How to get rid of crepe myrtle roots?
I may have asked this question before......We cut this C. Myrtle down and had the roots dug and grind up. Then new little sprouts are still coming up after a year or so. All around in the lawn where it was planted. Can't spray to kill, it kills the grass......PLEASE HELP!!! Thank you!!

I think C. Myrtle is the biggest garden pest the way it sends up shoots-I guess the only thing 'we' can do is wait for a shoot and then hit it with Roundup
I have had this issue with other plants in the garden and covered a large area with black plastic so it gets no sun and a thick layer of mulch so it gets no moisture through the plastic so far this season so good.
Hope it helps in your situation
What about my grass? Does it take care of it too?? In regarding to killing it too?
I use a product called Brush Killer. Stronger than Roundup.Spray
very closely on the new leaves.You might lose a little grass,but sprouts will be gone.
just keep mowing/cutting them off; eventually the roots will die from lack of nourishment provided by the 'greenery' --- or try the old Poison Ivy trick --- inject the herbicide ( for woody / brush / vines ) into the stem of a sucker, and if you can find a larger, above ground root into that as well
