I have wisteria originating from surrounding properties taking over my yard. Any way to kill it for good?

Firstly it is hard to kill and secondly it is not yours to kill. Trim back from your yard is all you can do

HERBICIDAL CONTROL:





GLYPHOSATE: Apply a 2% concentration of glyphosate and water plus a 0.5% non-ionic surfactant to thoroughly wet all foliage. Do not apply so heavily that herbicide will drip off leaves. Glyphosate is a non-selective systemic herbicide that may kill non-target, partially-sprayed plants. Ambient air temperature should be above 65°F.





TRICLOPYR: Apply a 2% concentration of triclopyr and water to thoroughly wet all foliage. Do not apply so heavily that herbicide will drip off leaves. A 0.5% concentration of a non-ionic surfactant is recommended in order to penetrate the leaf cuticle. Ambient air temperature should be above 65°F.





FOLIAR SPRAY METHOD: Use this method to control large populations. It may be necessary to precede foliar applications with stump treatments to reduce the risk of damaging non-target species.

Reply:Speak to your neighbors about it, this is a very invasive plant, if you have no neighbors and it is wild wisteria try spraying it with Round up brush killer. It will still send up new vines, you have to keep on top of it, it took us three years to kill the stuff. Maybe you can talk to your neighbors and they can help you get rid of it if it is getting overly invasive.
Reply:You could poison it at it's roots. I think that's a pretty serious offense though. You might want to ask your neighbors to keep their vines off your property.
