I had to do a controlled burn to get rid of ours - they had taken over our property. -

Oh boy. Here are a couple links. Maybe the freezing Temps will kill some of it off for you. The storm that of approaching looks frightful.https://m.wikihow.com/Kill-Kudzuhttps://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/weeds/kudzu-information-and-removal.htmMy friends in Asheville have been reasonably successful with agricultural vinegar.- See 1 previous

Goats will eat kudzu far enough down to kill the vines, Robbin. If you don't want to own them yourself, there are weed control companies that use them.Did you know kudzu is edible? Use the leaves like you would spinach, either fresh in salads or cooked various ways. The blossoms make a dandy jelly. -
