getting rid of virginia creeper

We have virginia creeper all over our yard. How can we kill it out? It is taking us over

Thank you

Doug says he has the same darn problem. He's getting serious and not allowing any of the roots to throw shoots. He's whacking them off as often as they send up a shoot. Will only take a year or a bit to get rid of them. The folks who had this garden planted this weed and even protected it over the winter. :-)

I don't recommend this but some folks cut off the vine about six inches above ground level and then paint the stump with full strength Glyphosate (Roundup). This painting is a registered use and will kill off the vine root. It is far more effective than spraying the vine but you do have to use the concentrate, not the ready to spray concentration.
