Looking to dig up and kill my Asiatic Jasmine for a flower bed, what chemical can I spray to help kill it before I dig it up?

Crossbow will kill it, It’s a mixture of 2,4-D and Triclopyr. Got to be careful because both of those are esters and will vaporize in hot/still weather, killing any trees in the area. Recently bought a house with a ton of Asian jasmine, been waging war on it for a year. I spray it and kill it then after a few months I take a rake peel it back in rolls. It’s a pain but it will roll up like a rug, then I burn it. Might have to repeat a few times because the stuff is resilient.

There was a thread on the H&G on this not long ago with some suggestions. LINK. Here is another thread on a law forum with useful info. LINK

Agrippa’s recommendation of Crossbow herbicide is a good one, as well as his recommendation of taking great care when using it.

If you can, take a hedger and “shave it” off the ground with the hedger at ground level. I lifted mine off like Shearing a sheep. Very little ever came back and was easy to kill when it did.

If you find something please let me know. The only thing that has worked for me thusfar is hand pulling when it's wet outside.

Did the same thing. Very little came back from the roots that were left behind.
