I just ripped a bunch down off an outbuilding the base was thick enough for a chainsaw. Pulled a bunch down but theres still a shitload attached. I severed it all at ground level so I'm hoping it will come down easy once it's dead. Otherwise I will need to use a ladder.

Some virginia creeper on the other side grew between the building and the siding and came popping up 12 feet later

Fuck vines, and fuck whoever planted these

You should put some systemic herbicide on the stems you cut, something with triclopyr. Vines store a lot of energy under ground, they will almost certainly come back and be harder to kill because they'll spread out.

I don't like using herbicides but this is one of those places where it will really help, and doesn't run much risk to other plants. Apply it with a brush to the freshly cut stems.

Thanks I did that, hopefully they don't come back
