I would rather deal with trumpet vine than wisteria, creeping fig (like
every house around here has on the walls) or english ivy when it has found a
comfortable spot.

I absolutely set my foot down and wouldn't allow wisteria anywhere near my
property, even with wifey saying "but it's so beautiful in the spring".
I really just don't like VINES, also including passion plant (May Pop), ivy of
any kind from poison oak, poison ivy to English ivy, jasmine etc

After 20 years I think I have the morning glory down to about a 10' area, the
English ivy and poison ivy both are still sprouting up over the entire place
and the trumpet vine was still trying to put up new runners over about 20'
this past year. The only thing I have managed to completely eradicate is the
may pop and jasmine.
