Here people have found to kill gorse they mix the following:

Roundup 170gm/100ml of water
Metsulfuron  3 gm  (this is the bit that gives the kick)
Surfactant 100ml  (this is just a soap)

Try it and let us know.

Someone suggested I try spraying bleach on poison ivy.  It works!
I used the old fashioned, generic, undiluted bleach (strong stuff)
which costs much less than Roundup, etc. (less than $1 @ gallon).
If your poison ivy patch has a head start, it may take several
sprayings before the roots get the message and give up.  For best
results I've read its leaves should be sprayed when they are in
that rapid spring growth stage, starting to get large.  I probably
read it in this news group....
