Default how to kill tree roots near trench

I'm trenching out along a shallow foundation to install drainage. There is
a few tree roots here and there that I'm chopping out along the way. Is
there anything I can add to the backfill to sterilize the ground so the
roots don't grow back too quickly? I am not concerned about the welfare of
the tree itself. If it dies in the process, no problem.
Thanks
Bill
