Am I the only one who likes them? I keep mine trimmed back, trim it a few times each year, and it is great. But, if you don't want it, try Round Out, unless you have other plants in the area. Or, put a tarp over it or put an ad on http://www.craigslist.com to see if someone wants it.

Use a woody bark herbicide, poison ivy killer, extra strong Roundup. Spray on mature leaves. Probably will more than one or two applications. Leave at least 2 weeks between aplications. Most likely many applications will be needed as new sprouts may pop up from roots that are twining under the ground. The roots are, probably, near as long & thick in diameter as the vine is. It will take diligence to eradicate all signs of the vine.
