Default Root killer to avoid roots getting into the drain

Hi,

I have a large tree in the wetlands behind my house where my sump pump water
gets drained to, Roots from the tree get in and clog the pipe and it is an
annual ritual to clear it using powered snake. I saw a root killer in home
depot which is not safe for sump pump parts and so needs to be applied
where the the waters gets drained. Is that a good solution? How effective
is it? Is there a root killer which is safe for the sump pump and so can be
applied into the sump.

Any advice is appreciated,

TIA
