How can I get rid of kudzu and how can I find out if walls are insulated without taking them down.?

Our back yard and side yard are filled with kudzu it is climbing the trees and getting closer to the house we need it gone fast!


Also we need to know if our walls are insulated or heating and cooling our home is going to cost a fortune.

How can I get rid of kudzu and how can I find out if walls are insulated without taking them down.?
Prior answerer may know kudzu better than me, but while it is crazy invasive, it is still just a plant. Go to the home center, and get yourself some Roundup. Nuke the stuff. If you cut some, put Roundup on the cut stub.





You don't need a big hole to check for insulation -- I should think 1/4" should do. Shine a light in the little hole, and if you see pink, you're good to go. If you see open space, time to insulate. Use lightweight spackle to fill the hole, and paint of needed.
Reply:you have to find the "root" of kudzu and dig it up. Using a weed killer wil hep but not kill it out completely.





the only way to know about your walls, is to cut out a small section of sheet rock and see if there is insulation there.
Reply:take the plate off of any wall switch or plug and look around the box, you should be able to see if there is any insulation sticking around it. not definitive but easy.
