What kind of vine is this, and how do I kill it?

It’s taking over my fence and backyard. No matter how vigilant I am cutting it back, it feels like a losing battle. It’s starting to reach my house, and I feel like every day I’m finding a new streamer trying to crawl up the bricks.

Roundup has no effect on it. Would Stump and Vine Killer work? Any suggestions?

Does it bloom? Almost looks like jasmine of some kind.

It’s not jasmine. It doesn’t bloom. It’s just dark green waxy leaves.

It’s Jasmine. Maybe confederate jasmine based on how it looks like it’s twisting together. It blooms in spring and smells glorious. Not as aggressive as Asian jasmine

I'm no expert, but it looks exactly like Confederate Jasmine to me.

If you've aggressively cut it back back every year it may not bloom. It blooms in Spring, but if it has been stressed by heavy cutting it wouldn't bloom because it is concentrating energy in regrowing the vine.

I would think a vine killer would work. I'd cut in all the way back and spray the base.

ETA: And iNat says it is Asiatic Jasmine.

That’s weird. If you’re coming over, bring food.

You probably have location tags turned on in your camera settings.

1 part RELEGATE or REMEDY
3 parts Diesel

Read the label. Probably start with a basal treatment.

I've had good success with stump and cut vine killer for Japanese virgin bower, bush killer, climbing hemp, Virginia creeper and poison ivy. Unfortunately, it can be labor intensive. I've been less successful with blackberry, morning glory and common briar...digging up is better for them.

Whatever your problem vine is, locate the main stems right where roots emerge from ground, cut that exposed main stem and apply the killer while the cut is fresh. If there are numerous such stems, I also hit the cut/treated ones with spray paint to help keep track.

If the vine plants already have established an extensive net of underground runners, it's going to take many applications.

Ask your garden center for a product that is thick to prevent runoff, colored so you can see the coverage and comes with a brush rather than a spout.

Because my pictures were doing this

I'll remove the location tag on them and repost them when I get a moment.
