wet all leaves thoroughly.
