If you poison a tree then you have a dead tree, just get it cut down.

Two things you could do - girdling and roundup.
The tree gets its nutrients by transporting them up the inner layer of bark. If you take a sharp knife and cut a ring a few inches wide around the trunk near the base peeling off the bark in that ring you have "girdled" it and disrupted the nutrients it needs to survive.
To take it to the next step you can drill a hole in that peeled off area and pour in undiluted brush killing liquid "Roundup" Do that while it is still actively growing. Roundup will be transported to the roots and kill the tree from there.
If the reason you want to use household products is that you don't want anyone to know what you did the a little hole with Roundup is as good as you can get.

i've got already have been given some fruit timber planted right here. Cherries and plumbs. The birds get all of the cherries....bummer. The plumbs produce the different 12 months, and are very tastey. I almost cried whilst my new neighbor moved in around the corner, and ran out first component with a chainsaw, and decrease down ninety% of their apple tree orchard the former vendors had planted. Being in any such rotten plant zone is the only component that forestalls me. i'm in plant zone 4, borderline 3. In different words, we've loooong, very coooold winters. there is purely a ton of stuff that may not improve right here. i've got purely been right here 3 years, so i'm nonetheless discovering. via the way, alongside with the perminant sort plantings/gardens that fruit and nut timber are, people shouldn't overlook rubarb, artichockes, asparagas, many herbs, berry timber and flora, and a smattering of alternative perminant sort backyard flora. ~Garnet Homesteading/Farming over 20 years

Why poison it? Just cut it down. But if your dead set on poisoning it, buy tree and shrub round up at a hardware store. It will take several applications if it's a big tree.

Buy some Epsom salt, its real cheap. Dig small trench about 8in around tree trunk and soak with hose the salt will kill the roots almost instantly and you should see tree start to die in a few weeks. Leafs will turn fast. Hope this helps, its a cheap way to kill a tree. Take care

poisoning the tree would be very poorly thought and ill-advised; the tree doesn't live in a vacuum and whatever you put into the ground is going to affect everything the water carries it to, including your municipality's water systems.
i would advise advertising it as free to whomever wants to dig it up and haul it away; this is the perfect time of year for it and you won't have any permanent effects left once the tree is gone. Either way, dead or alive, you're going to have to dig it up. may as well save it.
why would you want to kill a tree, anyway? what makes a tree hellspawn?

don't poison it, just salt it.
dump a bag of salt all around the base at the root line and it will dye eventually

Girdle the trunk and then pour rock salt around the roots.
