How can I kill honeysuckle vines and the roots in the ground?
There are several products sold at most hardware stores that contains the active ingredient called; "TRICLOPYR". I've seen it sold as "Brush-B-Gone" or "Brush-Killer". "Triclopyr" was made specifically to help control hard-to-kill brush and vine species. Although Roundup is a great herbicide, it isn't strong enough to control most trees, brush and vines.





You simply mix it with water and spray the entire plant to achieve good results. Try mixing in a 1/2 tablespoon of dishsoap after you've mixed it with water. The dishsoap will help make the spray adhere better and also also more product to be absorbed into the plant by eliminating the waxy surface of the leaves.





Not sure how dense your vines are but you can save yourself some money by cutting the vines down to soil level and then applying a stronger mixture of the Triclopyr %26amp; water directly over the cut surface. You'll need apply this mixture within 10 minutes after cutting. Triclopyr works in the same manner as Roundup and will be translocated down to the roots, resulting in death of the entire plant within 10 days.





You may need to continue to re-treat any new seedlings that emerge throughout the Spring and Summer months.





Hope this information helps you get in control of those vines. Good luck!
