    Unfortunately, no one makes herbicide antidotes that I've ever heard of. The most you can do is continue good care of the locusts, and hope for the best. Hopefully, they didn't get a big enough dose to kill the tree, just to damage the leaves. I'm going to give you an article on less poisonous ways to control weeds: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/special/organic/homemade-pet-friendly-weed-killer.htm

    Do you know what variety of locust tree that was planted? The maximum height of a locust can range from about 40-100 feet depending on the variety of locust tree.

    I would say your concerns might have some validity. Here is a link to a website where it was proven that honey locust trees caused damage to somebody's driveway:

    I hope that helps.

    Please consult a professional to determine the safety of the tree.

    A professional Arborist or a reputable tree trimming company should be able to help you.

    If the tree has a fungus disease, I would treat it with a fungicide (Neem oil is good).

    You can cut down the sprouts and paint the cut ends with the full strength herbicide. They will take up the chemical through it's system and help kill the main roots. It can take multiple treatment.
