Question Diseased cherry tree in garden

I have a dead flowering cherry (fungal infection I think, I can post pictures) which is about to be dug up and removed. I have been advised that it would be wise to disinfect the ground afterwards, as I wish to plant a new tree, not quite in the same location but near. What is safe to use as far as wildlife is concerned, and effective as far as the new tree is concerned. Because I feed garden birds, there will be lots of sparrows, chaffinches hopping around on the ground after it has been treated. Will they be safe? The only product I have been recommende is Armillotox. Does anybody have any useful input?
