Anyone else having problems with this little stinker ? I had it come up by my deck last summer, dug it out, got rid of it, it just popped up somewhere else in the yard (all the way around the house so a runner ?? I doubt it).... so dug that out, cleared it out, and now, this yr- it's back AGAIN, new place !!!! I've lived in the house for 8 yrs- the first 5 we never saw this plant, now we can't get rid of it !! It's a good lokking vine but I don't really want this attaching to the house !! Ideas ??

My guess is the birds keep leaving you little presents! Other than pulling them out right away, as you are doing, I can't think of anything else you can do.

I have the same problem. They didn't do much sprouting in the hard clay, but the minute I put in my New Daffodil Bed, here they came--by the 100's. I just pull them up the second they get their little heads up. I'll probably do this all summer till all the seeds that had dropped in that area are done. My hubby sprays the woods constantly to get any vines that he sees, but we've been doing this for years.
Yep, the little birdies are the culprits, too!
