One thing you can try is to dig up as much as you can of the roots, then pour Pramatol on them. It is a ground sterilizer and kills everything when used right. There are others you can use but you might want to talk to a person at your local nursery for advice. After having a large yucca removed, the roots may continue to sprout, especially if they were chopped up and scattered in the process. Where you had one large yucca removed, dozens of smaller ones may sprout for the next few years. Use a small paint brush to apply Ortho Brush-B-Gon, Poison Ivy Killer, full-strength, to the small yuccas as they sprout. It may take a few years for all the potential roots to sprout and several applications to kill each sprout, but you can eradicate the yucca with perseverance and poison.
