Try some 2,4-D stuff. The surfactant seems to help it along quite a
bit. Timing with the growth cycles is important too. Later in the
summer, or anytime there's been a shortage of rain the plants become
somewhat dormant, and herbicides aren't as effective. If you hit them
right after a good rain when there's a growth spurt in process is it
much more effective (and permanent.) I over around Asheville NC, so I
have to deal with a the same crap, just slightly toned down from
Raleigh's level.
BTW, my source is an uncle who's worked every job there is in the
Nursery and Agri-Chem biz for 30+ years. He's no longer licensed to buy
the strong stuff, but with his advice I've knocked out kudzu, poison ivy
and briars pretty permanently.
