Spray with "Roundup" mixed good & strong.
My neighbour uses plastic drinks bottles with the bottom cut out, push the plant up through the neck, and then spray into the body of the bottle. As said elsewhere, there is a good argument for thinking that over-dilute is a better idea than strong. Since bindweed tends to be rather shiny and water does not adhere well to it, a bit of washing-up liquid in the mix helps.
