These tree people charge a fortune to cut down a tree and I am on a fixed income,can't pay their price.Most of them are cedar trees and a few are pine or some other kind.I heard there's a way to kill them but don't know how to do that.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
I live in Va....USA

Advertise on Craigslist.org in your area for someone to cut them down and haul away the wood for free...just make sure they are insured. Lots of people do this to sell for firewood.

A copper nail in the trunk works, as does a chemical called 2-4D (but be careful with it).
If you really want them down fast, send a message to the White House claiming the Muslim extremists keep hiding secret messages in them...
The cover your ears and stay away from the windows when the Apache choppers come roaring through.
Benefit to this is the chain guns will turn the trees into firewood and you don't even have to lift an axe.

There is a chemical product called Dropping Roots. You can buy it a Lowes. If there are no Lowes in your area you can order on-line. You poor it on the base of the trees and the roots die and the tree rots little by little.There is a chance of the tree falling after it has roted and could damage property. It is a good idea to go ahead and pull the tree before it is completely rotten.

If you kill them, someone is still going to have to cut them down.
Do you have anyone who can use a chain saw? Preferably someone who isn't an idiot?
The tree types you mentioned aren't particularly large trees, I wouldn't think, so removing them shouldn't be very hard. You can rent a chain saw for not that much per day, so maybe you have a family member or friend who can take care of it.
Alternatively, if you have a neighbor with a fireplace, maybe he'd be willing to take them down. He might even be willing to pay whatever it takes if he can have the wood when it's down.

Lots of ways to kill a tree. Unfortunately, the result is that the tree falls down, usually in an inconvenient manner, such as on top of a fence, building, or person.

Kill them by girdling them. Cut the bark and the underlying soft tissue of a tree trunk and extend around all of the trunk's circumference. Be careful a dead tree is more likely to fall eventually and looks ugly.

Advertise them as firewood. Tell them they can cut it and haul it away. You probably have several hundred dollars in wood sitting out there. In Montana, a cord of firewood is going for about 200 a cord. You have probably got about 3000 dollars or more in potential income.

Pour bleach on the roots...around the base, but they may eventually fall down then.
You can also cut the roots that snake out into the yard, but thats a lot of work.

...when you say "tree(s)"...More then "one"... how big are they, "tall" etc. "diameter" etc. because, you can most likely hire a neighbor "kid" with a chain-saw then go to Home Depot and get some "stump out" (chemical) and let "technology" do the rest... it's a process but it will work.
(then too...after "they" are cut down... you've got to consider how "they" will be removed...unless you're going to cut them up for fire-wood.)
