Hypothetically speaking, let's pretend my neighbor has a huge honey locust right next to my fence and garden, sucking water from and shading my garden, and dropping pods in my garden so I have little locust trees coming up as weeds in my garden. If that were to happen, what would be the best way for that tree to accidentally die?
Life ain't supposed to be easy.

they make good firewood. offer to cut it up for him. after the stump is two or three years old and you routinely cut anything that grows up out of it, cut as level with the ground as you can. bury it in charcoal and light it. will burn several days but stump and all will be gone. fill the hole with a few bucket fulls of dirt
Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)

Just poor a lot of roundup at the base of the tree. it will kill it, diesel fuel would probably do the same.

Tordon RTU works awesome too! Tordon is how we kill out Honey Locust trees in the pasture, but keep in mind that Tordon does translocate through the roots into the soil so more than likely you will have negative effects on other desirable vegetation including your garden. I would explain the situation to the neighbor and offer to help cut it up, if that doesnt work explain that you are going to remove anything hanging on your side of the property line.

A few copper nails will do the job.

Hypothetically speaking, one large beaver or two. And when the job is finished, offer to trap the "nuisance" beavers at a discounted rate.
Talk with your hypothetical neighbor.... If that fails, then unleash the beavers.
"...in a very few days we succeeded in taking over one hundred beaver, the skins of which were worth ten dollars per pound." Jim Beckwourth (1856)
