Ficus roots can travel easily 7x canopy width.

If you poison that root chances are you may kill other trees as the roots graft underground.

It will probably be either ficus benjamina or hillii, one droops and the other is stiffer but leaves are very similar. Ficus tend to jump roots barriers within 2 years, and they'll grow over the top! BAD TREES NEAR BUILDINGS!
