Bindweed roots go 20+ feet deep — digging is ineffective and broken roots regrow aggressively. Paint glyphosate onto leaves carefully to avoid harming desirable plants. This is a multi-season battle.
Carefully paint or spot-spray glyphosate on bindweed leaves, avoiding nearby plants. Repeat every 2-3 weeks as new growth appears. Triclopyr is also effective.
Repeatedly cut vines at soil level to exhaust root reserves. Thick mulch (4+ inches) slows but rarely stops it.
Watch for seedlings and remove immediately. Do not let it flower or set seed. Landscape fabric under mulch can slow spread.
