Issue with midwestern wild grape vines........?

These wild vines grow like kudzu and kill off surrounding trees and shrubs it can wrap its vines around.


Plus, it seems to attract poison ivy and inflict more intense skin rashes than the poison ivy.





Is there any chemical that can be used to get rid of this?





If I were to drill holes in the root system and pour salt on it, could it possibly kill the plants near it?

Best way to get rid of it is to cut it off at the root and put Brush and Stump Killer (available at your local garden store or nursery) directly on the cut surfaces with a sponge or paintbrush, being careful not to get it on anything you don't want to kill. It will go down into the roots and kill it out, but you have to do it while the cut is fresh.





Salt stays in the soil forever, it will keep other plants from growing in that area.





Ity doesn't attract poison ivy, but birds eat the berries and probably sit in the grapevines while they eat them and the seed falls on the ground under them, and germinate, and use the grapevines to climb on.Wear rubber chemical proof gloves when you are handling any of those vines.
Reply:If you want to do it yourself then put on gardening gloves, and cut them down to the ground. Have a syringe handy, and use it to put tree stump remover down into each vine's tap root. You may need to use something else to pierce a hole down into them. This will kill them off.





The poison ivy is not attracted by it. While growing, if the vine comes across poinson ivy it will collect the seed from it as it grows taking it elsewhere to germinate.
Reply:Contact DNR (department of natural resources) or a conservation department, or the department of agriculture. They should be able to tell you.
