How to Remove Vines From Your Yard

Perfectly manicured vines can quickly turn into an invasive jumble throughout your yard if not properly maintained. In many cases, vines can invade your backyard from a neighboring plot of land. For those fearing an exhaustive removal process, it will be a relief to know that killing the vines in the yard is a straightforward process that can be executed in one day of work. The use of an environmental-friendly herbicide takes most of the hard work out of the removal process and is highly effective.

Instructions

- 1
  Cut away as much of the vines as you can with garden shears and dispose of the clippings. Parts of the vines that are attached to your home or other structures in your yard should be left alone. Do not pull them from the surface. Doing this may damage the surface.
- 2
  Cover your hands with rubber gloves and carefully pour the herbicide into the top of a pump sprayer.
- 3
  Close the top of the sprayer and prepare it for use as instructed in the user guide.
- 4
  Step 1 to 2 feet away from the vines and hold the tip of the extension wand 3 to 4 inches away from the remaining vines.
- 5
  Soak the vines with the herbicide. Pay particular attention to the roots and soil surrounding the roots of the vines.
- 6
  Wait one to two weeks for the herbicide to kill the vines, then clean up the remains and dispose of them. Dead vines that are clinging to your home's exterior can be brushed from the surface with a push broom.
- 7
  Rinse down the exterior of any structure that was sprayed with the herbicide.
