What type of vines? I have wintercreeper (euonymus), boston ivy, creeping charlie, and virginia creeper. Mostly I just pull the euonymus and ivy since they are non-native and very invasive. But it's a constant process. I removed the ivy in my front garden by pulling and then painting the exposed roots directly with weed killer.
Cut them as far down as you can,providing there are no other plants involved you can spry them with oaths brush b gone making sure the root system is totally covered
Unfortunately the best is pulling and cutting. If there is a large stalk you can wrap it with an strong herbicide like Tordon on a cotton rag and then layers of plastic, and aluminum foil on the cut end. Most of the herbicides that would kill these would also kill any trees. Be sure to pick up any you cut off or pull and dispose of at the dump as it will sprout new plants.
This is just the thing! I find this works wonderfully. You have to cut the vine and then brush this on the top of where you cut it. Bonide It will travel down to the roots and kill the plant. Cut it wherever it is coming back and brush that on.

1 cup Epsom salt, 1 cup salt, 1 cup vinegar. Fill quart bottle with water. Or use 1/2 cup parts if using smaller spray bottle.
Cut off close to the ground and paint the cut stump with Round Up so it gets to the root quicker. You may need to repeat if they are really tenacious.
