The best way to kill kudzu that we have found, is to spray a solution of 1 gallon of vinegar to 1 cup of salt and add a squirt of dishwashing liquid. It may take more than one spraying, but will do the job. This works better than any commercial herbicide plus it is not so hard on the environment!

It might be noted that if possible, you may want to pull vines down from trees and/or cut from trees before spraying. This will ensure that the kudzu will have less chance of spreading before you can get it sprayed down.

It also helps if the day is long and hot after spraying as the sun helps to bake the solution into the plant.

I have a whole back yard and side full this wold take truck loads or the stuff. Why won't the crop dusters just fly over and do a drop. I understand the government is the ones who brought it in here.

Do not stray until all dew and/or rain is absolutely DRY. Spray liberally next to the vines proper and soak the leaves top and bottom.

One to three applications could be possible on old vines, but works great on new growth!

I wonder if the above will also kill wild honeysuckle, which is very hard to get rid of.

So is there not a way to get this done as you said. I have heard since I was just a little child that the government brought it to the USA SI WHAT CAN WE AS CITIZEN DO TO GET THIS MESS OUT OF HERE. I AGREE, THEY COULD HAVE AIRPLANE FLY OVER AND NOTIFY US AT WHAT TIME THEY WILL DO THIS AND KILL THIS STUFF ONCE AND FOR ALL. ALL KIDS OF RADIANT AND SNAKES ARE A THREAT TO MY FAMILY .

I am drowning in this stuff as well. I am 72 and single as well. I try to keep it cut back out of the yard, then I look around and it has creeped in somewhere else. Someone take this stuff back overseas where it belongs and leave us in the south alone

What does the salt in this solution do to other plants and the soil?

I'm not sure about the vinegar and I'm no scientist however kudzu is a legume. Which means it needs nitrogen to grow. A heavily salted soil would neutralize nitrogen.
