Getting rid of garden vines can be quite a challenge, but you have many strategies to deal with! You can kill vines by cutting them down and removing the roots, or suffocating them under mulch. Vinegar and boiling water are also an effective and non-toxic option for killing vines. With stubborn and persistent vines, you can use an internal steamer to attack the roots and get rid of them forever!
Steps
Manually remove vines

Cover to protect skin against vines. Some climbing plants such as ivy can cause skin irritation. You need to protect your skin by wearing long pants, long sleeves and shoes when in contact with vines. You should also wear thick gardening gloves. [1] X Research Source
- The right clothing can also help you avoid scratches and insect stings while at work.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/f7/Kill-Vines-Step-2-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Kill-Vines-Step-2- Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/f7/Kill-Vines-Step-2-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Kill- Vines-Step-2-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Separate vines from trees or structures using a sturdy, flat tool. To prevent damage to the tree or the surfaces the vines are attached to, use a long, flat object to separate the vines. Gently slide a screwdriver, crowbar, or similar tool between each vines and the surface to which it is attached. Slowly pull the vines up to separate from those surfaces. [2] X Research Source
- If you’re removing vines from a tree, pull slowly to avoid damaging the bark.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/9e/Kill-Vines-Step-3-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Kill-Vines-Step-3- Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/9e/Kill-Vines-Step-3-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Kill- Vines-Step-3-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Cut away vines with pruning shears or pruning saws. Cut off the vines at a height of 90 cm – 1.5 m. Depending on the thickness of the vines, you can use pruning shears or a pruning saw to cut the vines. This step will make it easier to remove the roots. [3] X Research Sources
- Discard all cut vines, as new plants will easily grow from the ones just cut.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/8/8d/Kill-Vines-Step-4-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Kill-Vines-Step-4- Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/8/8d/Kill-Vines-Step-4-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Kill- Vines-Step-4-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Pull up or dig up the base of the vines with your hands. If the vines are relatively small, you can probe all the way down to the base. Pull up the roots of the vines by hand, or use a shovel or spade to dig up the entire root system. Completely remove all roots, tubers and tubers in the ground to effectively kill vines. [4] X Research Sources
- For best results, you need to do this in the spring, when the soil is moist and soft. This way, you can dig more soil for easier access to the root system.
- Note, you may need to regularly dig up baby vines over several months or years to keep things under control.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/72/Kill-Vines-Step-5-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Kill-Vines-Step-5- Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/72/Kill-Vines-Step-5-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Kill- Vines-Step-5-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Use a lawn mower to bulldoze the ground to easily get rid of the vines. You can control the vines that cover the ground with a lawn mower. Use a gasoline lawn mower with enough power to cut tough, strong vines instead of just wrapping the vines. Run the lawn mower at least 3-4 times a year to gradually destroy the creeping vines. [5] X Research Sources
- Electric lawn mowers or rotary mowers often run through vines without cutting them off.
- If you want to take the pain out of getting rid of vines, this is the best option you can try, although it does require frequent repetition to be effective.
Use non-toxic materials to kill vines
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/2f/Kill-Vines-Step-6-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Kill-Vines-Step-6- Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/2f/Kill-Vines-Step-6-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Kill- Vines-Step-6-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Suffocate creepers under mulch. Vines require light, water and air to survive and grow. Apply a mulch made of whatever material you can use to cover the area where the vines grow. Cover completely so that the vines do not receive enough light and air to kill them in a few weeks. [6] X Research Sources
- Try to use biodegradable mulch such as grass clippings, bark, old newspapers or fallen leaves so they can decompose in the soil after killing the vines.
- You can also use plastic sheets to cover the vines. This material takes away oxygen and creates heat that can kill vines after a few weeks.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/9f/Kill-Vines-Step-7-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Kill-Vines-Step-7- Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/9f/Kill-Vines-Step-7-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Kill- Vines-Step-7-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Use the vinegar mixture to spray the vines. Fill a spray bottle or garden sprayer with a mixture of 80% water and 20% vinegar. Spray the vinegar mixture on the vines. Check the situation after 2-3 days on removing the dead vines. Repeat this process if necessary. [7] X Research Sources
- Be careful not to spray on other plants.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/7a/Kill-Vines-Step-8-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Kill-Vines-Step-8- Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/7a/Kill-Vines-Step-8-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Kill- Vines-Step-8-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Pour boiling water over the roots. Use tree scissors to trim off any bulky wires on the surface and discard. Use a shovel or spade to dig the soil until it reaches the roots of the vines. Pour about 3-4 cups of boiling water directly over the roots, where the roots and stumps meet. [8] X Research Sources
Use of internal herbicides
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/42/Kill-Vines-Step-9-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Kill-Vines-Step-9- Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/42/Kill-Vines-Step-9-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Kill- Vines-Step-9-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Buy triclopyr herbicide to kill large vines and woody stems. Internally absorbed herbicides will enter the plant’s vascular system through the leaves, then kill the roots. You should use the herbicide triclopyr, the most powerful internal herbicide, to kill strong vines. The drug will penetrate through the thick outer bark of the vines easily. [9] X Research Source
- You can buy herbicides at a garden center or store.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/0/02/Kill-Vines-Step-10-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Kill-Vines-Step-10- Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/0/02/Kill-Vines-Step-10-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Kill- Vines-Step-10-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Use the herbicide glyphosate to treat herbaceous climbing plants. You can get rid of herbaceous vines with a milder internal herbicide. Spray the herbicide glyphosate on the leaves of the vines to penetrate the vascular system of the plant. Herbaceous vines are not as resilient as woody vines, and can be destroyed without the need for strong poisons. [10] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/ef/Kill-Vines-Step-11-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Kill-Vines-Step-11- Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/ef/Kill-Vines-Step-11-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Kill- Vines-Step-11-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Spray the leaves of the vines that grow separately with an internal herbicide. If you want to kill vines growing on the ground or on structures that do not touch other plants, you can spray an internal herbicide on the vines. Spray enough to completely wet the canopy. Avoid spraying so much that the medicine drips into the ground, as this can damage the soil and roots of nearby plants. [11] X Research Source
- Do not spray vines on trees or other plants.
- It can take several weeks or months to kill vines, depending on the thickness and size of the vines and how far the root system has grown.
- You may have to spray more than once.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/99/Kill-Vines-Step-12-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Kill-Vines-Step-12- Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/99/Kill-Vines-Step-12-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Kill- Vines-Step-12-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Cover other plants with a plastic bag or cloth while spraying. You can protect your garden plants from chemicals that kill vines by covering other plants with thick plastic. To protect the roots, you should also cover the surrounding ground as much as possible. Use large rocks, bricks or stakes to block the plastic sheets on the ground while spraying. [12] X Research Source
- Remove the plastic after spraying 2-3 hours.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/1b/Kill-Vines-Step-13-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Kill-Vines-Step-13- Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/1/1b/Kill-Vines-Step-13-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Kill- Vines-Step-13-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Cut off large vines and treat the stump with an herbicide. Larger and older vines often entangle other trees or cling firmly to structures or trees. Use pruning shears or a pruning saw to cut these vines and leave a stump about 8 -13 cm high. Spray undiluted triclopyr herbicide at the base of the cut tree. [13] X Research Source
- Treated stumps will die within 1 or 2 weeks after the herbicide hits the roots.
