My bush is killing me. Please tell me how to murder all of it.
This is the bush. It does not have a trunk. There are a thousand single branches. Pix 3-4 I haven't been able to kill what I think is a black walnut I have those around me . I've had it cut down to a stump and it survived.
looks like pics 2, 3 and 4 is tree of heaven, highly invasive and able to regrow from roots. crush some leaves and sniff it, if it smells like rancid peanut butter and trash then its ToH

I’d just trim it with a number 2 guard

Try roundup. These are notoriously difficult to kill so you’re just going to have to be persistent and use the hack and spray method for now or fire if possible

Out this way it’s pretty cheap to rent a small stump grinder if you didn’t want to pay someone the price of grinding a stump out after you’ve cut it back.

Would glyphosate injected into the tree of heaven work?

Ah, finally! My area of expertise. Killing plants. This I can do. I use strong garden vinegar to kill all weeds quickly and safely. You can also buy some “brush killer” and use that. but first I’d cut it back as much as possible so only trunks and a few branches are left. Then I normally get out my trusty spade and dig up the stump and roots to remove it completely. After that, I’d apply the nuclear bomb of 40% or higher vinegar or brush killer chemicals. If it regrows, apply more killing liquid. Or sell the house and move to a better one. That would work, too.
