Roundup will kill anything it touches, right? I'd like to find a spray
that can be broadly applied to large areas without killing all the
grass, trees, or shrubs.


do as you are advised. I was in the hospital three times until I
discovered the merits of applying Roundup with a small paintbrush. You
only need to touch one leaf to kill the whole plant. Trust me. The
other thing that helps is whacking all the large vines in your
neighborhood (say, within 200 yds of your home). a nice little cut at
the base of the vine will do. That will shut off the sources of seeds.
If you cut a large vine on your property, you will have billions
suckers. Mow them where possible, or roundup them.
