The vast majority of us are alive today because of small amounts of chemicals judiciously applied. I am referring to antibiotics, vaccines, and the various chemicals used to purify water, in addition to pesticides and herbicides, all of which kill stuff and are known to have some downsides or potential risks. Statistically though we are way, way ahead because of their use. Read the label and don't overuse them. Misuse and overuse of antibiotics are a big deal but nobody seriously suggests that antibiotics are bad.
Killing a guava by fire is not a sure thing. You would basically have to cook the ground for several feet around. I am able to kill guava with herbicide that are intermixed with desirable plants without killing those other plants by judicious use of the herbicide. Can't do that with fire.
